Apologies for (apparent) duplicate blog

It is not quite the same, I correct one paragraph placement mistake which made it look kind of screwy.

and ... on to today.

Strictly speaking, that'd be yesterday or, whenever it happens to be when you read this.

Tried to book up the 'experience' things we got for our wedding ... oh dear :-(

Our 'Red Letter Day' could have been amazing had I only not been so damn busy. Had I arranged it last month we could have gone see 'Avenue Q' but, as it happens, the entire offer has ended now to be replaced with a similar offer but without Avenue Q and in a different hotel one which says on their site 'Building work continues on the lower levels and some noise may disrupt clients'. Oh joy, so I go see a show we don't really want to see in a hotel that is going to keep me awake ... not overly impressed. They have said I can transfer it to a deal of similar value or wait until they have their new selection of shows in January. I don't know whether to do that or just book a relaxing overnight stay in a hotel with dinner included ... seems a bit of a come down after a London show thrown in but then, that only included continental breakfast. The other downside of the London option is that we are already knackered by the time we get there and then we have to walk to the theatre and find somewhere that doesn't require a loan to have dinner. Oh, I really don't know.

The other one, as provided by Citroen, we have decided to go for the meal deal at the Marriot in Northampton. It's a 3 course meal, nothing too fancy and local, that sort of appeals. Our other option was a hair cut and makeover followed by a photo shoot but that would have meant Birmingham and more expense.

Daisy has been getting too many headaches. It is probably the medication but, along with other symptoms, it seems more like exhaustion. Will she take a break? Not likely.

Lovely to see Laura here earlier, great to speak to someone intelligent on subjects I am interested in as well as Daisy.

Not a lot else happening .... had a bad experience on Ebay but only a few quid and I got most of it back ... also got the money back for the game I ordered which went to the wrong address.

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....
