Scanxiety over!!

New to this? Check out the First Post

Hello
I am very pleased to say that I had a phone call from the Specialist Nurse June the other evening and she said that my latest scan was all-clear - everything is fine so nothing to worry about! This is very good news :-) It was just 12 months since my last one so good to know nothing has popped up again. I certainly feel healthy - but then I did when this all started!

So I can relax and get on with life. Here I am again in my other office - The Lymestone Vaults. I come here on so many Wednesday afternoons with my laptop I feel like I should be paying them rent! Nathan is here doing his school apps on his laptop and they have some chilled-out jazz on in the background and very nice Two Trees Perry at the bar. It is great :-)

More rum vicar??

On Friday I had my first proper haircut since my hair actually grew back. It was looking like a big bush so needed some taming. The lovely Laura from Wolstanton did a great job of thinning it out with her razor cutting and has given me a quite funky haircut! In fact I insisted that Nathan took me out that night since I'd had my hair done. We sauntered into town and had some rather tasty Spanish food at Hector Garcia's. N had the paella and I tried the lemon Cajun chicken which was just gorgeous. Then we went somewhere we've been meaning to go to for quite some time - the rum bar above Revolution. Downstairs it's all about vodka - but upstairs they have Revolucion de Cuba which serves only rum and rum-based cocktails!

Funky hair :-)

 We are both a partial to a bit of Sailor Jerry or Captain Morgan's so we thought we'd try a selection of flavoured rums to start with. Not really convinced that they are the way forward (that's a Nathan saying :-) they were a bit sweet. Then we tried the cocktails that they serve in teapots. There was a choice of four - we went for Madhatter one with Mount Gay, Bacardi Superior and Bacardi 8 Year Old rums with passion fruit, vanilla and pineapple juice.. It was fantastic!! Definitely recommend it :-) Shame I was working the next morning or we might have stayed for more. It was a fun  place actually - the music was good and people were up and dancing.



In other news - we have put the poster we bought at Platform nine and three quarters, Kings Cross, up in the office. For extra effect we've put it above the fireplace - next to the Floo Powder :-) 

Magical Office





 


Now the weather is almost summer-like we have been trying to make the back yard look colourful and a nice place to sit out. I bought some plants for the window boxes on the shed. I've also ordered some pretty floral bunting to put round it. (Thanks for the idea Cathy!) I'll put some more photos on here when it is up and the flowers grow a bit!


Our cat, Boodle, seems to have taken a liking to the swinging seat too. Let's hope the weekend is warm - so we can sit out and enjoy it ourselves.
