Just a few 'Days' to go now ...

Until Martyn an I are off to GRan Canaria for what will be my 4th visit I think unless I have miscounted.

The weather here isn't bad though. I am looking at lovely blue skies with those vapour trails to remind me of next week ... if I don't think about it too much I can convince myself it is hot out there too!

Myself and the girls visited Jermaine yesterday. He was there but not there. It seemed to me like he needed a bloody good cry and maybe he did. It must be terribly lonely there. I can remember when I was a kid when even overnight away from home was really upsetting. Of curse I have no idea of his level of understanding but I do so hope he simply doesn't miss us that much but I suspect that may be the case so roll on the move to Kettering when I can visit at least once a week.

Nick kindly chemicalled me with Veet the other day but we ran out of the stuff so a little shaving was required so I do now have some itchy bits :-( Am looking forwad to my hair being done on Friday.

Hips, ankles and knees are painful this morning ... shoulders as well but that's a given really.

Last night I did my packing, well, most of it ... little unimportant details such as my passport are still to be put in my bag!

I am feeling quite upbeat and just chilled out, a good way to be just before a holiday. Now, if I can manage to stay healthy for the duration as well, that will be a bonus!

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

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
