Hi - thanks for all your good wishes. Just had word from my Dad that she's had a good night's sleep, her BP has stabilised and is being transferred into a normal ward. That's a good sign. All your good wishes have helped, I'm sure.
As for support crew plans - have you got room for one more? I'm in negotiations on accommodation for Saturday night and if that can be sorted, I reckon I'm going to just jump onto a plane and head on over...
WOOO HOOOO!!!! (for coming to london and for your mum being "back to herself")
Mrs OO has bookked the theatre Saturday night. Thanks for the tip off DV, I'll avoid Charing Cross
Theatre shouldn't start until 7ish...plenty of time for a quick pasta beforehand
MEETING SPOT: seems is semi set for 9-9.15ish at Canada water tube. Otherwise we'll be approx 200m along the route from Rotherhithe overground, before the big roundabout.
RS - I thought I had taken it as low as it should go....? Obviously not.
Can't get to London on Sunday so I have done the next best thing. I have entered the Turriff Sprint Triathlon. It's a wee market town in rural Banffshire. Bit of a contrast to London... I'll be thinking of everyone competing that day. But more importantly i'll be thinking of the volunteers and spectators that make these events so special. All too easy to take them for granted as we battle against the stopwatch. Not any more.
Just done a quick cycle before breakfast. The heavens opened! I got 'fair drookit', as they would say in Turriff. (Rather wet)
35281 Roger Cousin....he is hoping for about 4.5, he will be in All Pink for breast cancer care...frock, tights wig the lot...madman , raising stacks, well done him. I have told him you will be out in force. He is a mate of Howeyz,s who is going to be supporting, so might meet up with you too.
Simon - Loving the fact you feel you have to explain the lingo!! Good luck with the triathalon.
Torrential rain here now, again, too....and gale force winds forecast for later. No acitvities planned for later, apart from walking around for a few hours, because I have root canal treatment to look forward too.
I still have a nagging temptation to pop down to that there Larnden, and free accomodation of any description certainly fans the flames of temptation, but there's no free parking or similar is there?
There's parking out the back of mine. You'd be on the air bed in the lounge though and I'm south so would be a pain from leeds...if that's actually where you live...

Most people just have nagging wives...
Go on. Come. You know you want to.
I'm not going to lie - If I was given the option of sharing a bed with MM - I wouldn't be contemplating it... i'd be down there in a shot

Nice to hear that your son is on the mend D, and your mum sound like she us getting much better MM.
Enjoy London x

Didn't yer_maj once have to get a lad with a strimmer to tidy hers up?
Danirr - it's good to hear that your son is getting better
MM - Great news about your mum
Weedy - I agree with you about distance. There are times when I feel very alone but Skype and phone calls always help.
Kaz - I had the same question as RS - how's the ickle one?
Bloody heck DLR.........
RS - He's lots better thanx. He had cut his paw, but BF being as blind as he is(and refusing to admit the fact) couldn't see it!!
Oh how we could descend into a pit of depravity with bush jokes today...
Maus and Dan.. that's great news that they are on the mend...
Skype is superb for closing the gap... I use it a lot... even just with my children within the house...!
Dannirr... that garden needs a lot of looking after....!
Something rather more 'industrial' was required.....
Just spotted there were several pages I'd somehow missed before this one (I just saw 'bush' and looked no further...).
MM & Dan - great news on the continuing recoveries!

I love it when you talk dirty.
And that's not helping.
This is getting interesting... so.. Emmy is in bed with Maus... and she is going 'down there'...
*pulls up a chair, get a beer and some pringles and awaits further developments..*
Snort!!!!!
Morning all
DV, budge over a bit
Right.. that's my coffee all over the keyboard
