Easter Break

A 10 day clinical trial check on Saturday morning precludes a journey away this weekend.

Even so, it will be great to spend some decent time with the family.

Whilst I have been getting myself working from home, Kitten has been doing her chores outside the house in order to give me space.

I've done a lot more this week than perhaps I should but it means that I now have environment where all possibilities can be accommodated going forward.

The kids have been off since Wednesday afternoon and they spent that afternoon and all day Thursday at the local theme park - We're getting good value for our annual passes and the kids are having fun!  Yesterday was one of Notoplip's son's 2nd birthday so that will have added an extra dimension to their day.

There was some good news for another friend "Mr Baboon" yesterday who's baby was born premature a couple of weeks ago.  Baby is doing very well and should be home in a couple of weeks - RAAAAA (he will understand that reference).

I will be taking each day as it comes this weekend but hoping the weather is good so we can all get out and about.

I'm still feeling good and the only negative thing to report is that, despite eating like a horse over the last few days, I have lost a few pounds.  I now weigh 11st and I was hoping to build myself up to 11 and a half pre-op but that looks less likely now.   I'm enjoying my food so I will keep eating and also start to introduce some exercise again.

Since the City outdoor rink closed in early March "Boogle" and I haven't been ice-skating.  Our regular venue on the other side of  London is currently being reconstructed and may not be open for a few weeks.

In the meantime I will look to walking (assuming that the weather improves) and I may buy a bike so that I can strike out a little.  Unfortunately, I am not feeling fit enough to start training for my four mile running race against "Super Frank" yet.  I hear that he is suffering with his knees a the moment, so by the time I get to him he may be completely crocked.

There seems to be a few Easter Eggs around the house and I don't think that the kids should eat them all - YUM. 

As a final note, today could signal the end of an era in our house.  I am thinking of taking down my record decks in the "Music Room" (which looks more like a kids play room), so that the kids have somewhere for themselves.  I haven't DJed for over a year and don't intend to, so it makes sense but there are still a good few memories there.
