And on into the weekend

Yesterday I went to see a show in the evening with Robin, can’t recall the name but it was terribly funny if not for the reasons the author intended. Partly it was the way the cast kept forgetting their lines but mainly it was because one of the main parts was played by a very camp as tits guy trying to play a gay man who was, alleged at a few points during the play to be gay, it really was so amusing.

Today I did the much promised thing of getting the kids (and myself) ice skating in Milton Keynes, we picked James up too and he went along with us. It was great fun but I have to confess, I am so out of shape, the pain was really stopping me doing what I wanted to do, at times I was just exhausted! On the plus side, James was having trouble keeping up too and he is quite a bit younger than me!

From there it was a dash home again and out to have an Indian Meal with friends and mainly to say farewell to Danny who flies back home next week, it’s really sad to see him going but there really isn’t any choice in the matter.

As if the day was not busy enough I had agreed to go over to Charlie’s place in Bicester for his party. I would have loved to have enjoyed it but, well, I really had tried to cram too much in and only managed to stay an hour before leaving again. The final decision was made by Kevin putting on the Rocky Horror Show and that always does it for me, there just is not room in a house for the two of us.

I have Steve & John visiting tomorrow, will be lovely to see them even though I have totally no idea what we are meant to be doing. I would also like to have visited Martyn to help celebrate his birthday but, well, I think he’s working this weekend anyway or going off to GC, I know that is some time close too!

Sad not to have seen Gary and Tom tonight, I really wanted to give Gary especially a hug this evening because of what he is going through, not nice at all.

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...

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 ...
