The In-Laws

I had some 'good' news on friday- Andy is facing a delay in getting his visa, so he has had to postpone his flight until the 30th, so I get to spend a little longer with him- its not great news for him so I'm trying not to be too pleased! He wants to take me to London tomorrow to a show, I'm really excited, but it does mean I better get a move on and finish my talk and poster for the Liverpool conference. I don't know what he is taking me to see - I think it will either be something orschestral, a mid summer night's dream, something his brother is working on (he does technical stuff) or the lion king- whatever, it is really nice of him and a complete suprise. He didn't have to try too hard to convince me to take a day off, either :).

We spent the weekend in Norwich with Gwenny, his nan. She is lovely and made us very welcome. We took her to see her sister in the car, which was stressful for me since I was paranoid about doing anything wrong while I was driving! Gwenny wasn't exactly sure of the way, either, so we spent a while cicling the town's one-way system, while she got annoyed at herself. Her sister and her husband were friendly, and gave us cake and gradening tips. We didn't stay too long though, as her sister has just had an oppertation so was feeling tired. I felt sad when we left Norwich- Gwenny looked sad to see us go. It was a bit wierd walking around the town though, and passing so many places I used to go with Nick. I guess you really can't predict how the future will turn out.

Cricket practice, as yet, is actually not cancelled for a change, so I'm looking forward to that (if I can stay awake long enough). It will be my last pracitse before the dreaded Staff/student match on wednesday. I managed to go running today as well- I'm definately getting fitter, although after I finished someone had apparently replaced my thighs with painful jelly. The bastards.
