Bouncy bouncy, fun, fun fun ...

Deej and me assembled a trampoline for one of the other carers from the group yesterday. We also had to move a swing as she has one of the smallest gardens ever. It was a small miracle we got things fitted at all and am so glad I took a tape measure along! It was a good morning though and we have had a right laugh doing it.

We sat down and watched 'Stargate Continuum' last night. Three times we got interrupted and had to stop the movie so shall have to try again some other time when there is less chance of this happening. It was a good movie though, all the usual Stargate magic with some excellent twists. Sad to see Don S Davis in it so soon after he died. Great though to have a great many familiar characters from previous episodes show up. I actually failed to detect any glaring errors too. Only downside is that there is no planned follow up movie or new series of SG1, this really could have been the end of the line for it and that's a sad thought. It is good though that we still have Atlantis to keep us going for a few months.

Deej said there was a call on my mobile yesterday from a withheld number. The caller refused to say what it was about and said they'd call back. It's annoying as it gets me worried someone I care about could be in bother. Needless to say, no one called back so I have to presume it was probably just a sales team.

It's amazing, petrol is at nearly £1.20 a litre albeit for .1 of a penny. The queues for fuel at Tesco earlier were huge and blocking off roads. I'd have gone somewhere else but I had a 5p off a litre voucher and it would have been stupid not to have used it. All this talk of people in real hardship yet still the car wash was busy.

Had a nice chat, first chat, with someone else off line earlier. It's really cool to get to hear what people sound like and realise they are actually very much like the personalities I assumed they were.

Am hungry now, time for grub :-)

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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
