Hi All
Hope you all enjoyed the sunshine today.
I've had a lovely & very busy day off - depression seems to have lifted from Dom and slightly more perspective has set in which is a relief.
Started this morning with a banana & an apricot together with some water and was in the gym by 9:30 (so keen today!)
Afterwards popped in to M&S for some, fruit, milk, juice etc. - remembering that after Sunday it'll just be Andrew & me at home. It's always a strange feeling having no kids at home but like having an extra bit of holiday too :)
Munched some grapes and the other apricot on the way to the deli where I picked up my order & restocked my smoked salmon supply - LOL!
Got home & had a much needed post-gym shower - very sweaty today - did my hair and hung out the washing I'd just done as well as the washing from yesterday that was spread out over the house (it's all dry now!)
Then of I went again (said it was busy) took Dom with me this time. He took my glasses in & picked up the ones that were ready so I can see properly again now :) & then I took him to Ruislip for a hair cut.
Finally I drove to Daisy's in the Park (in Pinner park) to meet my friend, Karen, who I hadn't actually seen since my birthday party last October!! Where does the time go??
We had lunch there sitting outside - I had a mackerel, beetroot and new potato salad. It was delicious but probably quite a few sins because it was (unexpectedly as it didn't say on the menu) smoked mackerel & I forgot to ask for dressing on the side, but other than olives with dinner that's all my sins for today. I had a black coffee (actually 2!) while we chatted. It was great to catch up & the cafe in the park is lovely BUT..........if I were running it I'd find a different way of taking orders as it slows up the service incredibly - we weren't in a harry but if we were it would have been hopeless!
Anyway, went home afterwards & did my chores - hung out more washing, made beds, changed towels etc., and watched the tennis. And Murray won again but can't say it was a fabulous match - still a win is a win :)
And Dom & Andrew had gone to 'hit golf balls' so I got to watch without interference or additional commentary - always a bonus although the commentary on Sky is truly appalling :-(
Dinner tonight was roast duck (Dom's favourite) with runner beans and broccoli with a few olives and some pickled cucumber - sparkling spring water (berry flavour) to drink and strawberries for dessert.
It was delicious if I say so myself & now I'm going have a short chill in front of the TV.
Cannot believe that tomorrow I'll have been blogging for 90 days - truly miraculous!!
Thanks again for your support.

PS: Tomorrow we are going to see 'Top Hat' in Milton Keynes - weird you might say but it's a touring production and we know the producer (he plays golf with Andrew). It's a black tie performance and afterwards there's a cast party. The cast includes Tom Chambers (ex-Holby City, Strictly Come Dancing champion etc.) & Summer Strallen (was in Love Never Dies) - I'm a bit excited!! Also for the first time in ages I have two dresses that will fit me & I'm not stressing about what to wear - nice feeling :-)
It's touring all over the country so in case you are interested http://www.tophatonstage.com/about/
