Josh is smiling but ...

We really just don't seem to be in the same place as the camera when he does it and it's dead annoying!

He smiles loads now and what a lovely smile he has too but, you'll have to make my word for it unless you've seen him recently! But hey, we are here most days, come say hello if you know us, just a quick call first.

My throat is getting better, not better but 'getting' better. I can now eat with hardly any pain relief at all. I am quite deaf though, I think my tubes are well and truly screwed up this time.

Been ordering way too much stuff for Josh on Ebay but he's worth it ... so what if we don't really have the money!

Am missing friends, barely seem to get time to do anything any more or, if I do, am just too tired.

Off to Corby later with Daisy and Josh, not sure if Sean will be around in time but maybe Sean too. I stupidly forgot to take Jermaine's money round to Matt & Anne's yesterday so am taking it up later. I figured, as I have to collect Daisy at 5:30 anyway from her friends house I just as well shoot straight off to Corby from there rather than keep going back and forth. She has no plans now for this evening anyway so it works out OK.

A reasonably quiet week ahead, only one meeting which will probably be totally pointless.

For more up to date nonsense, probably best to keep ahead of things about me on Facebook

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 ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends. Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
