A Mysterious Discovery

Daisy and I went for a walk this evening. We didn't plan on going far just somewhere to keep the pulse up a little and burn off some fat. There are some nice houses that have been built by Dallington park and I thought it would be nice to give them a look over.

We walked down the road and found out it went on further than I had anticipated and what we discovered there kind of blew our minds. There is Dallington House for a start, a huge mansion with stable blocks and all the other things a huge house has. Then we found ourselves in Dallington Village. I didn't even know there was one but here it was on our own doorstep a village dating back in places some 400 years. There was a lovely little pub (The Wheat Sheaf) with a beer garden opposite a 400 year old church with old houses all over the place and a babbling brook running through it. All this village bliss in the heart of Northampton and just 2 miles from the town centre. Should I win Euro Millions this weekend I so know where we are moving to!

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 ...
