Interested to hear Bush's criticisms of the Iraqi government for not sorting out problems in Iraq.A bit of a cheek I thought.

Gosh I ve been active this week. I have done: a Pilates Class, a Body Balance Class, Tai Chi, a yoga class (called Yoga Flow) and been swimming every day but one and spent some realxing time in the wet spa nearly every evening.

We did the most middle class and grown up thing we have ever done on Friday. We joined a health club. Not just any old one either. A very nice one with very smart facilities. Expensive too. We were amazed to discover we could afford it really but they had a number of deals on membership and as Nick has now given up smoking as well as me, we are ( Read more... )

I like this sort of random meme ( Read more... )

Its been ages since I've updated. Life was really mad at the end of term and then Len, Lola and Polly arrived and there's not really been time. Plus Rob is sleeping in my study where my computer is and that puts paid to early morning updates.In all however... I am now on holiday, lots of work to get done but time to do it before the start of next ( Read more... )
