C'est Si Bon

Whatever that means???

I thought that after the excesses of the last few weeks, I would try and get things back on track - well back to obsessive dieting and exercising in any case! That seems to have got off to a slow start this week... but at least it is on the cards! ;-) On a more sorrowful note, Jen has left my time zone this week... she is safely home, am glad to say (not quite out of the jet lag zone) - and am going to try and upload some piccies tonight of her stay with me a couple of weeks back (and mine and Mark's Poland trip).
First off, before I start telling you what I have had for dinner the last few days, check out this gorgeous picture of little Namar and Tesla that she sent me this week! He is 4 months old, and is reportedly quite close to crawling already! Bless him... hopefully will catch up with them both soon.

Had a great week and weekend last week. Friday night, we did very little (I can't even remember what it was we did do, so must have been exciting!). Saturday, I headed over to Lowestoft for the weekend. Spent the morning with Janine and Simon, and little Lola (who is more gorgeous than ever - a very kissable and chatty, smiley little pixie faced darling). We spent some of it looking for Forsythe (their cat) who seems to have gone AWOL (mental note - must ask Janine if he has turned up since!). In the afternoon, we went over to Tracy's and took the boys and Lola onto the beach for a play on the sand (Oscar and Lola's first experience of sand au naturel - which was a joy to behold). After a little walk in the beautiful sunshine and, some yummy chips on the seafront, Janine headed off and we dropped the boys over at Sam's new house - he has moved into another mansion stylee house backing onto the broads. This one needs a lot of work, but is massive... 7 bedrooms!! The perfect bachelor pad?!!!! In the evening, Tracy and I went to pick up some supplies at Asda, and spent the evening in her kitchen stuffing our faces, quaffing wine, and putting the world to rights...

After an evening putting the world to rights, Tracy was a bit tense all day Sunday (one of the drawbacks of over-analysis I guess)... we went with Mum and Dad to order their conservatory furniture, and had a look round a garden centre (I have the gardening bug again!). We had a lovely lunch in The Waveney Hotel in Beccles, which has a gorgeous seated area by the river and very acceptable food too. In the evening, I just headed home and cooked dinner for Mark and I.

Not much else happened this week. We went to see Histon FC win again last night (it's so predictable now!! hehe...), and am looking forward to celebrating their promotion into the Conference league this weekend!!! YAY! Actually... it will be the Blue Square Premier League next year, but that's just splitting hairs... they have done amazingly well for a tiny village's team!
We also managed to catch and "scare" the phantom pee spraying tom-cat last night that has been terrorising Mia and making our house smell like cat wee central... Mark frightened the pants off it, and dunked it in some cold water (didn't hurt it), but then he was awake most of the night racked with guilt as it looked so sad when he had done it! Perhaps he is softer than he thinks ;-)

I went to Addenbrookes yesterday re: my clicky jaw, and found out that I DON'T need surgery - hurrah! However, I may need to wear a gum shield in bed and at my desk at work, which will supposedly re-align my jaw.... how alluring! ;-) Robert also got some very good news re: a lump in his groin, which seems to not be as serious as he thought. Poor Sofie however has had some tests and found that she has an over-active thyroid, and MAY need surgery... fingers crossed she doesn't and it will be treatable by tablets. I am really looking forward to seeing her at the end of the month; she is coming over to Cambridge to stay for a few days with her Mum, so that should be a nice change of scenery for both of them. It's been a right week for medical matters!

Anyway... dinner with Emma tonight, including a run along the river bank... looking forward to it!! Lindsey contacted me this morning, and our misunderstanding is cleared up... thankfully. I just hope that she and Mark sort themselves out - or at least are happy without each other. Either way, I wish them both well. We also have a moving out date for Kurt, and Jez and Marta move back to Madrid next month, so it looks like life is looking up for them all too....

Hope you are all well...
Lots of love
Hayls

PS. BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nanny Hutcho who was 81... I mean 21... this week. And also, to Mark's dad John who was 71... err... 21 too.
