A 39th, 80th and a Blue Mango!

Hello Bloggettes,

Well its been a few days since I graces you with my presence eh? (Hurrah goes the cry from the nation!) But I am back again (with the renegade master?)

Sorry this is short (another round of applause all round!) but my PC is being repaired tomorrow and I have to pack it all up tonight….So am trying to finish as much of the Transplant News magazine I edit which I still have a PC!

So how are we all? I had the dubious joy of watching Hednesford Town actually win a game, had my first ever filling (but the dentist was a babe so I didn’t mind), did some stuff at the BBC and Walsall Council and went to a 39th and an 80th b’day do.

Well if that isn’t busy I’m a Dutchman…..Well ok, my ancestors DID actually come from Holland so I suppose it’s a bad example!

At Walsall, as well as the lovely Tony, Dan and Hannah I was working with a girl called Eve on Friday – whose friend actually had a double lung transplant three weeks ago. Strange but true!

I have a lovely mother-and-daughter film crew visiting tomorrow to do something different (which should be fun!)

I am practising for a kind of mini triathlon thing at Cannon’s.

It is where you can do it any day but have to do each event in succession with basically no breaks– 8km on bike, 5km on crosstrainer, etc etc….But I only have five weeks left to train.

But I went on Saturday in a very positive state of mind, but forgot that I take a once weekly drug on Saturday mornings which leaves me lethargic for a couple of hours.

So I actually did LESS that I normally so….At least I felt a bit better by the time I got to the pool so did a few lengths (ooer) and hit the sauna! I actually had the pool to myself, which is a rare luxury!

I found out the good looking girls from the yoga class actually go to one on Tuesday mornings….and, guess what, I am not working this Tuesday morning….idea brews.

Went out for Sarah K’s bday in Brum on Saturday night. Went to a restaurant called Blue Mango – expensive but nice – and hung out with the beautiful people (posers) at The Bank (a cocktail bar) and some bars near The Mailbox….

At the BM we had a gorgeous Eastern European waitress and a sour-faced Asian one.....Guess which one we gave a tip to children!

I woke up in Great Barr (a place, not a description!) and had to drive home because I was due at a due in Sudbury (Derbyshire) Sunday lunchtime…..hence I’m knackered.

What other news? I have a Korean friend coming to visit in October, which I am fairly excited about……Better practice my cooking or she won’t stay long!

Tootle Pip!
