Still a bit blogged out with nothing much to report. The daily radio grind is starting to get to me and exhaustion is creeping in. My skin has started to get very sore and my left boob looks and feels as if it's been hung out in the midday sun.
It's been a busy week that got off to a good start at the weekend with Mother's day. I was thrilled to be given my very own Nintendo DS Lite (white) and the intensely challenging game of New Super Mario Bros. Brilliant. At last my children understand me. Goodbye scented candles, hello RSI.
It certainly has helped the days fly by as Luc and I compete to get through the levels and the most gold coins. I am of course hopelessly behind - much to his satisfaction. If only he could dedicate as much time and enthusiasm to his piano practice, he'd be a child prodigy by now. Surely all the same motor skills are involved?
I have backed his plan to dress up as Horrid Henry for Book Day at school tomorrow which I think was a particularly brilliant move on my part as it will involve no actual costume - just a scruffing up of his school uniform and a bit of hair gel. Genius.
Other highlights of this week include the birth of my cousin Jane's little boy Stanley Tiger who I can't wait to meet, catching up on series 4 of Lost with Alison and Roger from next door and eating most of Emily's delicious Rocky Road bars. My weight is careering out of control and ever since the BC nurse told me that I am likely to put on about a stone and a half that will not disappear when treatment is over 'without having to work very hard at it', I feel there is no point in denying myself anything. This is obviously a standpoint fraught with long term danger but radio ends next Tuesday and I will allow my head to stay in the sand until then.
Francois is up in the Lake District visiting clients, so Nicky came down from Oxford for the day and night for a bit of girl time which we spent wandering around Marylebone looking for the perfect pair of silver wedges (for her) and the most expensive organic shampoo in the world (for me). The excitement I felt at washing my hair in the shower this morning is probably completely disproportionate but I find there is a tremendous amount of pleasure to be had from everyday activities.
Now I'm off to try and unlock World 3.
