I have regularly been attending two health clinics.
Just got signed off one of them(for my prolapse) today, yippee!
I'm also hoping to get signed off from the liver clinic, the next time I visit there.

That's some nice news, Besley! Fingers crossed you do get get signed off the other clinic

Sounds lovely! Hope you're making your best of your London trip! I so wish I could go back soon! 

I am so tired and will probably fall asleep in the office today.
But since this is the good news thread, let me tell you why. Two words: David Tennant. 

Good Heavens! Last thursday gently and I finally went to London and on friday and saturday we saw him live on stage at the Barbican, in and as "Richard II", once on friday and twice on saturday. What can I say, it was absolutely wonderful and soooo interesting to see a play that you've seen before on DVD. They did some small changes, the cast was a little different... and it was so good. We had great seats on friday and saturday evening, third row... everyone who has seen "Hamlet" last year knows what I'm talking about. Our seats for the matinee on saturday were great, too... Gallery, last row, for ten pounds, as far back and up as you can get. The view down onto the stage was amazing, I have to say... it was fascinating to get such a completely different perspective. 

And David did the stage door. And he was endlessly charming and all smiles and talked to everyone who asked him a question and did not once say 'no' when someone asked for a pic. What a gentleman...!
On thursday when we didn't see the play we were in the first row. gently asked him for pics and he said yes, of course. Our pics turned out pretty blurry - but you can see the man and us and really, who cares. We managed to take some pretty nice pictures of him on saturday after the evening performance - and wow, I even had a short conversation with him...! 
And we got autographs, although getting one for gently was pretty... tricky. Twice it didn't work out, so on saturday evening I basically ambushed him while standing third row... thank god I'm pretty tall and there were two quite small ladies standing in front of me. But I behaved, believe me. Didn't squish anyone (we almost got squished on thursday though, wow, some ladies can really get quite determined...!).

So now I'm deaded and I wish I had taken today off. I won't be able to get anything done at work anyway...

That sounds like a great experience, you two! I'm sure I'd be feeling the same way if I had just gone through that.  Solar, I hope that you make it through the day and get a good sleep tonight!

Fantastic girls, glad it all turned out so well for you.
My own news is:
1. My dvd is here!
2. We have our next London trip booked, for April.

Oh fantastic, Lily.
Didn't know you were fortunate enough to be in London right now.
I'd never even thought of finding Angelo's.
But I love tapas!
Where is the place?

Fortunate to go and be there, less fortunate to leave -on the 2nd, school term starting back on the 4th.

The place is in the heart of Soho. If you see where Liberty is? You get all the way down Carnaby St (where Liberty is) and continue onto 46 Broadwick St.
Hope that helps?

Also...I haven't received STAB yet. There must have been something terribly, terribly wrong. Like order not processed or something. I'll just have to order it again then, I suppose. Hopefully it'll be there by Wednesday.
 

Gently, Solar, that sounds like a wonderful experience! Now I wish I'd seen him as well
I'm glad you had such an amazing time -and thrice in a row? For real? My, my, you haven't been idle!
Lucky you !

What a handsome man he is!! 

Very happy for you indeed!
