Christmas, the summary

What can I say except that it was great. To see my family so happy makes it all worth the effort. Jermaine seemed quite tired but I am sure will have eventually woken up to enjoy his gifts.

On the subject of gifts I got some amazing ones!

In no particular order I am now the proud owner of three robo whatsits. I have plenty of books to enjoy. There is a model of the first expensive car I ever bought in the colours it was finally after an expensive repaint ... just before a thief wrote it off. I have this ever so sexy new keyboard and mouse.My joystick can't wait to be held and I know I shall have lots of fun with it.FlightSim has been upgraded and I am looking forward to giving that a bash. There is this fantastic Disney Villains Snow Globe and along with my fun water feature and my crystal light changer, I am a little lost where they are going to go but they will be somewhere special eventually. I was up too late this morning to have Lucky Charms but that doesn't mean I can't have some for supper :-) I now have a roll up keyboard to take around with me. It's fairly basic as would be expected from a keyboard which can be rolled but it knocks out a tune and will be great when I go on holiday. Oh, and I almost forgot because I have slept since I last saw it, I got one of those Stingray vehicles (SPV I think) which now sits alongside a ship and an Eagle from Space 1999.

I only hope everyone else had as good a Christmas as we did. A huge thank you to all those who were here in person, here in spirit or in some other way contributed to the happiness.

In short, there was nothing I was disappointed about.

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...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
