So after weeks of vague inactivity, this weekend has been a real mixed bag of activity - all of them pleasurable, I haste to add. Very nice!
Friday I actually made my way in to London in the morning as I had planned - didn't get sidetracked! OK I messed up setting the breadmaker and Iain had lousy sandwiches, and in the end Chris couldn't meet me in time for dinner so I ate my take-out from Wasabi on my own and brought most of it home for Iain ... BUT, all that aside, I made it in to London pretty easily, decided to go to Birkbeck and look up the Reformation and also Scott Mandelbrote's paper on Newton & Thomas Burnet (I did both) and I thought I would plan and write a bit for the summer papers - I did some planning, but no real writing, but hey, it's a start! The summer papers sound great to me! I really need to get some work done.
Friday night was the Early Modern Society film night and we watched Luther (Joseph Fiennes in it ... looking great despite the haircut ... and NOT looking like Luther at all, ever - he never gets fat ......) It was a very enjoyable film though, pretty to look at and funny. I enjoyed it, and had Chris for company, hadn't seen him in a while.
When I got home Iain's wall-conversion project was already well underway which was very reassuring.
Saturday we watched the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix qualifying from about 6:30 am - we taped it in the early hours when it was live ... It was exciting and eventful. This should be a good season. Then Iain drove me to Cheshunt, I visited Tanyapa who was at a posh school there chaperoning and supporting 3 kids as part of the Model United Nations stuff she does. It was SO nice to see her and hang out all day. Brilliant. She was so excited about Lambykins, and had plenty of interesting things to say. We hung out and chatted, and though the school lunch was dire, when we went back to her hotel, we had a nice snack of chips and a cheese platter - the kitchen found cheese I can eat. It was all good. Iain joined us before too long, and then we went on to Jo & Jay's house for Jo's 30th Birthday party. It was a really nice night, lots of JM people, it was so much fun to have people to talk to face to face, having been alone most of the time fir so long. Becca and Tara were there, and Jo and Jay had made a huge effort to ensure I could eat almost everything there which was so considerate of them, I was very touched. I felt sooooo sick in the car, but was ok on solid ground!
Today, Sunday, we git up a bit later, watched the Grand Prix that we'd taped overnight, it was a good race, and I got a lot of rest this afternoon - I was extremely tired after the two long days I'd had. Mamma and Abba came over with Boro Phuppu who arrived today, they brought bhuna gosht (yess!!!) and rice and dhaal and stuff. Very nice meal. Phuppu says she's going to cook while she's here! Brilliant!!!
Abba also brought me the diabetes tester thing, so I can get going whenever I want ....
I have managed, once again to set the breadmaker wrongly ... darn. I hope the bread that just came out of the machine is ok, at least edible.
Well, tomorrow we go for our scan bright and early! I hope hope hope hope Lambykins is ok!!!
