I'm forgotten!

Sophie didn't go to the gym this morning, and we sat with a coffee and watched most of Destination X. It's the final tonight and I have to say we've thoroughly enjoyed this show and loved Rob Brydon's part in it. I think he's so funny. We both hope there'll be a second series!

My first hour at work was spent moving two classes at one of our centres, from one side of the sports hall to another. This should have been done at least a week ago, as bookings had opened and we were lucky that nobody had reserved the courts for badminton! It sounds a simple job, but it wasn't and Sheila had to help me. I am always terrified I'm going to wipe out bookings for the rest of the year as the system is quite sensitive!

After this job, I had to write a difficult email to a customer but get Georgie, who is our Operations Director, to check it first. It's at times like this that I need the office to be quiet so I can concentrate, and luckily I managed to write the email before the phone lines opened!

At 2pm, I went out to the car park to meet Keith, but he was nowhere to be seen. Thinking he had become caught up in traffic, I waited a while before calling him. When he answered, he sounded surprised... he'd forgotten me and thought I had driven today! In that case, how did he get home from Tesco?

I had no choice but to go back to the office and confess that I'd been forgotten! It meant I was late getting home, and late going over to see Mum and Dad. We sat and chatted for a while and then I returned home to spend the rest of the afternoon doing the usual jobs.

When Sophie arrived home, we watched the last twenty minutes of Destination X and bade farewell to London cabbie, Daren. We both thought it was a miracle he had survived so long, bless him!

Sophie cooked paella for dinner, using the spices we'd bought in L'Escala, and the meal was delicious. Even Keith agreed and it's one of his least favourite dishes! Tonight, on Masterchef, we saw the first ever chocolate fondant of the series! It oozed beautifully!

We watched the first half of Destination X, but we've left the rest to watch tomorrow with a glass of wine!
