It doesn't rain but it pours down

Still, enough about the crap weather and it is set to get colder too ... but, enough about the weather already!

I love starting work early, it’s just such fun.

It dawned on me this morning that probably nobody had told the school transport to pick Jermaine up so I called them, woke the poor guy up in fact. It appears that the school is closed until Wednesday. One little problem just became a huge problem. I have Jermaine here and no carers.

Anyway, I do thankfully have some reliable emergency numbers to call now and was able to arrange for the carers to be here today and tomorrow after all so that is that little crisis over with and all before 7:35!

Don’t have a lot to do today, just some small shopping, Matt wants me to take a look at a music shop in town and then we are going to go over to Robin’s, this is assuming we can get Zoey out of bed which is proving more problematic than anything else I have done this morning.

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

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 ...
