I am still recovering from my almost lost voice, it has been embarrassing having to explain reason I sound so ill to all the people who have given me sympathy this week. There is also a slight concern that my bank balance may never be the same again, but the financial pain and physical suffering was worth it for an unforgettable, fun and crazy weekend.

What happens on a hen weekend stays on a hen weekend, so I really can’t say too much. However being the only single woman, in a majority of married and engaged ladies, meant that there was at least one aspect of good behaviour amongst the rest of the women over the weekend.

Saying that Lucy (the bride) had promised to find me a fella, after all she did meet her fiancée through me. And this weekend did introduce me to a new man (a Canadian with an appreciation for Percy Piglets). How intentional the introduction actually was is questionable. Whilst I was off buying water and getting lost, he must have stumbled into the rest of the group and found no way to escape. Being a modern ‘technical’ woman I gave him my web address… though I’m not sure giving a guy full access to my blog and thoughts prior to taking me out is really the way forward in securing a date!

Now I am almost fully recovered… and will be much better prepared for the next Hen Do (and man) that comes my way!!!

Easter weekend is a good place to start. Today is a fortnight until Good Friday. Easter weekend means many things – Bank Holidays, seeing family and friends, lots of chocolate. Of course there are also many religious services to attend for those who so wish. But on top of all the regular joys of Easter, two things stand out this year.

Firstly there is Red Dwarf. Oh yes. It’s back. On Dave. Thanks Dave! I look forward to being whisked back to my youth and sitting there with my Dad chuckling away. Red Dwarf was a daddy-daughter ‘thing’. Here’s hoping it’s as funny as it ever was.

Secondly, and more tentatively there is a Doctor Who special. Or at least that’s what we have been lead to believe. However despite it being just over two weeks to the expected due date there seems a lull of information. The BBC website is surprisingly absent of anything related to it. Apart from speculation I can find nothing concrete. Absolute nada. What is going on? If it does turn up let’s just hope it’s better than Christmas, which I have to say was possibly the most disappointing episode so far. I kid not when I tell you I nearly nodded off.

In the weeks following Red Dwarf, and hopefully Doctor Who too, I will be headed back down to my old home of London for a couple of things.

Bank holiday weekend is ‘Hen Weekend’! The first one I have ever attended. I’m sure there will be drunkenness but I can say no more than that right now as the Hen is completely in the dark about what will happen once we get to London!

And then a couple of weeks later I will be back in the capital for early birthday celebrations with my southern contingent of friends. Really need to get planning on that one. However the furthest I have got is deciding to make time to pop to the Science Museum and check out Wallace & Gromit’s new exhibition. Exciting stuff!

So see now I have plenty to look forward too in good health. Meanwhile I must try and find a replacement for Cake Friday as I am stuck here at home. Time to get creative!
