New Year party

Now that I live in a house rather than a flat, my place of residence is a lot more conducive to gatherings. What I'm trying to say is
You're invited to a new year's party at my place, starting any time after 8pm
I know, I know, it's early. This means that you have the potential to attend two new years parties if you wish ;-)

Contact details at: http://matthewp.livejournal.com/info#contact

Food will be served around 9pm, but please also bring something snacky (e.g. kettle chips, pringles 'n' dips etc.) or a bottle. Bring a guest or two if you want. Crash space for a few can be provided. I'm aiming for a max of 15-20 people over the evening.

Please let me know whether you intend to come (+ any guests), whether you want feeding (and give brief details of your eating habits) and whether or not you want crash space. Answers are non-committal; you're free to change your mind and delete your responses as you see fit. This is just so that I have an idea of numbers. I'll post periodic referencs to this post throughout the remaining weeks.

Raar

I love phone calls like this. I've just had a call from a friend Cath wholived in Manchester a couple of years ago and we did sign language together. Shemovedback to Canada, but is back in the country for a while. We've arranged to meet up on Monday night. I'm looking forward to catching up; so much has changed and I'm already feeling strangely nostalgic.

In other news I'm up and about today. I even ventured out last night for drinks with people and have a great time. I've so missed going out. I'm still hobbling, but the pain is pretty much under control so it's going as well ascan be expected.

Meep. Operation date booked

A different phonecall this tim, from a nurse acting on behalf of my surgeon. They've got the results back of the histology and are operating this coming Tuesday. (I'm to go in at1pm on the Monday before, which means that my drinks with Cath have to be cancelled... grrrr). I'll be kept in for 5 days and then home for the weekend assuming no complications. Op put back one week. See http://www.livejournal.com/users/matthewp/166451.html

Thank you so much, everyone, for your wonderful support. I do appreciate it, even if it doesn't always seem that way.
