My Blog Entries become less frequent

I could do a blog entry from Gran Canaria and I may but it won't be something I'd see as an obligation, more what I would do if I was getting really pissed off or something really special had happened ... don't expect anything!

For a few hours there things collapsed with regards to my plans for the holiday. It was good in a way as it showed me just how important it was to me, how much I need the break but also how much I need to have this divider to take me on to a different level, a new stage in my life.

Pete & Stan have offered to help me out there and I'll most likely take them up on it but it requires a visit up there (always great) just so I can see what it really entails but also because I'd hate to let them down in any way. If I don't think I am up to the task then I'll say so.

For my last meal at home I thought I would cook something different so we are having Jambalaya. I am particarly proud of my version of it though I may have made it just a little too spicy even for me this time around ... I so hope I don't have the shits tomorrow!

I decided it would be nice to take along a bottle of wine to GC just to give us something in the apartment. The bottle I won at the theatre was still sitting in a bad on my office floor so I grabbed that ... it's Champagne, not wine so a nice treat really. I hope Martyn is OK with Champagne ... I can't recall who it was that didn't want any at New Years. Not sure I can drink a whole bottle!

I am thinking I have packed everything but I am sure something will have escaped me. Only just remembered towels a short time ago and that was only because I was looking for something to wrap the champagne in. Not that we need them for the apartment at all but if we go to the beach at any time, we'll need them there.

Shall miss my little chats with Simon, Nick and Robin whilst I am away but there is no way I am costing myself a fortune on texts and calls.

So, have a lovely couple of weeks all of you. The weather doesn't look like being so bad here in the UK next week, high teens from what I can see and no rain apart from this Sunday. I shall be thinking of you whilst basking in the tropical heat, supping beer and eating fine food

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...

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...
