In Other News...

... had a late lunch at Rosso (food wasn't good) with Glynis and DD (company excellent). DD and myself later made our way to the Lass O'Gowrie (it's a pub) where we saw a fringe festival production called "Suspended in Space". It was a nice idea but badly written and, for the most part, poorly executed. The premise was a sci-fi convention where three people get stuck in a lift: a bit part actor from a long defunct series (in a home made costume - because they wouldn't let him keep the original), the star of the same series since fallen on hard times and one of the geeky nerds from the conference who is beside himself at finding himself in a lift with the other two.  The latter actor was quite good, the others less so. Back stories emerged over the course of the play whilst they are stuck in the lift but they're not good or clever enough to be particularly interesting or challenging.  Shame.  Glad to be supporting local (aspiring) talent though.  There were 14 other people in the audience.  Bless :-)

We then had a couple of cocktails at The Palace Hotel where the service was vastly improved from the last time we were there 2 years ago.  Aaaaaah, the memories: DD, Damon.... It was then back to DD's for cheeses and taters: my new favourite meal.

Have a Macmillan meeting later today followed by complimentary drinks and canapés at Restaurant Bar & Grill as they launch their summer menu and then am on the helpline.  Busy man, busy times.  Tomorrow is rather more gentle with just the cinema (After Earth) in the evening with my friend, the angel, Gillian. That's all for now.  J x

Oh update, mother still not had chemotherapy yet as her blood count hasn't risen enough. She's got a scan today (CT I think) and then an MRI (tomorrow?) and sees her oncologist on Monday.  She's hoping they'll say she doesn't need any more chemo and can go straight onto radiotherapy.  Fingers crossed.
