Up n Down

Am finding that as soon as I clear one lot of work, another pops up to take over and keeping up with it is a pain in the backside with all the interruptions I get most of the time.

As well, I am regularly getting some good news one way or another. This makes me happy  smile_regular

Is it really cold this evening or is it me? Just had a really warm bath and shut all the windows to warm up and, I hardly ever shut windows!

Spent too long trying to explain to a child earlier how, on Facebook, it is not done to download someone’s pictures and then upload them to your own profile as though they were your own and, worse yet, to tag someone else in them! They didn’t get it so I had to report intellectual property infringement. I mean, I try to be nice and to help but, when push comes to shove and they try and make an issue out of nothing then being right is being right.

I finally got an insurance certificate for my car yesterday, only took 15 months! I am so glad I have not been pulled over by the police on one of their routine stops!

Tomorrow I have a pamper day, am very much so looking forward to it. I believe I am going to get a good massage out of it as well which is just as well as they plan for me to do some ‘gentle’ exercise too! Have not had a good massage in months and I am so needing one to relieve pain and tension. I think I should maybe invest in some regular ones if I can afford it.

Should be able to book mine and Deej’s holiday for next year soon. No idea if we can afford it but, if I worried about that little detail, I’d never do anything, fingers crossed.

Christmas gifts … we have all major gifts for everyone already so we don’t really need any more hints. We may still get some small things but, for now, it’ll do!

I feel the need to have a party … who to invite and, do I need a crappy excuse for it? Don’t have long now before we go away so, before or after?

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 ...
