In and out the other side

Saying I am cured is taking things a little far but very nearly true. I am sort of eating normally. I can't say I am because 'normally' before I got ill meant a whole lot more food than it does now.

Looking in the mirror I was convinced I had not lost weight yet went to the gym earlier and fully dressed carrying my ipod I was 9st 3lbs which is considerably less than I would have thought I was.

Matt has been telling me how some fat lesbian at college has been making him really angry today insisting that he has had 'man flu', in other words, a cold. I think I would have replied that actually, I was nearly better but that she was still an ugly fat lesbian!

Speaking of the gym, yes I did, up there somewhere ... I did more than I thought I would today. On the cycle thingy and burnt off 100 calories which is pathetic for what I would normally do but 'normally' I would not be on the cycle thingy for 15 minutes. I was a little shocked how low I had to go with some of the weights but I did what I could manage so that's a start. On one, the chest press, I used to do 60+kg yet only managed 28 today but that was way over a year ago now so I have to expect some failures.

I think I should stick to swimming anyway as I liked how my body got when I used to go three times a week and I'll cancel the gym membership. That will save me £300 by the time Florida comes around which will all add to the enjoyment.

Very underspent in Tesco this month, amazing to be in credit for January, It is traditional that it runs in debt until March. Good in one way that I have some extra cash but then, I get less vouchers too which means I don't have so many air miles to spend on Florida.

I figure if we can't stay with Danny in October then we will just find a 'days Inn' or something similar and stay there overnight.

So wished Martyn could have been here last night, just really wanted to be with him, I know, soppy but that's me.

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 ...
