What no one ever said to me …

I remember my maths teacher telling me how long I had left at school and to do maths, he said if we didn't worry about sleeping that in a little over a few days we'd be finished and, it seemed to me, that school would never end. I can grab that feeling now as though nothing new would ever happen in my life and always I'd be just a school kid.

Well, that was a while back now, the late 70's and, yes, we were in colour back then! I laugh because even years after leaving it was still obvious I'd not yet earned my adult wings, that didn't happen until I was early 20's when the world seemed to finally accept I qualified as an equal!

Take my advice though, it doesn't matter what you do in life just as long as you are always true to yourself. Don't try to be what others want or what you think they expect, be the best you can be for you. If you can possibly avoid it, never forget being a kid is fun. I don't mean a teen getting pissed etc, I mean, a genuine innocent kid who just knows how to have fun. Enjoy life and try to remember every bit of it, good or bad, it is what makes you who you are.

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...
