On The Town

Tuesday proved to be a little fraught at times as apart from the usual deadlines that fill up my Tuesday in the office I was now finishing work for the next ten days to undergo arguably the most important civic duty I am likely ever to perform – jury service. I must admit I am approaching this time with much trepidation, not least because of how much it interrupts my normal life.

A little nervous, Sean joined me on Tuesday night to see Jim Bailey as Judy Garland in the Leicester Square Theatre. I felt uncomfortable, dressed semi formally whilst carrying all my cycle and swimming paraphernalia and indeed, if I had taken up the offer of the cloakroom at the theatre - £2.00 per item – I would have had to have forked out £8.00. I was also ridiculously hungry, which was completely my own fault and just the type of situation I have avoided so far on this diet. I have never been more conscious in my life of a lack of carbohydrates in my system. My body craves them, I suppose to replace the energy I burn off every morning and evening.

Anyhow, Sean turned into the perfect boyfriend as usual - allaying my fears, massaging my neuroses, dosing me up with carbs and holding my hand. Wednesday morning, I calmly arrived at Court in plenty of time – despite the tube strike – and I am still thinking about how great he is.
