Long time coming

I feel like I have been neglecting this journal a little bit lately. There is no excuse of course.

I love having broadband. I am currently listening to the radio on the internet! I am listening to a classic rock show on Virgin radio that Alice Cooper hosts. Scott had mentioned it the other day, saying that he thought it was on digital radio, but it is obviously also on the internet! Excellent. :-) So many radio stations have an internet listening facility to them that we do not need to listen to the normal radio.

We did a little bit of random tourism on the weekend. We stayed in bed til late on Saturday, then went to Lewisham train station to see where we could go. I chose to go to Gravesend, as there was a train in the next 15mins. Gravesend used to be a holiday destination in the Victorian times. People used to take day trips down the Thames on steamships to Gravesend and to Margate, which is closer to the mouth of the Thames. It is a quaint little historic town, well, perhaps not small, but a nice place to visit. We dida bit of a heritage walk around, following one of the guides we picked up at the tourist info place. Very interesting. Saw world's only remaining iron pier. I love seeing things that are the"world's only" or the "world's biggest" or whatever. Makes me feel connected to the rest of the planet.

We stayed the night and came back Sunday afternoon. I was beginning to fade, and by which time I thinkI had passed on my cold to Scott. But I enjoyed myself, and think I would like to go back there, but perhaps in summer!!

I called in sick to work today. So did Scott. Spent most of the day on or on bed, sleeping or knitting. Much needed. And an early night tonight too and I should be all good. Giulia from work rang me and left a message wonderinghow I was. She is so lovely. We are going to Giulia's house tomorrow night as she will be trying out some shiatsu massage on Scott's sore back. I have made some quite close friends at work,for which I am grateful.

There are plans for us to move in with Alison from work early next year. We feel we have no room to move in our current place, and I think Alison would make a nice house mate. We get on well, as do she and Scott which is great. We just have to figure out what we can afford. I will keep you posted!!
