Funny thing about injuries in muscles ... unlike cuts and breaks, muscles can apparently just keep getting worse. My shoulder is almost unbearable at times now. My Physio bloke reckons I'll make a complete recovery but, well, it just keeps getting worse. The session today was really very painful indeed. I tolerated it because last week was also painful yet, when completed, I felt better. He did ask me today if my arm was hurting at all, my 'left' arm. A lot of the pain I am getting is in my upper chest. No, my arm doesn't generally hurt ... except when I am typing, holding just about anything, you know, nothing much :-( Daisy, I don't think, enjoyed her birthday very much. There have been some stresses lately. I have done my best to mediate and sort things out but, basically, there is not a lot I can do right now. My mind just wandered, I was thinking, the guy who invented underpants, was his surname Dickenham? Hi Danny, yes, shame about that puddle in the way else

What is a reasonable amount of shit that any one person must have in their lives?

Twitter, no plans, so that finished that subject! What have I been doing all week then? You know, since I stopped spending all my time trying to get back up and running with my hosting company? Well, I have been trying to get the works website uploaded but, as per usual, I am awaiting the IT guys to actually do some work. Apparently their email is dead, I am not shocked. I am still spending money like it is going out of fashion with very little to show for it. Next week I am sort of planning on doing a build in the kitchen as I am losing the table from there. I see a breakfast bar with 6 stools and an empty space where my money once was. The weather, once it stopped raining today, has been lovely ... except, it was 21°C but didn't feel like it. Apparently, according to the BBC in a hopefully obvious error of fact, today is the hottest day this year. I am just hoping they meant "So far!" On the plus side, Florida promises to be hotter! Sod's law says it will be 36°C th

Bugger this ... I never had to alter these settings to my blog working before and now it is being a pain :-(

My third hosting company on a month went tits up over the weekend meaning a lot of lost work and email :-( I have spent last night and most of today getting it all up and running again but this blog has also been a pain in the arse! Grrrr

Which means that it could be easier for peeps to leave comments. Some may still have restrictions but with maybe a google account or something like that, you could leave stuff for me to read. I used to allow just anyone to comment but then some nasty bits of work were being shits so I decided to remove the feature. Today was another busy day, out for nearly 8 hours in total but got some things sorted. James will have some new glasses next week, expect some myspace pics. Daisy got her tits measured which are no different to last time. Anne found an amazing flat to rent. I am sceptical of private renting but, it is a great place so maybe I am wrong. Did some shopping, got knackered, still knackered, goodnight xx

... Don't you just want to scream? Life can be so frustrating at times. Just when it looks like a plan is coming together along comes the nuclear warhead of reality and blow it out of the window! When I was a kid and a teenager, I was always convinced that my life was never going to be like other people. I was not afraid of hard work, I had no intention of slipping into a sidestream of humanity either. no, I was just convinced, without having the slightest clue what I was on about, that my life would be apart from the traditional expectation. I clearly remember fighting with that certainty in my mind. I knew that I was different, that my life would make me follow an alternate path but I spent years rebelling against my own reality. I did manage a small amount of traditionalism though. I did get married at 23. I worked in London for many years, I worked locally in Essex for many years. I had a varied career (if it can be called that). Indeed, from 1979 to 1993 with only a short brea

First I want to share a song Deej and I have been playing loads of late ... to me, it is representative of the gay dad coming out, to Deej it is something different, about love and committment and, I'd like to think, we are both right. Listen here At the end of this message I shall include the lyrics for you to read. So, that song got me thinking about the past, about feelings and emotions. I went to significance, to consequence and possibility and just plain memory. The wedding, our Civil Partnership (etc) is July 10th, a memory so often experienced as it is the anniversary of my mothers death. Indeed, I am pushing my luck with the weather as each 10th July I remember was like that first significance, overcast and wet. Depression and gloom in a weather pattern. The other reason for why it is of importance, if one believes in such things as mere 'dates' is that it happens to be the day Deej and I met. The July 10th of old is clouding my judgement of the new date. I cannot

Finally today the IT team who didn't do their job right admitted they had made a mistake and the company website is up and running again. My Mazda should be back tomorrow - Yay! Erm, the plan we had to be Robin's official Carer failed. It turned out that by making it official it actually cost over £35 which is crazy. According to this government, all a person needs to be a full time Carer (35 hours a week) is 48p an hour! That is all which gets added to the benefits we receive already. Of course, the going rate for being a full time Carer not on benefits works out at only £1.44 an hour, so much for minimum wage! It makes me really angry how badly Carers are treated in this country! I made a cock up on wedding invites by forgetting it was more complex than just sending out invites at random. We re restricted to just 40 at the ceremony so I do have to be brutal with the invites. Because our Civil Partnership is just before the wedding of James and Daisy we have decided that the g
