Not so bad at the moment

I have spent a few hours in bed today in between visits from first Robin and David and then Robin on his own and I think I really needed that to help me recover.

Still really aching and my nose feels like it is on fire but apart from that I don't feel as bad as I have done after previous decorating stints.

On the plus side, all rooms are now tidy and being used properly though some minor housework needs doing.

I am so glad it is a mild evening as I have just spent an hour out in the garden getting the rubbish ready for going out tomoz. Three black sacks worth of the girls rubbish had to be removed from wheelie bins to make way for 'proper' rubbish. Their discarded crap will be taken to the tip tomorrow. The bin men will just love the mountain of cardboard we are putting out for them!

I still have a picture to out up in the office and some shelves in the kitchen which I should so just get on and do and stop thinking about doing!

Have been invited to dinner by the guy who collected Zoey's bed on Saturday. He's a Christian and we have struck a deal; I promised not to turn him gay and he's promised not to turn me Christian and he knows, I don't do prayers! I was real close with my id of the accent but it was Hungary and I am not sure I emphasised that possibility enough.

Need to look at Cosmos website and see when they are supposed to issue tickets. There was a time when 6 weeks prior was the norm so if it is that, they are late!

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...
