Beggars Belief

It is a lovely sunny morning here at the lodge, crisp frost settled on the ground and the winter birds are happily chirping in the trees. I looked at the pleasant view of my garden and something was not right, there were splashes of colour where it should not have been. On closer inspection it turns out to be a wash load 'drying' outside over the garden furniture. It was rock solid of course, made quite a nice modern art exhibit all of its own but of no use at all as clothing so it all had to be washed again.
 
We can tell that the carers are back, they have this attitude that everything that has been used has to be washed and, yet again, we cannot see the living room for laundry. They seem to get through more in one day than I would have thought possible in a week. They are there with Jermaine all day so why on earth am I getting bedding being washed that was clean just before they arrived? Seems like further words will need to be spoken this evening.
 
Now, last night. Poor Robin is really going through it. It's the shock of what happened Friday of course and, on top of that, he is feeling guilty for involving his friends as is his nature. This is really daft because we know that if at all possible he would do the same for any one of us, that's who he is. What happened Friday should never have happened at all and it's tragic to see Robin how he is right now but hopefully the next few days will see him OK. How he is going to keep up with his projects I don't know but, on the other hand, sitting at home worrying isn't going to make him any better either. I shall try to make sure I am free to go along with him this evening though it is rather important that I catch up on some sleep after I get back from Kettering else I'll be dosing off when I am there and that is no good to him at all!
 
On the whole a quiet weekend. I did have a young guy (17) ask me for a shag but, well, really, me shagging 17 year olds just feels weird and I know I'll probably kick myself but I think I'll not do so. I have put James on to him as I think he will really fancy the guy, hopefully that is the case.

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 ...
