Sorry about the short notice

The documentary about my tumour is now being shown on Monday 21st on C4 at 9pm, i.e. one week later that I was last told. I'm hoping to be in London for the screening party, and if so I'll be meeting up with the rest of the crew. I hope I'm working somewhere relatively nearby so that this can happen, as I've not seen them for ages.

Got a few other posts to write now; one serious, one less so. Might eat first and post later

The weekend that started with me driving from Bristol to Manchester via Cardiff

Friday
I was working in Bristol on Thursday and Friday and eventually hoping to meet up with rikrose, only to find out he wasn't getting there until Saturday. (Rik - we'll have to meet up some other time). I called my exhouse mate Helen for a chat, only to find out that she was visiting relatives in Cardiff and was due to return to Manchester that evening. Having not seen her for far too long (October/November ish) I decided to pick her up; it was only about a 90 mile detour :-) Had a lovely chat on the way up and it was great to catch up.

Saturday
Went out for evening drinks in Tarus with Charl and Lel and two others whose names escpae me. It's their commitment ceremony in two weeks - can't wait for it. *bounce* The Net had died for a vast proportion of the day due to some BT foul-up (http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=2095 and http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=2094 have the details)

Sunday
Was going to go flying, but was once again thwarted by weather. This surprised me because when I woke up it was wonderfully clear and bright and the cloud base was high up. What I didn't notice, being indoors, was that it was windy. Gusts of 20+KTS so it was cancelled. Next booking is for 3pm on Saturday 19th. Seems as though I've picked the wrong season for it.

At midday-ish I headed over to Mary's place to see her, Dan, Stu and Kevin. Talked for a bit and then Dan and I went for a pub lunch - originally this was to be at the Honey Bee (?) but we decided against it because of the drinks prices, settling instead for the Coach and Four. I intend to return there at some stage; the steaks were wonderful and not overdone like is often the case. Ate too mucha nd bloated a bit.

Came home and caught up on well overdue laundry. Was going to have dinner with Helen but she wasn't well so stayed in and had dinner cooked for me which was good.

Work tomorrow, and in the office thankfully, so not much of a drive. Not sure I am for the rest of the week though.
