No time for blogging

Apologies for the lack of blogging this week. What can I say? Too many meetings, too little time.

It's also half-term which means I have had to "entertain" the troops. Added to that it's my son's fifteenth birthday today so tonight we are going to see The Rise and Fall of Little Voice at the Vaudeville Theatre in London.

Before that, though, he wants to buy a new pair of trainers at Nike Town in Regent Street. The Apple Shop (my personal Holy Grail) is only a short walk away so it could be a rather expensive afternoon.

Ruari's present from his sister was a set of weights. Her idea. Last Christmas she gave him a skipping rope that records the actual number of rotations. Our house is rapidly resembling the local gym.

And, no, I won't be joining him in his daily regime of pull-ups, press-ups and sit-ups. I had to bring the weights in from the car last night and I almost gave myself a hernia.
