My first big outing last night. Marilyn and I went up to London and had a lovely walk along the Thames in glorious sunshine. We then had dinner at the National prior to seeing “All’s well that ends well” which is apt. It was a fantastic production which I enjoyed and a fairly straight forward story line made it easy to follow. I thought the conclusion was a bit unsatisfactory as he tied up all the loose ends in about 2 minutes. I suspect his tea was ready. I am generally not a huge fan of Shakespeare as it needs to be done well in my opinion and unless you are familiar with the play you do not have time to appreciate the intricacies of the language and the plot. It was bloody long and I wasn’t up to sitting down for 3 hours and had trouble getting going when we left. We got home about midnight and I was very tired so we won’t repeat that just yet. None the less it was great to be out and about and being normal.
I have been working in the mornings this week which has gone well and I am enjoying being back and using my brain again. My staff have all buggered of on holiday so I will have to do a fairly full week next week otherwise no one will be in. I will still come home for a lunch time nap though.
Progress is still good and I am looking forward to my consultants meeting next Thursday.
Love, Jon ; x

Hi Jon! We have been away in Cornwall for a few days, with Lyn and Marcel - bloooody 'ell!
ReplyDeleteThey send lots of love and good wishes to you and Marilyn. Really speedy drive back to get Peter to a meeting at Cricket Club in the evening, where I promptly got into a fairly colourful exchange with a stranger walking round the ground letting his dog pee against the club door. Silly of me to get involved, really,and he has now gone into print accusing the club of being snotty and unfriendly. It's now nearly 3 in the morning and your blog is the only good thing about today. Have been catching up on all the news for the past week. Just loved reading about your Dad. You have a very poetic turn of phrase - even when talking about your bag. Anyone out there reading this will think I have lost all sense of perspective, but that's what happens to you in the middle of the night.
Anyway, thanks for the company. It's just wonderful to hear how well things are going for you. Can't believe you chose to sit through a 3 hour long play as one of your first outings though. I tell everyone about your "journey" over these past six weeks. It's been inspirational. Now I AM losing it, so will go to bed - again! Lots of love from all the Simmos xxxx
That explains why you weren't in when I phoned !! Catch you soon. Peter W
