That was a weekend that was...
Oct. 18th, 2004 05:10 pmSo many many things...
Friday: Saw No1 client in local offices in Reading. If what we talked about comes off it'll make something of a splash in the news. Can't say more. Then travelled to Herts to see Mum, who had forgotten we were coming. Dragged us off to a "do" at the Con Club, including a talk by a Tory MP. I managed to keep my mouth shut most of the evening. The problem is the MP for Broxbourne, Dame Marion Roe, has announced her intention to stand down at the next election, and as one of the safest Tory seats in the UK the vultures are massing. Some of them were there that night - most unpleasant. Marion is a damn good constituency MP and will be a really tough act for anybody to follow. Drank too much...
Saturday: Again with Mum, this time we went to the Sutera Town Twinning meal. M has never believed me when I tell her that I come from an area with a huge Scilian population. Well, she does now. We had a pretty mamoth Scilian banquet which ended badly with me breaking a tooth :(
Sunday: Went to see my brother, and went to dinner with his 3 daughters (7,3,1) - Apparently Pizza Express is the place to go with kids. Now I know that, I'll avoid it. Sunday afternoon, I took M for her birthday present. An evening at the Nirvana Spa followed by a night in a 4* hotel. The spa was great, very very pleasant.
Today: Dentist. I haven't cracked the tooth, it's just part of the old tooth I had to have a root canal done in. The Dentist thought I'd be ok without a crown, but he'll have to do one now. Fortunately it looks fine apart from the bit that sheared off and he can do a proper crown next week.
This week: Tuesday, in the office. Wednesday, on a plane. Thursday/Friday - Seattle. Saturday - home.
