Oh dear, all that effort getting my blog back up and running, and catching up, and here I am back in bad habits and not writing at least once a week. I could trawl out all the usual excuses, busy at work, busy rehearsing, got a cold, etc etc. Now all of those excuses do have some validity, but I should try harder.

Rehearsals have cranked up, I have rehearsed from 1pm to 76pm today, then there are rehearsals on Tuesday and Wednesday evening before three performances of Habeas Corpus from Thursday. Tricia and Ellie are coming to watch on Thursday, Deb and Carlos on Saturday, along with 13 people from work, all interested in seeing me getting slapped!

Tricia is doing well, the scar is less angry, although not as straight as she would like, but she is getting out and about, and will be looking to get back into some exercise this week. She has had an uncomfortable weekend though, having a bout of indigestion that seems to have lasted 3 days. It kept her awake for big chunks of Friday and Saturday night. It didn’t stop her getting out on Saturday though, with Rob she went off on a 9 mile hike, as they start getting ready for their Ben Nevis trip in July. She has been keeping the garden in good order, no heavy duty work, just some weeging and seeding.

Rob’s birthday today, he is 22…. He was at airsoft yesterday, he went off wearing armour… apparently he didn’t wear it all day, but I can’t think there are too many people who go to airsoft in armour! He has a new breastplate… and for his birthday we bought him a replica pike thing, which I am reliably informed is called a Halberd. We all went off to Nando’s last night for a meal. Ellie did Rob a birthday cake.

Having not long got rid of a cough and cold, I had started to get back into a good exercise routine, eating well etc etc… and blow me if I didn’t get another cold. I started feeling it coming on last Wednesday, and it is only just starting to clear. It’s not fair, where are the rules…. That is 4 this year and we have only just reached May. So I will be week away from the gym, it is a busy enough week as it is, and then gently back to it the week after.

After a season of mainly poor performances, West Ham have finally done enough to stay in the Premier League for another season 🙂
