To an end with a thump and a slide

Checked in bags at Disney Monday morning, all good. No long wait, seats booked and spent a lovely day in the Magic Kingdom. Got back to the car and found out that Freddie, our cat, had been killed by a car. Deej got really upset right off, didn't get me until Matt posted a message about him and dripping taps on MySpace. It brought Freddie real again for me and I blubbered a little.

He was an amazing cat, very well mannered and loving and he and Tilly had started to get on really well to the point of playing together. So, now we are back to just our Tilly again and I think we shall leave it that way.

We got to the airport by about 4pm and thought we'd done real well on timing ... due to go to gate 85 at 6pm. Thing was, nothing showed on any screens. Flights before and after but not ours. I used my laptop and went online to see if there was any news ... our flight had been delayed by 24 hours!

We went to the Virgin desk, they put us up in the Hyatt Orlando at the airport and have given us vouchers for food. We don't have any clothes beyond those we are wearing. We are so not happy with what we have got from Virgin.

For the record, yes, we have been missing everyone back home, including Matt, Anne & Jermaine, we have just been speaking more to Daisy, Sean & Zoey so they got mentioned more. It was really nice to see Matt & Anne on cam the other day and, of course, our Freddie too. Nice to see him messing about as our last image of him.

We are due home tomorrow at about 10am (Weds)

I want to sort something out with James as well. He seems to be totally confused on who is doing what to who. I know that no one at our place has it in for him or plans in any way to stop him seeing the baby. All anyone has said is that he needs to show some commitment apart from just wanting to 'win the right' by stamping his feet.

My battery is about to die so will need to end here, apologies for typos and spelling mistakes

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

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...
