The weekend following the shitty Friday

It was lovely to spend some time with Andy who was smelling great after giving up smoking ... long may that continue.

In the evening we drove to Ian & Richard's in Twickenham, I only managed one slight detour and that was because I got distracted by music and roadworks, made a speedy recovery though so no harm done.

I was shocked, in a good way, at just how many familiar faces were there whose names I knew. It is easy to forget just how many lives have crossed paths over the years and it was a nice reminder.

I was particularly impressed with Jason who looked wonderful. He always has but somehow he seemed more so. He also seemed quite happy to be playing with Andy as well.

Am not going into details or who I met there or what we spoke about. Suffice to say it was all good and enjoyable but probably dead boring to anyone else.

Who did we see naked? Hmm, Charlie! Saw Adam's bum ... and other things.

The journey home was easy though we stopped by Toddington services for a coffee as I was flagging. Arrived home around 2:45. By that time I had woken quite a bit so didn't actually get to bed until around 06:00!

Jermaine came over on Sunday for another enjoyable visit.

Monday we went to Milton Keynes to discuss with the Toyota dealers about buying a Prius. I called before I left to make sure it was still avialable and was told it was and then, when we got there it was a case of suddenly not being available again so I was none too pleased and less so when they offered just £5000 for the Renault! Some people know how to take the piss.

Still, not to get too pissed off we went to Ikea for lunch but The Abbey called first and I had a long conversation with one of their managers who seemed to think it was OK to call a full time carer 'unemployed'. I have written an email of complaint to Abbey head office but as they have not even acknowledged the one I sent two weeks ago I doubt I shall get any further with it. I think the company are just a bunch of shits who don't give a toss about their customers any longer and shall switch away from them as soon as funds allow.

Been reasonably busy at work today. Still enjoying it. Worked a little this evening as well and am now rather knackered and wondering why I've not gone to bed.

Tomorrow I have to get Zoey to the dentist again to have another couple of teeth out. I am not sure which of us is looking forward to it least!

Hoping Martyn is enjoying Gran Canaria. Got a little worried that I've been contacting him a bit too much since he got there. I really just hope he has a great time and relaxes.

hands hurting now, too much typing today!

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....
