In keeping with most of the civilised world, I hate Monday mornings.

This morning I am taking Daisy to school to find out what is going on. Most of her friends seem to think there is a teacher training day today yet the school website says not. But then, it also mentions no other teacher training days that they have had this year and I know of at least three occasions when they have been closed.

I am fed up with being single, it just doesn’t suit me. Not that there are any options or alternatives to that right now or for the foreseeable future. I’ve accepted and moved on from any idea that Martyn may wander down the relationship route, it’s never gonna happen, such is life, move on … so I did.

Still, a guy that is not into casual sex that can’t find a relationship feels lonely. Of course, casual sex to me means sex with strangers, guys I barely know so it doesn’t mean no sex at all but even so, not going to make my life complete by any stretch of the imagination. I can own all the gadgets under the sun, the PDA, the sunbed, the PC the … whatever, it doesn’t matter. I am not materialistic, none of that comes close to what I really need.

The tragic part for me is that I don’t, no matter how hard I try, find Robin sexually attractive, and I so wish I did cos I love him to bits and we get on so well … life is a bitch at times.

Really looking forward to GC, I so need a break somewhere hot and relaxing. It will be great being with Martyn again too … no, not because of any ‘feelings’ but because he is actually a very good friend even if he does have an annoying habit of getting jealous over stuff. It’s so silly really, as with all my friends he should know he can share anything, I’d help him get what he wanted if it made him happier. There is not a single bone in my body that would want to get one over on a friend and hell, I can’t help the way I look, I was just born with dark skin … I’ve actually always wanted to be blonde!

Gotta go, let’s go see what this school is really doing today.

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 ...
