Normal Stuff

It would be easy to get a picture of me living a life of illness because it is the illness that is the purpose of this blog, but that simply isn't the case.

The treatment has been ramped up and a quick glance at the blog's appointment page for August will give an immediate impression.

Despite that I still put in a decent working week,  being active everyday and making it into the office for parts of three of the five days.  On the other days I was grateful for extra time that he omission of travel affords and was able to focus on the more technical aspects of what I do.

This weekend I took Boogle ice-skating whilst Kitten took Huffty to his football. I have got Boogle back into  lessons, which she thoroughly enjoys and there is the added bonus that our normal ice rink, north of the river, is back open for business.  I think I may need to step up my exercise regime a little as I  was huffing and puffing in no time at all.

Yesterday we also all sat down as a family and watched a film encouraging chants of "Blu Ray, Blu Ray" from Huffty and I as we get in the spirit for today.  Although Kitten felt the addition of home cinema equipment to frivolous I think that she really enjoys it when we all sit down for a film.

The kids are out this morning with Kitten at a play area but Huffy and I will be Wembley bound with Notoplip and Sonic at lunchtime.  We are off to what is supposed to be the football season "curtain-raiser" Community Shield between Chelsea (Winners of the Premiership and FA Cup) against Manchester Utd (Premiership Runners-up).

This will be Huffty's first visit to Wembley though he has already been to Wales' Millennium Stadium for rugby internationals.
