A busy week and a bit

suzyscottdotcomSo, what have we done of note in the last week and a bit? Health has been good and bad, but looking back, we have managed a fair bit.
On Tuesday 11th, I travelled to work for the afternoon. The tender is now out to provide a revised service for the Helpline (based on one centre being sole provider, rather than two) from April 2009, with some new funding from within the Prison service, I understand. Having said that, whatever happens, I’m still giving my occasional assistance, whenever I can, in the meantime.
Thursday 13th, and Caroline had booked the afternoon off work. We went out via Saffron Walden (to purchase some of the new Essex timetable books – well over 500 pages each!) before driving via Cambridge ring road and towards the retail park, before parking up at Cambridge Newmarket Road Park & Ride, before going for an early dinner at La Tasca, before taking C to an evening appointment at CRC’s Riverside Studios. I’d booked C for a back massage, eyebrow work for the both of us, as well as deforesting my legs with wax. Well, it worked, not too bad, and I wasn’t covered with cuts afterwards, which was a bonus! After all that, we drove back to Royston in the evening.
On Saturday 15th, we left Royston around lunchtime. As Caroline filled up with fuel at Tesco, and was about to drive off, I spotted one of Arriva’s new Optare Versas for Service 331 – these have been expected for some time, and I got her to stop for a rushed shot! After this, we drove to Cambridge via a charity Christmas Gift Fair in Littlebury Green, which I’d heard about via a flyer at Saffron library on Thursday), with a wide selection of stalls, but a charitable purpose in Buffy Bus Uttlesford (it’s a playbus). We had a browse of the stalls, and ended up with a fair bit! We’ve got a couple of hand puppets from Phantoyzia – C fell in love with the fox, whereas I decided to go for a moggy… so C decided to go for a little mouse as well! I went back for a look at the chocs from the Cuddly Wuddly Chocolate Company (I kid you not, you can read where the name came from on the website!) and then a quick browse at the soaps from Second Nature, although I took a catalogue for later (the chocs had already taken enough of my expenditure, and I didn’t want the two strong smells to mingle on the way home!)
Monday 17th, back at work, and I was putting the finishing touches on the updates I’d been working on. On the way there, I had a look at the newly-finished Milton Park & Ride, which had opened at the junction of the A10 (north of Cambridge) and Butts Lane (footbridge towards Milton over the A10) the previous day. As I’ve mentioned here before, it’s a replacement for Cowley Road. You can see all the pics I took before work here. On the way home, I went with Caroline to Addenbrooke’s Hospital for her evening ultrasound appointment. I met up with her at Trumpington Park & Ride (I’m not collecting them or anything, honest!), before taking the H1 to the hospital (and back again).
Tuesday 18th was spent like today (Wednesday 19th), catching up, and tomorrow (Wednesday 20th) I will have to disappear for a bit… but keep watching, as I will be back!
