D-Day

Well, the day is finally here.  I'm so glad my surgery was brought forward two weeks, but I'm dreading it. I know it's probably very silly, but I don't relish being put to sleep so someone can take a knife to my flesh.
Anyway, this week has been manic. Yesterday was especially bad and I think it's best if we completely write it off as a bad job.  The highlight of my day was a giggle that I had on the Tube in the morning. At one station, as I was dozing in my seat, I heard an announcement "When we say stand clear of the doors, that is exactly what we MEAN. Stand clear of the DOORS please".  Hee hee.  You know how when the buzzer goes and the doors start to shut there's always ONE person who tries to hop aboard? Well this guy obviously got a bit peeved.  He was polite, but firm. It made me smile, anyway!
I haven't had time to blog about DD's birthday, but we had a great time. First of all, her best friend came over on Sunday and we had a marathon girlie film session with popcorn/crisps/chocolate and pop. I woke her up on Monday morning to give her her present (a "Panic! at the disco" collectors' box set and a voucher for her to choose the West End show of her choice) before I went to work. In the evening we surprised her with a nice meal (Wayne's treat), the culmination of which was a big chocolate cake complete with huge sparkler and the staff banging saucepans and singing happy birthday.  The look on her face!  Took some great pictures, but they haven't been downloaded yet, so I can't post one here.  The weather that evening was lovely, if slightly chilly, but it's been pouring down for the rest of the time. What a wash-out this summer has been.  Luckily, they are forecasting nicer weather for the long weekend. We shall see, eh?
