Thursday already

Not done a lot today, in fact, just did what I planned to do. I awoke after a horrible nightmare that John had left me at around 9.30, I saved myself a padded sunbed then went over the road and bought some croissants which I decided would taste good with cheese and honey ... I have no idea where that combination came from but I was right, either it was a good mix or this cold has totally screwed my taste buds!

I sat down on my lounger by 10.00 reading The autobiography of Nigel Hawthorne and it must be well good because I didn't really move again until after 3pm when I considered lunch may be a good idea. That was just a soup with a roll, was OK but hardly anything to write home about ... except I just did.

The weather changed by the time I went outside again and it wasn't sunny any more but overcast and a little chilly so, feeling tired I went back to bed where I awoke again around 6 'ish to another nightmare, this time the kids were all taken away from me ... I figure my brain is telling me I am homesick though I am trying to overlook it as the concept is a little too upsetting.

Just been to the Yumbo and came straight back again as I didn't fancy going there in the first place, it was just somewhere to go walking to keep me active and try to flush out the virus. I should grab some food but am not really hungry at all ... the rum and raisin back at the apartment seems tempting though.

I think I may have got a bit of a tan today, but then, I may just need a shower!

Is anyone reading this I wonder?

Hope Daisy is OK, heard she got hit by a stone at school yesterday.

Well, that's me, may see Jim later for another chat, I hope so else I may just go back to sleep and yet, I don't feel tired, just knackered!

I'd use some smilies but I can't find them on this flippin' keyboard, they are not where they normally are and the marking on the keyboard are all wrong too, hey ho!

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...
