We're In!
Phone's just rung, bed's available now, so get our skates on!
The operation will be tomorrow, Thursday, so fingers crossed.

Stand By Your Bed's!
Well, after a quick call this afternoon, it's unlikely Jules will now be going into hospital this week. A lack of beds, and a want to get her in at least a day before the op means it'll more likely be next Tuesday that she goes in.
Big sigh, and plans for the bank holiday weekend resurected

Lets Go Ski!
One of Jules Uncle's has a sking boat, so on Sunday we popped up to Little Paxton for a day on the water. Hot, sunny, and very relaxing, pics of the day are in the extended bit, so click away.

Chicago Rocks... literally!
Well, after the news of Friday it was time to take Jules mind off things. So with the help of my younger bro, Ian, we dragged her off to Chicago's in the Leisure Park.
Pics below
Ian remains undecided on what to wear out....
Ian hits the dance floor, Monty Python stylie
Jules shows 'em how to dance
Another round please, kind sir
The drink is starting to effect our vision

Back in Stevenage
Well, after the news a few hours ago, it's down the pub to forget and chat.
Pics below
We'd already started in the Rat & Parrott:
So it was only natural we'd finish off in the Old Town of Stevenage...
A quiet one outside the Marquis...
Jules well on her way to relaxation.
The next few weeks are going to be hard, so it's good we managed to chill out. Let's see what we can do tomorrow night
