Summer?

Let's call this summer shall we? You know, just in case the end of June sees us in autumn weather of 12 C again.

I can tell you it was just a little chilly on the beach earlier on despite the 27 C it was meant to be according to the car. Sitting here in the lounge with the sun belting down on me is a different story, it is so flippin' hot!

Visited Jermaine yesterday and he was bright and bubbly, gave me a wonderful smile when I arrived and we went outside and had some fun messing about in the grounds and he loved it. Sadly, he started to get a little wobbly on his feet and jerking a lot so I had to take him back. He got into bed and was asleep within 15 minutes after I'd had a chat with him and a hug so I left.

The journey to Gary & Toms was horrible. 4 hours it took and each decision I made seemed to be the wrong one. I left at 2:25 and headed onto the M25 which was bumper to bumper so I turned off to give the north circular a try and the same problem there. I got so delayed by those two roads that the rush hour was soon upon me and it was slow going the rest of the way. It should have taken 1:30 hours. Still, I had allowed plenty of flex time and eentually turned up just 20 mins later than I said I would.

Tom gave me Tony's picture DVD. It didn't work on his machine but did on mine though I noticed a few pictures I remembered were now missing. It's a shame he didn't have Tony's document stuff as some of those old spreadsheets were really fascinating like the one listing every car he'd ever own and his air miles tally! I don't think I really needed a copy of his shag chart but it would have certainly been an interesting read if I could have remembered the coding on it! I know he did show me once and it was amazing. Often wish I'd done that myself at times though I suspect my list would have been a lot shorter!

I am sensing a need for a Calais trip and also the need for a party. I was thinking that the day of the cup final would have been cool but it's a Sunday and as a rule, folk don't generally go partying on Sundays so maybe a rethink on that one!

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....
