The Very latest ... read all about it

Got up, had some grub and headed off to Robin's place to help him out with a guy he sees regular for his health. It was a good visit and we had a laugh. As usual his cat Minerva was in and out like a rent boy on a Saturday night. OK, maybe not exactly like a rent boy now I think about it!

Came back to get on with some put off accounting which I am pleased to say balanced perfectly. I filled out some forms, made some required phone calls and posted some letters.

After I had just finished that and by now, pushing 3pm, Robin visited here with David, our friend originally from Texas but lately of Clapham. We discussed a little economy, some anomalies and the very silly subject of why it costs more to get a three day return than it does to buy a day return. Neither of us could really resolve that issue except for that the service providers know more people need more than a day so they can screw them for more money whereas those on a day return are more likely to seek alternative transport options if the price is too high. It sort of makes sense but is still stupid.

As soon as they left I drove and collected Daisy from her late session at school catching up on her ICT skills.

Did several other not overly exciting things and chilled a little.

Had a long dad/daughter chat with Daisy which I hope helped her out with a problem she's got.

I have had a bath, feel nice and clean, totally relaxed and deciding what to do next. Shall I build another coaster or fly a plane or perhaps do a little silly stuff on the Wii? Decsions like that are what I love! :-)

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

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
