Bit of a crazy food week this week.

Having barely recovered from the indoor skydiving at Keith's stag weekend, Tim has been living on canapés all week, culminating in an afternoon at Taste! of London on Thursday with a few clients and VIP treatment (which amounts to one glass of champagne but lots of free cream scones). Tim saw Rachel there, working hard at her flagship event, and then caught up with Toby afterwards (predictably, in the pub with the Investec people). Highlight: the beer and cheese matching masterclass.

Jo is cracking on with the driving lessons. Work is, as ever, for both of us, work. Things are definitely a bit more manageable at GOSHH now, thankfully. Tim has only been out for 1 run this week ahead of the (relay) triathlon, but has improved his performance by giving blood this week: That's 400 calories burned while lying down, and a surplus of new red blood cells.

We're off to deepest Derbyshire tonight, ahead of Emily and Tim's wedding at Matlock. We've hired a cottage nearby and are squeezing 9 people and a baby (Isaac) in for the weekend. Weather permitting, we might go for a long walk on Sunday before heading home.

On the horizon: Tim's mum's birthday in the Cotswolds, Peter Pan in Hyde Park, Calvin Harris at Somerset House and - of course - 3 weekends of fantastic Lions rugby!

Putting the "ahh" into Spaaaah...

Had a lovely weekend at Henlow Grange, including a day off work on Monday.

Both feeling well fed, relaxed and tension-free!

Jo has been appointed permanent Financial Controller at GOSHCH after having to sit through a full interview on Friday - but we never doubted that the job was hers (no-one else could do it!)

Tim was out running on Tuesday afternoon when he and a few others took some clients out for a triathlon training day in Herne Hill, where they have a lido and velodrome as well as a nice little park for the 5k run. The weather has been pretty wet this week, but good running weather. The triathlon is a month away. Tim missed the first of his latest round of dance lessons last night, though.

It's Jo's turn to do the DIY this weekend (snagging work, mostly!), because Tim is off on Keith's long-awaited (and more than a year overdue) stag weekend in Bedford and Birmingham. Indoor freefall, clay-pigeon shooting and the like. Don't expect photos on this blog, except maybe for a photo of Keith in an undersized superman outfit in the indoor skydiving!

Weekend without work...

Lovely weekend at home.

We had lunch on Saturday with Seb and Rach at their place, and went for a walk round Tooting Common to try to get Jacob to sleep. No joy. Cute little wide-eyed fella, though.

Lunch not being enough, we then went almost directly to Toby and Rachel's to catch the tail-end of the Baa-Baas game, and have a barbeque. Home-made burgers and pork-loin, mmmmm. We really have to get our BBQ working this year.

On Sunday we sat in the Terrace Gardens on Richmond Hill and ate ice-cream. I can't believe I've never been through there before. I think mum and dad went there on the weekend of the wedding. The view was something like this.

Next weekend, Henlow Grange, to celebrate the end of Jo's audit, job interview and everything else from the last few months! Looking forward to wandering around in a fluffy dressing-gown all weekend.

Barry, Verity, Daniel and Matthew are all back home in the UK, with Mick. Tim's posted the Concannon family holiday snaps on facebook. Not sure if this will work, but try clicking here to see them. Dolphins, kids, emus and sunshine all round. Very nice.

If that works, try clicking on the photo of Lilia, below, to see more photos of the new addition to the Concannon family and - for good measure - here's a picture of Peter and Poppy too!
