And I waited. So did a lot of other people at Gatwick’s North Terminal yesterday morning, for that matter. Fortunately though, not for too long, and a scant hour behind schedule I can happily report that I made it! The overnight snow in That London may have held things up a little, but interested parties [...]

Two-and-a-bit days in That London later and whilst it’s not really Proper Blogging time as yet, there’s never a bad time for an update! First and foremost, next Monday in Jersey is now almost fully booked (one afternoon appointment left at a stretch), and Thursday in Guernsey isn’t far behind; it seems that the natural [...]

The rail tickets (and see above), flight bookings, hotel confirmations and various bits and bobs for the next couple of months have today been carefully sorted into envelopes bearing the destination name (again, to anyone who wondered what we did with all the envelopes, see, they do get used!) and it’s been time to gradually [...]

After an otherwise spectacularly lazy week, as promised (for months – I know, I know) the new pictures are finally well on their way. I’ve taken some of them tonight and seeing as there’s still no sign of the specially-ordered lingerie I’ve been waiting for since November, it’ll be full steam ahead over the weekend [...]

Yay! As ever, we will have the traditional moment of reflection to think kindly of those unfortunate ladies who do not have annual birthdays, some only managing to clock one up once every ten years or more. It’s all terribly sad, in more ways than one. I am posting before bed but after midnight (so [...]

A few days decompressing later (helped along in no small part by a big Sunday lie in only curtailed by an all-consuming craving for sausage sandwiches at 1pm) and the now usual unpack-launder-top up-and-repack of the work suitcase is done; likewise the accounts, including the painstaking conversion from € to £ of every receipt for [...]

So the festivities are over, waving goodbye to Mini Tree done and back to the air and trainathon for me, my first stop over a week ago being Cork! An exciting journey indeed given that the weather on the Tuesday (upon noticing that there were no train breakdowns or plane delays to be getting on [...]

And that’s another one out of the way! I am taking a mini break from the ceremonial undressing of Mini Tree, given that he will be saying au revoir in a few days and returning to recuperate in his usual outdoor home for the next eleven months before returning for Christmas 2012 refreshed, invigorated and [...]

And whilst strictly speaking no creatures were stirring (least of all the fishes, who have been of no help whatsoever) at least one creature (me) has been peeling, chopping, mixing, trimming and stuffing for most of the afternoon prior to this evening’s eating, reading, watching and lying-on-the-settee. Tesco’s glorious bounty has arrived (sans the Thai [...]

And after a rip-roaring week in That London, there surely isn’t enough fun left in the world for me have any more without using up some of somebody else’s allocation, which would be not only appallingly rude, but terribly selfish. I have luxuriated snugly in my beautiful hotel room complete with the Best View Ever [...]
