Interesting weekend

OK, not that interesting but these title thingies are getting tedious trying to think of new ones.

Well, suffice to say that Matt and I did sort out our differences, we normally do.

I really feel this weather that is all over the place is not helping the mood of anyone and add into that we have not had a break from Jermaine in over a month and it is no great shock we are getting stressed.

Just now I am feeling a little peeved that guys I thought I was getting along with have just stopped contacting me or only contact me when it suits them and then don’t really say much. This idea of mine to make new friends really isn’t getting off the ground.

There are also quite a few guys just chatting to me aimlessly never really saying what it is they are after and I am finding all that a little tiresome. If they want a shag, just say so for heavens sake then I can either say yes or no and none of this messing about not really getting anywhere or saying anything.

All weekend and today too I have had this horrible bug that is making me really tired, my throat hurts and I am generally aching. It will pass as things have a habit of doing.

Robin took me to see a Gilbert & Sullivan thing on Saturday night. As I have never done any form of opera before I was quite keen on going and have to say I really quite enjoyed it. The first bit, ‘The Zoo’ was good anyway. The second segment which was a mix of many of the G&S opera’s was not so good and I suspect there are many of them I would not enjoy, a good thing in a small dose I suspect.

Sunday was not very exciting, the ex in-laws came round in the evening and it was pleasant enough but I am not really sure I can do all this parent concern thing anymore and she was again talking to Matt about how Jermaine needed to go into full time residential care. The more people that say that the more resolute I am that it doesn’t happen!

Today, which is Monday, is just 3 weeks away from going to Gran Canaria and I am really looking forward to it. Matt and I went out earlier to do some clothes shopping, finally have some new t-shirts.

I have been speaking to a few guys on Kagoul and like it very much. One of them called me earlier on the phone and we had a real long chat. I like him very much and nothing about him has disappointed me apart from how far away he lives but then, I guess that just means a perfect chance for travel.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
