No Word...

... from the hospital yet but it is only Monday.

A particularly wet Monday which has meant that the guttering for the flat above me has overflowed (the down pipe isn't big enough for Manchester-level rain volumes) and so have been mopping up somewhat where it leaks in through the doors onto the terrace.  Only happens with truly biblical downpours though.

Nevertheless Ma & Pa ventured out to Sainsburys in search of provisions and the Times crossword.  Mother was even double-anoracked.  Something I have never witnessed before.  I have a photograph but still lack the ability to transfer photos onto here.

Had a bad night, Saturday and a not good morning on Sunday.  But I drained my pleura Sunday afternoon (50ml) and feel much better for it.  Slept through last night and painkiller consumption is noticeably down today.

Bryn & Michelle popped in on Sunday and good to see them as ever.  Sounds like New York planning is going right to the wire and that as a result accommodation discounts are likely to be high.  No decisions yet from Denise as to whether she goes or not.  No visitors today but a team member coming tomorrow evening.

Denise still enjoying Sri Lanka but they have a bit of on-off monsoon there too I believe.

Getting a little bored now but was forbidden from leaving the flat today for the walk to Sainsburys.  Hopefully will be allowed out tomorrow and eventually for the walk into town to meet people for coffee.  Have the Lowry on Saturday (Cabaret with Will Young as the emcee) and MEN on Sunday (Jesus Christ Superstar - good review in The Times today) so need to start building up some strength soon...  That's all.  J x

Hurrah! Finally worked out how to bypass old details and to be able to post:)

Definitely need to get you out and about despite the hideous weather. I too am looking forward Cabaret on Saturday and will be on hand to drive. (May practice a little first in your car so as not to overly scare you...)

And I do promise to wear just the one coat no matter what the weather does.

Weather also atrocious on the south coast. We installed two water butts yesterday and they are already full.

Glad that Theatre trips abound; how well I recall seeing JCS with yr Ma and Pa at the Colliseum - fab.

Off to Greece next week. Hoping for sun.
