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.

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...

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...
