There is something to be said about having a cleaner. It makes you a much tidier person because you don’t want the cleaner thinking you’re a slob when they come around to… errr… clean????

I’ve got a doctors appointment today at 9:40, and also have to pick up a package around the corner at the post-office (because they have such shitty hours)… so I decided I should stay at home for a few hours while I wait until 8:45 to leave. This is all fine and well, however… I should have brought my laptop home from work as I have a mountain of kak to do and no time to do it in! So here I sit writing for my blog instead. Odd nah???

It’s not very often that I write something on my website, but when I do get around to it, it’s usually because something weird, odd, exciting or just plain fabtastic has happened to me. This is one of those moments, and I thought it something that I should probably put down in writing.

A little background I suppose is in order.
Since approximately the beginning of December, maybe even mid-November… Bryan and I haven’t had a weekend to ourselves. A weekend where you do nothing. A weekend where you just sit back and do nothing. You see, over the past few weeks we’ve been tourists around London (Tim), tourists in Edinburgh (Tim), Christmas with friends and family, moving house (!), tourists in London (Gillian) again and other general running about setting up a new flat, as you do!

So why the background… why am I even bothering to tell you all this… well!!!
This weekend, Bryan and I got our wish. A weekend where we did absolutely nothing! Relaxy Relaxy! The most stressful thing that I did last weekend was to make an Almond biscuit and Raspberry Coulis Whip desert, Onion seasoned chicken wrapped in bacon with an orange reduction sauce on a bed of mash and mange-tout… started off with a broccoli soup.
Yes… I love cooking!

So that was on Saturday. On Sunday we went to Carnaby Street and dropped off Bryan’s phone and then headed off to the city to a cinema where they were showing Chariots of Fire. We were tempted to go in, but just sat in a wine bar across the road which was FULL of gay-boys. It was a very nice place.

So… back to work on the Monday. I’m doing back-up stuff at the moment and it’s a little time consuming, but so be it!

We’ve also booked our holidays to South Africa in April. It’s going to be a fabulous holiday. Kruger Park, Cape Town, Pretoria and a party at my parent’s place! A good time! I suspect I’ll send an invite out on Facebook and get a whole load of people around! This’ll be Bryan’s first time in Africa, so I can’t wait to see what his reaction is going to be. It’s such a differant world down there, and so many things can shock and scare you, but I’m sure he’ll be fine and enjoy every moment of it. I know I will. I’ve never been to the Kruger, and it’s been years since I went to Cape Town, so it’s going to be an experience for me as well.

I’m also back at the gym (sort-of). I need to get back into it now that I hav a ate for when I’m going to SA. I seriously need to loose this tyre that’s forming around my belly… but it’s gonna take a lot of work I think. Perhaps I should get a personal trainer.

Right… I’m off to go and eat some carrots!
Love to you and yours…
