Got up at 6.30 as awake. Had breakfast before walking suki as news more interesting. Bought map updates for tom tom which took over an hour to downloaf but very pkeased with price. £38 for 6 updates over next 18 months. Went to Chiswick after walk in southfields park. Ordered more certificates for middlesex and spent my £10 raffle prize voucher in posh deli on rustic bread, olives and posh quiche. Had bread and olives with Spanish cheese, serano ham and chorizo which I had brought back with me from Majorca. Walked suki in acton park in afternoon and met up with Lee and Emma. Then sorted out compost. Forgot to put gloves on and hit my fingers on side of bin while trying to mix the compost up with hoe. Washed all the food bins out which smelt foul after keeping food in them for 5 months. Made good inroads into paperwork today too. Went later to ringing as not in quarter. Apparently a good one of plain bob minor for Jackie. Didn't go to pub. Had glass of wine at home and uploaded photos of Majorca trip to Picasa. Google plus a nuisance and took me ages to get back to basic Picasa and find sharing options to allow contributors to upload photos. They have messed around with Gmail too and now get small pop up box for replies and compose which is fiddly and difficult to use. Margaret Thatcher died today.
Wednesday 3rd December
It was lovely having a houseful this morning. Sam said the futons were comfortable, which is good to know. I took Suki for a walk and then went to Westfields with Lorraine, Sam, Amanda and Bethany. We went to the food court so that the others could get something to eat, and I bought a couple of wraps from the Lebanese stall for lunch - a falafel one and a halloumi and olive one. I went home once they started shopping as there was not much I needed. We shared the wraps, having half of each one each. They were excellent and very filling. I took Suki out again in the afternoon and then we went off to Baden Powell House for Goldsmiths rehearsal. We got baguettes from Pauls again, and I also took a flask of coffee as it was the final, long rehearsal tonight. We got home quite quickly on the tube and I finished off the coffee and had a sake before going to bed and watching another episode of Doc Martin. Rather annoyingly this one didn't follow on from...
