thanks Joanne - it was good
I've been absent for days and days, largely on plan though except for having my first Indian take out since the plan began - had chicken dhansak and boiled rice though, with half a poppodom and a tad raita - so not too bad.
I've too little time to try and catch up with photos so will try and do that from today onwards. Lots going on though - firstly and foremost, my beautiful old lady dog Taz is being put to sleep tomorrow :-( Breaking my heart, but she's struggling so much now and incontinent almost all the time, so it's def time. Not easy at all. Especially given it's my birthday on Saturday. I have good friends coming over for Mexican food (I'm cooking so I'm in control) tomorrow night with a movie and some margaritas. I won't feel like celebrating tbh. But at least Matt and I will have good friends with us
This is my best friend, this beautiful dog and I will miss her so much
it doesn't help that she always greets me at the door and wags her tail, even though she can hardly walk.
Also it's then my sort of birthday weekend, I just think I'll have a really quiet one, no major food indulgences although I guess the kids will want to go out or pamper me a bit, maybe. Monday I'm off to Edinburgh - exciting, I'm speaking in Scottish Parliament - to contribute to policy around digital strategy... then meeting my Mum for a birthday meal, night in hotel and then day in shops. I'm pushing for one meal in Wagamama but the rest will be hard to do especially as we'll have a drink. Any ideas?
