The procedure was a total bastard and hurt like hell and boy am I glad its all over....for now atleast. Ah... back to work...what pleasure! And then just five minutes into my day and I was grinding the enamel off my teeth.
It is so good to be back...

Hard to believe it is almost summer. The clocks go forward in the middle of tonight.
'An hour's less sleep' my parents and grandparents used to say. I never quite figured that out. It never felt any different back then, and still doesn't now. Mind you, I'm always tired these days so an hour here or there won't make a huge difference.

Tomorrow is also Mothers day here in the UK and tonight we take my Mother out to dinner. She thought it would be nice to go out on a Saturday night...so that's what we are doing. Rather foolishly (perhaps?) she also left the choice of restaurant to us. She had dropped some pretty big hints about the kind of meal she would like, but the range of options was wide and encompassed Thai, Chinese, Indian and Italian food. Not much to choose from in London then?
Well there are plenty of restaurants to choose form but most of them laughed hysterically when I caled to try and make a dinner reservation.
'Oh my dear you need to call a few weeks in advance for a Saturday night' one smirked 'you might prefer to come along in the week...seeing as you are obviously new to dining out' Cheeky bugger! Mind you we don't go and to eat that often.

Holiday? What holiday?

Five minutes after our holiday and it is but a distant dream...Reality has a funny way of kicking all the doors in and huffing and puffing through even the thickest of walls.

I'm in the midst of a health scare - made worse by the fact that the doctors are calling me to check how I'm doing...always a scary sign when they start calling you!

I am on a seven day pre-op prep, with surgery scheduled for next week. The prep is far more scary than the op itself - I'll be in lala land for that bit...sadly the prep has to be faced though and I am planning on being a big brave soldier. Reality says I'll be a quivering snivelling wreck just two hours into the final two day run up - but I know you can keep a secret, so nobody needs know eh?

Wil be back to the blog when I emerge the other side of this little drama...meantime I will be furiously editing the novel MS. I want to release it by June....in time for my Mother's birthday.

As they say - whoever they are - watch this space...
