The First Full Day

Breakfast next day and there was a shock when we discovered that Admiral’s floor guests only get to use a separate breakfast room at the discretion of the management and they were not so generous on this occasion so we had to queue along with many others to have what I can but describe as a very basic meal served by indifferent staff.

Today was our day to be doing photographs and movies which we did quite well albeit we did cancel a planned trip back into the Disneyland Park for some night time movie making. Matt spent some time winding Daisy up and she, in turn, wound him up. None of the kids were wearing warm enough clothing but it’s not like they have to listen to me.

Didn’t really do that many rides today, was not really in the mood. We made a point of watching the Lion King at Videopolis which was totally excellent.

The highlight of the day was the ride we had in the balloon high above the lake which afforded us an amazing view of the entire area, I mean, truly amazing, breath taken, just about as many ‘wows’ as it is possibly to attribute to one experience.

Our evening meal was at Planet Hollywood which I viewed with some trepidation but it was unfounded. They have redeemed themselves some way with this evenings experience with them. Not enough that I shall believe they are over their terrible service, high prices theory but who knows, maybe they have?

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

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
