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.

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 ...
