It's been too long!

Hello,

I'm still here, how are you all?

The week has been spent essay writing and a little pottery doing. I have felt up and down probably in equal measure.

Have had a very enjoyable day today. After lying in for too long, I had a frantic rush to get ready to go on a retreat day put on by Church. My beauty's Dad arrived early which was good but she was still a little reluctant for me to go. Made it in one piece and settled in for the day. The surroundings were beautiful, the food and plentiful cake delicious, the company and time to be with God was fantastic. Thank you to those who put the day together.

From there I bombed back to Reading to pick up my PC friend for her birthday "date"! First to the cafe Madras, a south india curry house that looks a bit like a brightly lit 70's fast food chain but everyone was most welcoming. Chillis seemed to lurk in every item and bite if you weren't careful but our heads remained sufficiently on to enjoy dessert too. Then we moved onto Reading's smallest theatre to be thoroughly hooked in to a rather disturbing and extremely thought provoking production of Blackbird by David Harrower.With just two actors it all seemed rather poorly acted to start with but it soon became apparent why when the story unfolded. Can't tell you any more than that, it would spoil it. It came with the warning - not suitable for children - so I'll leave you to imagine what the content may have been. No interval, just 90 mins of full on mind mess. Extremely well done.

How could we follow that, well a swift half or two down the local before heading home - thank you my lovely PC friend for a great evening and very Happy Birthday for Tuesday.

Now trying to get my head round packing for Disneyland Paris and whether I will have the zing to do it justice. Mickey Mouse here we come!!

That's it, be good, see you soon
