Can't believe where the last week has gone. I had a meeting on Monday, that meant that I didn't get up to the london flat to sort it out.

Tuesday we were getting ready for the usual gym session when they phoned to say the lift was out..... yet AGAIN.

At least that meant that GOM was able to get on with the Accounts. But had to make a trip down to the office to pick up some copies of missing papers.

At my meeting on Monday I met the Chair of one of voluntary Groups (the one that NEEDS the accounts completed) and she arranged to come round on Wednesday to 'chase up' GOM.

This meant that we were later than normal getting out on Wednesday, but we still managed to get back 'before the coach turned back into the pumpkin'

By thursday the lift was fixed so we had our normal pool session. I'd tried to book a doctors appointment for myself as I've had some strange discomfort around my waist under my ribs, but couldn't get one. Arranged for the doctor on triage on Friday to call me back (not convenient for me on the day as we've got the gym session) After we'd changed after a fairly longer session, we decided to try out the new concession that had recently opened in the club room. Only then (about 11.30) did we find out about the bombs. So we stayed for some lunch and watched their wide screen tv. Got home about 2pm. Unfortunately the fatigue had already cut in, so GOM had a little 'accident' before he got back (he can't control his bladder if he has to concentrate on 'walking), but we're getting used to this now. However he was completely deflated for the rest of the day and I had to push him around in the chair until bedtime.

Friday everything was more or less back to 'normal' (as normal as it can be). The doctor phoned me about 08.10 but couldn't offer much help over the phone, so he asked me to got down for an examination. Got there about 8.25, saw him about 8.35, but he still couldn't find anything so it's just 'wait and see'. GOM had to stay in bed while I was out - normally I won't go out until he's showered, but he wasn't even properly awake so it was better to leave him where he was. Got back about 8.50. We got out for our shopping just after 10.30 and were back about 12.

GOM's sister phoned to let us know she had got home - she'd had a business meeting in london on Thursday, and although this wasn't affected she couldn't get home afterwards so had to stay with a friend at Putney overnight.

Also found out that my b-i-l had been in Edware Road at the time of the blasts, thankfully away from the incidents, so actually managed to get home - he drove in.

And here we are back at Saturday again. I've got to get up to the london flat on Monday. Last bit of cleaning, make the bed, put up some curtains and the shower curtain and meet with two estate agents for valuations - should be interesting
