What a wonderment of a weekend

Had a friend over earlier, someone that has one hell of a journey to get here and I really appreciate his visits. He also has really good taste in cars! (We both have the same car)

It’s really good to be able to sit down and chat to someone, I mean, someone that is on the same level, someone I feel understands me and I think I can empathise with him too.

Went for a meal at Brampton Halt, it’s always good in there and this time I discovered for the first time that they have a no smoking area so that as even better. Not sure if you have been there? It’s just outside Chapel Brampton in Northants between the A 5199 and the A 508 and right on the railway line to Lamport where steam trains still run. It’s a lovely little pub and well worth a visit, I can even allow them the occasional sport they have on the new plasma TV they have though it does seem strangely out of place in there. Meals range from £7 – 15 for a main course with a limited but adequate selection of meals.

Visited the Boston Clipper, Northampton’s premier gay pub earlier (I say ‘premier’, that is only because it is Northampton’s ‘only’ gay pub). We left just before 9 and it was still dead then, just a lesbian couple, a few gay guys and some straights.

Spoke to yet another friend later on and had a laugh on Kagoul. He is coming over here from Suffolk next weekend with even yet another friend and it’s just really exciting to have so many new people in my life. It’s like as one book closes, another opens in my life. I am pleased to say that the old book is still being read too so that’s even better.

Hoping for a lay in tomorrow, I mean, one I can wake up from without having to start work straight away.

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...

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...
