Phew!

I love it when a plan comes together, when hard work pays off and I can rest easy knowing there really isn't any better I could have done.

  1. The software company have agreed to supply all missing software and pay the full cost of postage
  2. We finally got our new car friday afternoon and a special gift from Citroen by way of an apology
  3. Our Civil Partnership was a massive success ... by which I mean, it went at least as well as we could ever have hoped it would.
The statitsics of yesterday are as follows:

  • 41 people were with us at some point during the day to join in the celebrations
  • 12 were sadly unable to attend or declined our invitation
  • 16 either never replied to our invitation or just failed to turn up after agreeing to attend
Nothing got broken!

All three speeches went really well


For what seems to me the first time since 1986, the sun was shining, I am thankful. There were no arguments, loads of people laughed and got otherwise merry.

We received some lovely gifts ... only one person, through no fault of their own, got us something we shall have to return but, no harm done and they were along the right lines.

The only downer for us was just how early most people left, we would have liked the fun to have gone on longer.

Now, onwards ... have not yet done the holiday packing ... oh hell, I hate this bit! Check everything twice and, quite possibly another couple more times just to be sure ... to be sure.

This is the last blog entry for a couple of weeks at least.

It's a Small World After All

In life we are said to meet one soul mate, that special person we can totally relate to, who loves us no matter what and we love them the same. There was a time, not so long ago when we only had the people within a few streets of us to find them from. Then there were trains and telephones and we might find them in the next town. Cars came along to make life easier, TV showed us a bigger view and they might now be anywhere in the country. Then we got air travel and the internet, we've a whole world to choose from. Our streets is now a planet so, why are you alone precisely? My soul mate is 6,668 miles away flying in a dead straight line, that's like, wow!

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...
