Star Wars 2, Mah Jong and Weights
May. 9th, 2002 11:19 amEpisode 2 is nearly upon us and I'm trying to arrange to see it in Feltham on the Friday. I've sent an email out to see if anyone wants to join us, and it looks like Martin, at least, will be coming along. (Anyone else interested ?)
Meanwhile, last night went incredibly well. Bella and Louise came over and we played Mah Jong (which was great 'cos I won ! ;-) ). This was after we read the few hundred different rules versions on the web (the traditional Chinese rules, the modern Japanese rules, etc. etc.). I got to hear all the office gossip and the staff changes. It's weird - I miss the people, but I don't miss having to play office politics. I was never terribly good at it anyway (I've been told by my boss that I'm too honest - which bodes).
Sadly, after last night (sausage casserole, fruit salad, Ralph-recommended wine and After Eights) my diet has taken something of a set back. I hate shedding post-pregnancy weight, but at least I'm getting somewhere (apart from minor glitches). I've lost 9lbs and have another 12 lbs to go (possibly more if I want to go below my pre-pregnancy weight). Not bad in the 8 weeks that include my birthday and Easter.
The twins behaved themselves very well yesterday, despite suffering from their 4 month polio immunisation. Plus they finally did a 10 hour sleep-through-the-night (actually a sleep through the evening). We took them to the clinic this morning to weigh them :
Ryan - 13lbs (a gain of 8oz in 2 weeks)
Beatrice - 10lbs 14oz (a gain of 11oz in 2 weeks)
And the health visitor wants me to start them on solids - which I've been putting off. (Nightmares of food thrown at every wall).
Plus, I should be getting on with Swordsmaster preparation. I'm half-way through, but have only a week left.
