Paris Here We Come!

On Thursday we got up late … I would have tried to sleep all day I think as I got hardly any during the night. The kids reckon I have sleep apnoea from the sound of my snoring so perhaps I’d best sort that out but worse than that was the agony I was getting from my right knee, any pressure at all and it was like having it twisted off my leg, no way could I sleep through it. This sharing a bed with Daisy thing is not so clever either, never have I known someone move about so much in bed! At one point, no word of a lie, she was on top of me then kicked me in the privates!

Breakfast was a fiasco; they didn’t quite sort out what they were doing in the hotel so when we got down there around 10:30 we had to go to the conference room which felt as though it had been converted to breakfast on the quick. There was no refrigeration for the fresh meats, they could not supply bowls quick enough, all in all, a mess. To make matters worse, they were clearing up before guests had finished eating. I am sure, just a few minutes more and there would have been the vacuum cleaner over the floor too.

Paris was just fine, just where I had left it. We did the galleries to death, had a quick peak at the Eiffel Tower, walked to the Moulin Rouge and then got totally lost heading for the Champs Elysee where we just went in the Virgin Megastore for some reason. Got some pictures of the Arc de Triomphe then hopped on the double Decker train back the Disney.

As a little sub note, at some point my ipod died, these really are such incredibly good inventions with such an amazingly poor reliability record! Hopefully I will be able to get a replacement.

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...

The soundtrack of my life

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...
