Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

We have some heavy snow here and ... some sunshine. Do we get some sort of weird rainbow?

The temperature is currently just above freezing so it is settling but I suspect it will be all but gone by tomorrow if it lasts that long. My only real concern is that the roads are clear enough later to get Jermaine back into respite as I don't have time tomorrow to do it really. I hope too that the roads are clear tomorrow as Robin and I are meant to be headed off north to be socialable.

I am still not really sleeping. I suspect it is the joints causing me grief but when I am aware I am awake at night I also get the feeling that I have been laying there like that for some time, more resting than sleeping and it is not doing me any good. I am having trouble concentrating, simple things like adding up I am having trouble with and it's a little scary. After the holidays I shall go see the doctor again and see if I can't get something to make sure I sleep and see if that makes a difference. I have had to stop the pain killers as I suspect that are affecting my stomach. I keep getting tummy pain and the only contstant on my intake is the pain killers so it has to be them. I will only know by not taking them for a few days.

What I am wondering is if the doctors are open today? If not I am in trouble as I places a repeat prescription in there for Jermaine last week and he does need to have that taken with him to respite. As long as they have it they can get the medication so it doesn't really matter whether or not there is a pharmacy open.

Now, should I walk there, this is the question? I am a little nervous, no pain killers means that excersise will hurt more but then, the car sliding off into a bus will hurt even more so I guess I answered my own question!

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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
