|
| I got up early and went for a run first thing. Then Dad left and we went to a PST meeting at church. That was a really good meeting.

Got in from there about 7.30pm. I was knackered. In the evening we watched `In Her Shoes` which was crap. | |

Went
For A Run |
|
| I went for a run first thing. Dad came over about 9am and Nick also came about the same time, to do a days work on the wardrobe. Me and Dad went to see a house in Woodingdean about 10.30am. It was really nice but there were a couple of minor things wrong with it, but nice all the same. After we'd seen the house we drove to the Downs Hotel pub in Woodingdean and had a pint and chatted about the house and made a list of things for him to ask the estate agents. Then we went to to aquarium shop and I bought some fish for the tank. Came home and had lunch and then drove over to Clare and Dee's new house and help them move them move in. They got the keys about 1.30pm. There was only two vans of stuff and they had Yabby and a friend of Dees from work called Adam helping them so we got in done pretty quick. Anne and Mike also came over to help. We stayed there for a little while and then came home about 4pm. In the evening Andrea drove us to Clare and Dee's to pick them up to go out for dinner. We went to the Buffet Island which was really busy, but we just about got a table. We had a good meal there and then dropped them home and Dad Andrea and me came back to ours and watched the last episode of `Only Fools And Horse: Season 1`. Dad stayed over | |

Went
For A Run Went for a run first thing. Did well and felt good afterwards. Then Nick and Dad came over to drop off the wood for the wardrobe doors. Then Nick stayed all day working on that. I did some house work till around 11.30am when Andrea came home and went off to have our 21 week scan at the Royal Sussex County hospital. We were a bit early but when we got there we discovered we'd left all our pregnancy papers and info at home so we dashed back and got it all and then came back to the hospital to have the scan. That was really good. Amazing to see the baby again. We couldn't find out what sex the baby was though as the scan operator couldn't get a good view. After that we came home and had lunch and then Andrea went off to work and I did some house work and stuff on the computer reinstalling all my software from when I had to reinstall windows the other day. Just chilled out in the evening and watched `Saints and Soldiers` which was pretty good |

Went
For A Run Went for a run first thing, but found it a bit hard going. Again though I felt good afterwards. At around 10am I drove to Andy's in Hove and from there we went in his car to the retirement home we going to do our first service there. It was a really nice home. Very big. The manageress was very nice and there were 16 or so old folk in the lounge ready and waiting for us. It went really really well and we both had a fantastic time. The old folk were lovely. One guy called Harry made a commitment there. I got home about 12.45pm and Dad was already here. We had a chat and a cup of tea and then took a load of stuff from the garage to the dump. We had to do two trips in the end. After that we came home and I showed Dad the allotment plot. When we got there it had already been strimmed so we're ready to start doing something with it. Andrea got home while were there so she phoned me and she came down to look at it as well. Then we went back to the house and got ready to go out for something to eat. We decided to go to the marina, and ended up in `Frankie & Bennys` The service was lousy as is the case in every restaurant in the UK but the food was nice. We had a good time and then dad dropped us back at the house and then made his way home. |

|
| Went for a run first thing. Found it fairly hard going but was glad I went. After that I went to the doctors again for a blood test to double check something they'd found in my previous blood test. Unfortunately I was kept waiting for half an hour. After that I came and had breakfast and then went over to see Dave Leage and try to set his broad band up for him. It turns out that tiscali hadn't sorted it out yet, so his account wasn't activated. After that I came home and did some stuff on the computer. Andrea came home for lunch. In the afternoon I went over to see Sean Chapman and then did a big shop at sainsburys. In the evening Andrea had singing practice for the wedding on Saturday. I watched the last half of `Shark Tale`. It wasn't all that. | |

To The Doctors |

| Went to the see the doctor in the morning about my blood pressure. It was a good meeting and it appears there may be a reason behind it all. When I got home there was a letter from the council about my allotment. I now have plot 9 on the manton road site! Just waiting for the plot to be strimmed before we can fully start. After that I came home and worked all day. At lunch time I went over to Anne and Mikes. Andrea also went there straight form work and Juliet and Ronan and Kievy were there as well. After that I came back and carried on working from home. In the evening we went to the Alpha prayer night at church. That was a really good time of prayer, although we heard some bad news about a friend of Andrea's she used to work with. Her and her husband had been in a nasty car accident in France. | |

After that I had a very brief wonder in a few shops and then drove to Road Radio in Hove and got them to have a look at my amp and speakers. It turns out the speakers were knackered. I bought some new ones and then went for a subway while they fitted those. Really pleased with them. I now have amazing sound in the car. After that I drove straight to Sussex Uni to pick Andrea and some others and we went to the Juggs pub in Kingston for lunch. Loads of people from Andrea's work were there and we had a nice lunch. also saw Trevor from church there. It was his last day at Southern Water so he was having a leaving lunch.

I chose a plot and then came home and phoned the council to let them know which one I wanted. Andrea came home and I gave her the flowers and a present for Wife Friday. After relaxing for a bit we went to Atkins's and had a drink and there and went to the Walmer Castle for a few. | |

| Went for a run first thing. It was first for ages and ages. But it went really well and I felt really good afterwards. Went to church to do some web stuff and meet with Jon but he didn't turn up. That wasn't a problem though as I had plenty to get on with. Left there about 12.30pm and drove to Dads. Had a sandwich with him and then we went to Heathrow. Waited a fair while for Ian and April to arrive even though their plane landed early. April had had a grilling at the immigration desk, but they made it through OK. It was really nice to see them both again. Had a long drive home as the traffic was really bad but we got back to Dad and had a beer and a bite to eat. While I was there Claire phoned to say that Ali had collapsed and couldn't get up. I left Dads about 7.30pm or so. Came home and did a bit of tidying and then we had an early night. Claire phoned about 11pm to say that Ali had been put down. That was very sad news. | |

We got checked in no worries and went through to the departure lounge and got a McDonalds. Got on the plane in good time. The flight was a bit crappy though. It took a little bit of time getting out of Gatwick but we made it OK and found Dad waiting for us. We drove back to our house and got in about 9pm.

Breakfast
At Olives After breakfast Olives we went down to the beach for a bit. But it soon got too hot so we retreated back to the swimming pool where we stayed until about 4.30pm. Then we came back to the room and packed a few things ready to leave tomorrow, and got ready for dinner, but Andrea wasn't feeling great. We went out for dinner at the rotisserie which we'd really been looking forward to but Andrea felt rotten and couldn't eat anything. I ate up my dinner sharpish and we went back to our room. Half way there the little golf cart came by and offered us a lift! About 9pm we ordered a milk shake for Andrea from room service which after a few mouthfuls made her sick. In fact she was sick a lot. But afterwards she felt much better and finished her milk shake! |
