Thursday night: to Dimitris (where else?) to celebrate la DD's birthday. She was there, resplendant as ever along with her posse (does she ever travel without them?). Including a new model type. Very pretty. Although I notice we only got his box in the newspaper... (answers on a postcard to Keith Chegwin...)
Friday and the physiotherapy reassessment went very well (although exhausting). I'd improved in all categories (did you doubt it even for a minute?) and even broke a few records. Must have been helped by the very attractive young intern from Stoke who was just along to help out!
Friday also and the Aged P's et leurs amis sont arrivent. Their rooms (or should I give them their proper titles, their executive suites) are tres belles (they were on offer though). Since they are staying in executive suites they have access to the executive lounge which is on the 23rd floor next to the bar. Except you don't have to queue. Nor do you have to suffer the hoi polloi. And pre dinner drinks from 5 till 8 are free. Yes, you read it here first. Free alcohol. Needless to say the Aged Ps are in seventh heaven and vowing never to stay with me again. Took them on a walking tour of Manchester's Xmas lights (v impressed natch) and then dropped them off at Livebait for their dinner. Everyone had had an exhausting day so I didn't come back into town to meet them after dinner (mine was pureed bombay potatoes - yum, followed by vanilla youghurt and a paracetomol). Watched unanimous (what a bunch of bastards they all are) and then went to bed. Having taken my ibuprofen at 2130 last night I slept until 0730 this morning. 10 hours without painkillers. That's the longest I've been for about a year which was very encouraging.
Shopping today but I'll update you on that tomorrow... J x

Hello Aged P's and thankyou for the Xmas Card. Mark and I have been doing our 'wrapping paper and baubles audit' this morning (Sat 9th) so Xmas cards will be winging there way across the country soon.
Very much looking foward to our New Year Panto fest. I see the Leicester Panto was one of the picks of the season in the Independent. Let's hope Ms Debris doesn't let us down.
Hello Everyone else in Blog Land. Apologies for my abscence. No excuse, it's just I've got hold a new Petula Live CD and, well ...
And on the Ms Debris front... guess who's playing Mrs O in Acorn Antiques? Give up? Ms Debris's sister... (aka Ria Jones who used to be best friends and best enemies with Ms Z-J when they were growing up in Swansea together and competing for all the best parts in the local am dram). Now all we need is her mother and father in Snow White and we'll have the complete set! J x P.S. No-one missed you.
