Kids Pizza Party

Just went to Bluewater for a neighbours son's birthday party. He turned 5 years old today. I remember when he first met Alyssa he promised to look after her and beat up anyone who messed with her! He's such a lovely kid. It was ashame that he had a cold today so he didn't really get in to the spirit of his party. His mum had organised a lovely party at Pizza Express where the kids could make their own pizza. I had some dough balls, and the went down perfectly. So another food to add to the list I can eat. Also noticed that they do adult make your own pizza parties in case any of you are interested.

Met up with Rodney whilst at the party and went for a.....yep you guessed it, a Starbucks. I think I might have had too much coffee today though as I had 2 lattes in 2 hours. Managed also to do my yoga today. It was the first time I have tried since the op. I couldn't quite finish all the exercises and I found it much harder than before the op. I think having my stomach in my chest cavity makes it a little harder to breath deeply. On the plus side, no one can punch in the stomach anymore! May be I'll become a street fighter....or may be not.

My massager is going to turn up later today, looking forward to plugging it in and relaxing. In fact I've been doing a lot of relaxing today. First of all there was yoga, then I chilled out and listened to some music and finally I started a new book by Jefferey Archer called False Impression. I've never read any of his books before. The first 20 pages have been amazing and I'm sure the rest of the book will continue at the same pace. I'm not sure what people think of J Archer as an author, I bought it because I was hoping for a well written and slightly more complex novel to read. I had just finished Scared Stone by Clive Cussler, which is an extremely fast paced book, but the detail wasn't there. It was a nice easy read, although a little long. Does anyone have any recommendations for music albums? At the moment I'm listening to Guns and Roses and some mixed RnB. I think I might dig out my old Police albums.

For anyone who is interested, James somebody who does lots of cooking on Ready Steady Cook is signing his book on the 20th at Waterstones in Bluewater.

I've been losing a little weight each week and I really need to turn it around before the Chemo and Radio starts. I've bought my self a blueberry muffin and hoping that it will go down without too many problems. As I may have mentioned before, after my surgery I produce too much insuline, which caused serious food coma after I eat. So I have to down some sugar each time I eat. I 'borrowed' some sugar from Pizza Express and keep it in my pocket for emergencies. I feel like cracking open a bottle of wine, watching a cool movie and listening to music. I haven't had the courage to try alcohol as yet. Who knows how it is going to effect me, I might become even more of a light weight! Or the alcohol might just rush through me and not effect me at all.

Has anyone seen and good offers for laptops? I need to get another one, preferably widescreen with a reasonable battery life. I've yet to see a laptop below the £200 mark. Wonder how long before they get that cheap. The cd drive has died on this laptop so I can't watch my movies on it anymore.


Apologies for waffling on. Hope you managed to get to the end of this. May be I learn a thing or two from Jeffery Archer. I think his average chapter is 4 pages long. Oh, looks like Shirin and Alyssa are feeling a lot better. Fingers crossed they will be well tomorrow.
