Days 193 to 4pm on day 195 - Thurs to Sat pm

Hi all

Sorry to to write but life has been very hectic over the last couple of days - nothing bad just busy.

Thursday I was at a conference at the RPS in Lambeth - quite interesting and, for once, food wasn't too bad. I had been and veg soup (SW dieters dream!!) with two quarter sandwiches and some fruit salad with lots of black coffee and water during the day. After the conference I went to mum & dad's so I could take dad to see the 'prostate man' in the evening. Was supposed to be going on the tube but station was closed so went on number 12 bus to Oxford Circus - really nice ride and got to see the lights in Regents Street which are gorgeous - Arthur Christmas is the theme :) Anyway I digress, got the tube to mum & dad and was reminded of my youth as I always got the tube to Redbridge Station - couldn't tell you the last time but it is such an easy journey.
Took dad to see consultant & it was good news (for once) - all signs are that prostate problems are benign and all he needs are tablets to help pee less & empty better (if you get my drift) - such a relief. Mum isn't great but I felt she seemed a bit better on Thursday - but we'll have to wait and see what consultant says on Tuesday.
Took tube home (left car at West Ruislip so had to travel entire length of Central line to get home) - journey was ok but had to wait quite a long time for train at Redbridge. By the time I got home I was so tired I just had a drink and went to bed!

Yesterday was similarly hectic - Tobz to school, gym, butcher, Tesco & deli  all before 1pm :) Then home to make chicken soup, get dinner ready and then collect boys from various places. Have to say its a bit of a blur as I'm not feeling great today but I kept to the plan - of that I'm sure.

Woke up quite early this morning with chesty cough & a throat that feels swollen not sore but quite weird :(
Andrew had decided to take Tobz to football & to stay & watch so Dom and I decided not to go to shul and had a very lazy morning. Made myself a nice breakfast of corn thins with smoked salmon (3) and smoked roe (3) with three sticks of celery and a black coffee.
For lunch we had more chicken soup and I had a portion of the boiled chicken with some baby beetroot.
I've had lots to drink today to try and keep headache at bay although not terribly successfully :(

Shortly we are going into town to meet friends for a pre-theatre drink and then off to see 'One Man & Two Guvnors' with James Cordon - cant wait as its supposed to be hilarious and I definitely need something light-hearted. After the theatre we are off to Soho House for dinner (always lovely) so hoping for a lovely evening.

Hope your weekend is fun.
Love
