You may have noticed ..

I have changed the look of this back to a more basic template just for ease of reading.

For the record, and for those who don't read what this blog is about ... it is my therapy. Not that I need therapy very often but I find a safety valve handy now and then. It really is never more than a snapshot though, a momentary glance into my current thinking and not representative of my life in general. Invariably that will mean this blog could give the impression that my life is full of doom and gloom and negative experiences, it really isn't. On the whole I have a good life, surrounded by amazing people.

Of course, those who really know me know all the above already, they don't need telling. Those that don't know me may think I am a sad git with no hope for the future, that's not my problem. Whilst I allow this blog to be public it is not going to be fully understood by the vast majority of those reading it

Meanwhile, back to at the moment ... well, actually, at the moment is just after 3am on Sunday morning. It is Daisy's birthday. Matt and Anne are hear as are Jonny and Paul. Earlier Robin popped over (still feeling crap) with Daisy's birthday cake and we had spent the day with Nick helping him choose a new wardrobe. He looked really rather good in what he got as well. Alex and Ryan popped in for a while as well. We bought way too much food and much of it went to waste as it wasn't cooked properly.

Being this late I am not a little bit tired and in a few moments I am to bed.

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 ...
