Another Last Day

Before heading off on holiday!

Tomorrow we head south to Ashford and thence, onwards to France on Sunday and Disneyland!

Our plans have changed, this is not entirely the holiday we planned. It’ll be good anyway. It is nice to have someone at home looking after the place for us.

Am going to miss, Anne, Matt and Immy but, it’s only a week so back soon enough.

This week has been eventful and, then again, not so. Promises were made, as yet, no sign anything is changing. That’s annoying because, as with Martin Luther … ‘I have a dream’. Sadly, as with his dream, it may take decades to come true, if it ever does! My general rule is, our kids come first unless we can sneak some time for ourselves in their somewhere. If we see our friends more often than we see our kids, we have it, totally, 100% wrong buster!

I was once offered a millionaire lifestyle. All I had to do was move away from my kids and just see them now and then. He was a lovely guy too, something could have worked but, you know what, it took me fractions of a second to refuse the offer. No amount of money or other incentive on this planet could have turned me into ‘McDonalds Dad’, that sad specimen that see’s his kids once a months, buys them McDonalds, hands over some money and then walks out their life again for a month … that is totally not me. Boys play with their toys, men play with their children.

Oh boy, the weather! I so hope we get out the country and all the way to Disney this weekend! All the planning just has to mean something. Was -5°C earlier!

Now 01:45, less than 11 hours and we’ll be on the road! Good job I don’t need sleep! Oh, and, Harry Potter too!

Write again in a week or so but, for now, signing off!

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....
