Eurovision ... I have gone bonkers!

After way over a decade of not watching (except for a brief moment in 2000 which doesn't count cos it was on in the pub) I am going to sit down tonight with friends and watch Eurovision 2007. I promise not to get angry about the political voting or to laugh at the crapness of the acts, I shall be good and use this as a healthy distraction from the real world!

Matt has again decided not to date Kerry. He says he'd quite like for a while not to be dating anyone ... I give it two weeks.

The car now has 5 people watching ... please can they all start bidding now so I can at least feel there is a chance of selling the car. What worries me is that were it me I'd be asking to look at the car myself rather than thinking on paying over £4000 for a car I have not seen. As none of these 5 have contacted me I have to conclude that either they really do like leaving these things to the last minute or that they are not serious bidders, maybe just others trying to sell a C5 and wondering what they go for these days!

Robin is having a lovely time in London though I have totally forgotten again which show he is seeing tonight ... this is annoying because when he told me I did know the show ... hey, wait ... yes, it's that one, erm ... On the Town maybe? Yep, just checked and it is and it was a good movie so hopefully a good show as well.

We are looking forward to our own London trip the week after next. We had planned to go to a Kagoul event but as it is being run by member littleangel and he's a little twat with no brain who loves himself more than any one else possibly could and is only doing it for attention and his own select guest list ... well, we are not going to that, have better things to do. Hopefully Robin will take us down there as also 'hopefully', we won't have a car by then.

Bought myself some new clothes yesterday. I have now finally got myself a larger sized assembly of things to wear as I really can't see myself realistically losing weight any time soon.

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 ...
