An almost perfect weekend

Saturday : Start the day with an English breakfast and finish it with Steak and a glass of wine, days dont get much better than that for canivore wine lovers in London, then throw in a couple of fixes of caffeine and you find yourself rolling around London. That is what we did; after so many weeks out and about in the City of London we seem to frequent our regular haunts that we are becoming accustomed to the traits of "locals".We even took a stroll down Hatton Gardens but thankfully Sarah was just content with window shopping as we both marvelled at the idea that anyone could buy a diamond ring for over £10K and then even feel comfortable wearing it.There was also a bike event held in Smithfield: The Smithfield Nocturne (http://www.smithfieldnocturne.co.uk/), helping to raise awareness for the Tour de France that begins in London in a couple of weeks.
Sunday and the girls came up, and the heavens opened! Sarah's platelet count was low so she received a bag later in the day. Back to Wetherspoons where the girls enjoyed their roast dinner and then off down to St Pauls and their regular fix of "CAKE!" in Starbucks - the weekend was spend going from pub - Starbucks - hospital. Unfortunately, that is where Sarah's weekend finished: back on Lawrence Ward. When she returned for her evening obs she spiked a temperature of 37.9c and the doctors took the decision to admit her to the ward. In truth Sarah had been feeling a little bit unwell during the day but the attention of Abigail and Natasha had taken her mind momentarily off how she felt. So, some antibiotics were given in her Hickman Line and Sarah was sent for a chest x-ray. Hopefully if Sarah has an infection then they have caught it early and she wont be laid down for too long. Oh well back in hospital but at least Sarah ate well the last two days and the Wetherspoon/Starbuck shareholders welcome a speedy recovery as they end their Q2 reports.
