A Cold Front

Or rather, not!

Got the final death sentence on the AC in the car today. The quote is for over £500 and it has already cost me £90+. I'd allowed £200 tops so I couldn't allow it more than £110. So, that's that and I have to hope for good dry weather now and may all the raining days be cold ones.

I was a little upset today to discover it was one of my friends 18th birthday. He was asking around for someone to spend it with and I had to let him down because I was trying to sort the car out. On top of that I had a 'pretend' cop coming round to visit to discuss the setting up of neighbourhood watch in this area. What was annoying about that was him being due here at 5pm yet he actually turned up at 6.45pm still expecting a meeting on the subject. I feel doubly mean to Andy now for not agreeing to meet him as I could easily have changed what I did with the car until tomorrow and, if I'd know the cop was going to mess about, I could have cleared the remainder of the day.

The other day I also missed Danny's birthday. I really did promise myself I'd buy a card and post it off to him in good time but I totally forgot to do it and had to resort to a web message instead, way too lame for words.

On the plus side, I feel great and am still looking forward to Stargate night tomorrow and the theatre on Friday.

I have also decided that this weekend I am going to win several million pounds on the lottery and I have great plans for August and September to spend the proceeds on ... so, leave me to my little fantasy for a bit will you. On the very slim chance I am mistaken - and yes, I confess, I have been before - I would still be happy to treat anyone available to a pot of tea in Beatties :-)

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...
