June 9th Home from QQ London

we are enjoying another dark rainy day in Hfd - the weather is totally unpredictable so we are house bound although we had to go out to butchers as i have to replenish my iron so steak and liver for main meal today! Plus Guinness.

We spent almost a week in London at QQ and saw more of Chris since Sydney - that is when they were living there.

It was glorious weather then almost 80 degrees and Mairead had taken children to Kerry over half term although ma was sorry to miss as we had bought a few presents.

Chris looked very smart - not this time in the gentleman's dresser of Driffield suit although we are going to top up his wardrobe when we are next over.

Chris stayed with us on Thursday night and we went out for a drink on strand and then for a super meal at Chez Gerard overlooking Covent Garden - we can recommend when you are next over in London. He could see his office from the flat window - about a 5 min walk.

He went home on Friday to cut grass etc and returned on sat - Sunday we went to cathedral and then to Marriott for lunch.

we had a splendid time - different way of life down - on roof terrace people came after work with couple of glasses and champagne!

we drove home early Monday evening - easy up M1 as light until 10pm so we had MacDonald's at motorway cafe .

We are going over to see Phil for lunch tomorrow - she still has Maggie so we are taking as she is applying for more jobs.

Tim telephoned and we are going to Harrogate on sat afternoon for lunch and to watch USA v England in south Africa world cup. We will go via Leeds to drop off Maggie.

Medical wise - not sure - no results from biopsy and having whole body CT scan next Tuesday to make sure no mischief. Frankly not optimistic but realistic so we shall see

Ma is well and very pragmatic although she did say last week 'not to die and leave her' ,which I hope is not epochal. I have too much to do in life.

Next week Chris may come up for night as Mairead is in Sheffield - she will come over by train to hfd - they will then go over to stay with James.
