Early rising, Sophie & Scarlett and stuff

Got a phone call from Sophie at 01:50 this morning. She had been taken to St John's hospital with some stomach pains by ambulance earlier in the evening but they had now discharged her but weren't prepared to take her home. So it was 2am and they wanted to let a 7 month pregnant woman walk from Chelmsford to Galleywood in the middle of a thunderstorm, NICE!

After Toni trying to appeal to the better nature of one of the nurses we reluctantly had to make the trip through rolling fog and torrential rain to pick her up and take her back home. We stayed for a while and had a chat about various things before getting home at about 4am. Needless to say it was straight to bed and crash out time!

Once we finally got up and had breakfast I got a text from Sophie saying that she wand Scarlett were coming to stay until Tuesday.

It was lovely to see Scarlett today even though she is into everything and you really have to keep an eye on her to stop her getting into mischief. The downside of all this meant that the option of going to the Rage Against The Machine gig was no longer there for me but I wasn't actually that bothered as it was nice to have the family all together (plus I still have my souvenir ticket intact anyway!)

In an unprecedented turn of events I made dinner for the second time this weekend! Spanish chicken and rice was well received and we then chilled out with ice cream and watched Law Abiding Citizen. After the film it was time to prepare for work in the morning and have an early night!
