Sort of nervously excited

We had a family conference earlier because the kids, Matt and Daisy were bothering me big time.

It didn't seem to go to well, no one really seemed interested at all ... agreeing more to shut me up than anything else.

Afterwards Matt gave me the laptop of his to look at and on it was some holiday ideas. Not for the family or for him but for me. It seems he wants to buy me a holiday for a week very soon to help me recharge my batteries and start the year off right ... bless him.

I am nervous because Matt is not the world's best at following through so I don't really know if I can start relaxing and looking forward to something or whether I should be practising for the speech saying it was a wonderful idea, may be next year.

Amongst the thoughts to cross my mind was this movie of his. He wants me to play one of the important roles but he is on such a tight schedule I cannot see as me not being here is going to do anything except screw things up. I did think of an alternate but it relies on Matt doing some heavy persuading.

I thought that instead of Richard playing the manager that he could play the piano teacher and the alternate love in the life of the main guy whilst the vacated managers role could be taken on by Robin, it is really such a small part anyway so well within Robin's capabilities even if he is feeling rough.

Speaking of Robin ... he's doing very well with his eating, very pleased with him I am and he says he's taking his medication on time too. If he continues he'll have a good long spell of happiness this time. A few ripples maybe but then, we all get that so he shouldn't see every bad moment as the start of something big, it's just the normal ups and downs of life and he'll bounce back from that the same as I do and many others do.

Hey, we have crap weather here right now ... it would be good to go somewhere with a mild climate even if it rains. If I go somewhere it will be a case of out of contact for a week, I need everyone back home to know that I am safe but chillin' and as much as I love them, this would be most selfishly me time. I have books to read, maybe some writing to do and I plan on getting a little more fit than I am right now too.

Let's see what happens ... and, now that's written, any chance my head will let me sleep I wonder?

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...

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
