Mr W is out this evening and so there was no need for me to cook a 'wondrous' meal, instead I opted for tea and toast. On one slice I put home-made plum jam and on the other, Marmite. Now they say you either 'love it or hate it' and I have to confess I am very much in the first camp - there are few things I'd rather have on my toast!

There was no contest for today's 'photo of the day' - after appearing on the local paper's website last Friday, Mr W and his tube-running exploits have now made it into the print edition. I am so proud of his efforts and hope that he manages to raise lots of money for SANDS.

Today we received a Christmas present, re-branded as a New Year present, from some friends. Rather amusingly it was a set of magnets cunningly packaged to look like a giant iPhone!

I do find that newspaper headlines have a tendency to be rather melodramatic. Take tonight's one for example, I mean obviously a tube strike while the world's eyes are on London isn't going to look great, or inspire confidence for next year's Olympics. However I hardly think it's a real threat to the Royal Wedding since I can't imagine that Wills, Kate or any of their guests are planning taking the tube to the Abbey.

Mr W is very dedicated to his tube running project, which is why he left the house at 6.45am on a Sunday morning in order to catch the train up to London and embark on the latest leg of his journey. Meanwhile I just rolled over went back to sleep for another couple of hours, but I was with him in spirit - honest!

This afternoon we went to see 'We Will Rock You' at the Dominion Theatre. The storyline wasn't the most inspiring but the music, a collection of Queen hits, was great. A very enjoyable New Year treat!

When walking to the station after work this evening I noticed that now its sale is almost finished, Next are advertising the arrival of their spring/summer collection. I popped in the store on my way past to check-out the last remnants of the sale and saw that the new collection includes bikinis, which to my mind on 7th January, when it's cold and wet outside, seems rather optimistic!
