Overdoing it

It has been a nice day today but has also proved to be just how unwell I am.

Got up early to go and meet Seb down town and had a really fun time. It was great to laugh a lot and be on the same wavelength as someone else. Annoyingly, because I think Seb and I could be really good friends, he is probably moving back to France again soon so I may only see him one more time before he goes and I am a bit gutted about that.

Drove over to Robin’s after that and took him some new mugs. I figured it is always nice to have something new and fresh in the house and it is kinda of a way of me being there when I can’t be too.

Memo to self: Cut Robin’s hair … no, I am not obsessed with hair, I just seem to be OK at cutting it and it needs cutting.

I got back here with good intentions to do some housework, cook dinner etc but I was so shattered I just needed to go to bed. Very pleased to have the chance to speak to Danny first though.

Daisy was really good earlier. She cooked dinner without complaint and then did the washing up afterwards without complaining as well so I gave her £2 as a reward. Rewards are not assured here as then it would just be a payment for a job and I don’t believe families should do that. But every now and then when someone does something really nice or unexpected, it’s appropriate to show some appreciation that is tangible.

Oh, I started this by saying how I was overdoing it. I still need to though, I can't give in to illness, it's not me.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
