A Red Letter Day

What with it being Valentines day it is a red letter day for millions up and down the UK and across the world but not for me as usual. But then, had something arrived it would have been anonymous, you know, there is someone out there who is my ideal man, the love of my life if he’d only call and tell me!

The time is now 11:33 in the morning and I can smell a lovely lamb joint cooking for our dinner later, yummy. This will be the third roast dinner in a row but I can live with that.

Martyn sounds a little more optimistic about the panto reading very deeply between the lines, possibly, maybe? I’ll find out on Saturday. At least that will be the last night so everyone should hopefully be quite relaxed and not trying to kill each other with visual daggers. I am still undecided as to what I shall do at the weekend. Obviously I have the panto but it is a long way to go just for a few short hours, I really feel like I need to arrange something else too but just can’t make my mind up what. It will probably be raining as well which will limit my options still further.

Robin is going through a rough patch, I blame the weather myself, and it’s enough to drive anyone into the doldrums. I think it is also that there are very few regular and long term projects going on at the moment and the nice things to look forward to are so far off. Depression is a horrible thing and I am glad I don’t get it very often now but having been there, I do know what it is like and wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.

This morning I didn’t get up until half past ten, I was quite impressed by that as I hardly ever sleep in that late.

Watched a movie last night ‘me and you everyone we know’ and it was really good
))<>((

As an ‘art’ movie I was expecting it to be a little dull and farty with no real story but a deeply hidden meaning but it wasn’t like that at all. There was a real story behind it and lots of well thought out additions and sub texts which lead to a general feeling that a great deal of thought went into this movie. The acting was generally excellent and the way certain situations, some adult/child scenarios were switched around to make them acceptable made a very clear point about the way society views such things. Well done.

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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
