Busy!

Feedback please on what I hope is the final version of Northamptonshire Carers website

If I am lucky, my 5am workings on this site are now over and I can get on with some less pressured activities.

 

Today I started by collecting a new buggy for Daisy & Sean (Josh mainly) that they had bought from ebay. It matches the one they already have except that it is lighter and has just three wheels instead of two.

I followed that by taking their Quinny buggy to Matt & Anne for Imogen. We were late then for getting Zoey to Kris so I made a detour to town to get Zoey to meet Kris there. From there we headed off the Wisbech to drop Sean and Daisy off with Josh at the home of Emma & David, Sean’s sister and her fella. Back to Northampton for a meeting with someone which went really well. I collected Deej from the station as he’d been in Milton Keynes all day with a friend, we then went to Buddies where we had a lovely meal which I really couldn’t eat and was falling asleep over. From there to Sainsbury and then finally home to drop and chill.

Yesterday was, thankfully, a quiet day with only an hour at Zoey’s college, a meeting with Daisy’s solicitor and an evening at the school with Daisy waiting around forever for her teachers to speak with.

This weekend we are planning nothing except maybe nipping out to eat, hours in bed, no contact with anyone any more than we have to … we’ll see.

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 ...
