No Jermaine

Wendy just called to say that Jermaine has had some seizures so won't be able to arrive today.

She's probably telling the truth but I am also concerned that maybe not enough effort is being made to take him out at all. I don't mean if he is genuinely having a bad day but rather on days when he's happy and well when they should be grasping the chance.

The other day I noticed they were very short staffed there. They were muddling through but they were clearly stressed. The other client they have there was obviously causing them some concern they actually said there were things he expected them to do which they'd agree to do which they could not do because they were short staffed.

I am hopeful that the staffing thing is a glitch because I know they are interviewing but even so, it doesn't account for the fact that Jermaine is not getting out.

Something else I also noticed was that they seem to be doing the cooking elsewhere as well and I hope that is not a move to communal living again whereby everyone has what is being prepared rather than each flat has it's own menu.

I shall be bringing these things up in the meeting we have shortly for sure.

On another note, Daisy is dating again (Sam)



It's quite amazing how much he reminds me of my first boyfriend (back when he was thin of course)

Matt and Annie are still together which has to be good.

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 ...
