It's sunny

... and I am using a weird Spanish keyboard!

Got here safely and the good news is that it is lovely weather. It's not actually hot as such but comfortable.

Met Jim Darby at Gatwick and we are both staying at the same place though not seen a lot of him which is probably for the best as I was already finding myself moving plans of mine to accommodate and that's totally not the point!

I am staying in the room next to the one I had last time, it's OK though I may need to whack the air conditioning up a little more as it's still a little too warm for my liking.

I am sure missing all at home ... being away is great as it gives me time to think and I am already certain that being with John is so totally the right thing, I love him loads and nights without him here are difficult.

Hopefully Matt doesn't get any feelings that I shall love him more for paying for this because that's just not possible, I love him, Jermaine and the girls as much as it's possible to love anyone so I can't do any more. I think sometimes they forget that my only motive for moaning and pushing a lot is because I love them and want them to grow up well and be happy ... Matt, you so better be starting that movie! Zoey, share stuff, it won't hurt and maybe everyone will get on a little better if you do because we are all meant to love each other you know and people that love each other want to make the others happy, that's how it works. Daisy, help Matt, don't do any winding up, don't be lazy and don't screw things up elsewhere to make life difficult at home and make John and Matt's life any more difficult!

Robin ... eat already!

Oh, thanks for bringing me here and for letting me know you got home safe.

Deej, seems I have loads of pictures of you on my phone and the laptop which is great cos I am missing you loads.

Do I do 103 or do I have another G&T this is the question?

Daily events will be more detailed in the travelog which will be done whilst I am here and published when I get home.

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 ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
