Friday Update

Now, what did I do Friday? Let me see ...
 
The morning was quite relaxed (apart from the washing and having to get up to see to Jermaine's insulin, make sure Zoey went off to school etc) Matt and Daisy slept in for quite a while which was OK, enabled me to get things sorted that needed doing.
 
In the afternoon we went up to Kettering as Jermaine had to go for his pre op assessment. As I predicted, Jermaine actually didn't need to be there at all, rather pointless collecting him. It was just a question an answer session with the surgical team. He should get his teeth sorted next month but they are already saying that may be cancelled and put to another day, let's just hope they don't do it on the day else that would make it very difficult.
 
Evening time and we went to 'Puss in Boots' in Eydon, directed by Robin (wonderfully of course). I really got it into it, first time I have ever really enjoyed a panto to be honest. I think knowing the cast helped that as I was also terribly proud of what they had achieved. True, there was some awful casting but then, when so many put their names forward for parts there is inevitably going to be a casting issue. That aside, it was excellent and most amusing, well done them.
 
After we retired to the pub for nibbles that exceeded my expectations. It was also great to meet up with the luvvies too, I am really getting to enjoy their company and think I shall miss them now that Robin has finished doing his thing over that way, maybe next year?
 
I sometimes wonder, when I write this 'ere blog, who is reading it? I do know that Robin will, so will Nick and so will Martyn so hi guys! I don't know who else so if you read it and want to say hi, do let me know ... contacting me is easy, just write steve@ and finish the rest with the dizzyqueen.net domain, that will get to me. I can also add you to the blog notification service so you don't have to visit, each new entry would be sent to you!
 
Martyn, thanks for all the really nice things you have written about me and said about me recently, I am always going on about you one way or another and it is all positive!
 
Getting quite excited about my trip to Disneyland Paris, a little sad no adult company will be with me but I am sure we will have a good time all the same.
 
Plans for Saturday ... erm, not a lot. We do need to go out as Zoey has not got enough socks, that or the carers have managed to put all those missing items from our wardrobes into Jermaine's, he seems to have more clothes now than we do! Later we are going to watch the DVD of Fantastic Four or maybe go to the cinema to see the Brothers Grimm, quite a nice day really.

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
