| You Are Palatino |
 You consider yourself to be creative and artistic. And you’d like everyone else to know it! You take design and aesthetics seriously. You like everything in your life to be unique and beautiful – but never gaudy! |

In case I drop off the radar for a few days . . .
. . . I thought I’d leave you with more antics from Simon’s cat.

And such a long one. Left home yesterday at 9.00 am and got back at 7.30 pm … all for a ten-minute chat with the oncologist and a two-and-a-half hour chemo session. Do the math – that’s a helluva lot of waiting. I’d gone prepared with a book and a Hello magazine, and Nog & I tried staying entertained by playing Fashion Police (not nearly as fun as it had been in the emergency waiting room) as well as playing Hangman and watching some Olympic events on the big tv there, but it was pretty damned tedious nonetheless. On the bright side, I didn’t have to subject myself to cafeteria food . . .

Getting ready for round three. This time will be very different than the first two sessions because Nog is here. He wants to come with me tomorrow for the FULL DAY just so he can see exactly what I’ve been going through. For future sessions I will probably still do two ‘shifts’. One person to come with me for the oncologist appointment and another for the chemo session…

Across the street from the rental bike station.
It was another scorcher today. The original plan had been to get up early and go out in the morning while it was still coolish. And well, although I was up early to feed the cats at 7, after checking blogs, email and twitter, I went back to bed around 8.45. To my surprise I actually fell asleep again until about 10.30, which felt great. So after having coffee and catching up on my Scrabble games it was well after noon before Nog and I went out for a bike ride.
Needing a destination – and since Nog wanted to take me out for my weekly tapa treat – we decided to go on a hunt for a curious little restaurant/bar we had come across on one of our Sunday walks a few months ago. The only thing we remembered about it was that it was near the Alameda and it was called Cruji Pollo (Crispy Chicken). After parking the rental bikes in the general area and walking down several little side streets we finally found it. . .
