Sumary of 2007

Erm ... nah, didn't do anything ...next!

OK, there were some significant happenings in 2007

Apart from a couple of trips to Calais, one with Deej & Robin and the other with Deej & the girls I also had three holidays in 2007. In January I sunned myself in Gran Canaria paid for by Matt (eventually). I then went to Gran Canaria again in July wit the whole family and friends but not Matt as he was broke (again). In November Deej and me went to Disney Resort Paris which was almost funded by Tesco vouchers.

In July I finally managed to get Jermaine moved to his wonderful new flat in Corby from the hell hole he was in before. In October I managed to get Zoey some additional life skill education.

2007 was the year of automotive madness for me. A time to lose a small fortune on the sale of my Citroen but to gain at a huge discount my Chrysler.

In June I watched Acorn Antiques in Milton Keynes with Deej and Nick.

In September the kittens Jack and Freddie joined us but in the beginning of December, Matt left

My health has been reasonably good with the growth on my ear resolving itself probably because I got a doctors appointment to get it removed!

Having checked through my diary there was not really much beyond that of significance.

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 ...
