Blue Skies

It is lovely to wake up to blue skies in the morning, it’s one of those ‘anything is possible’ sort of days but, I may choose to do nothing.

Once again I have woken up with a headache. I don’t know why it is happening every morning and it is starting to get annoying … thankfully I have something to take, thank you Robin.

Speaking of Robin … I’d like to thank him for being an amazing friend. Annoyingly he is undervalued, used and abused by too many. It would appear to that, at least my grandchildren type babies love him and he’d never have thought it possible to have any mutual feeling of happiness between him and a child I suspect! Kids make very quick judgements between good people and bad people.

I was watching some video yesterday of the Boggy Creek airboat trip me and Deej will be doing next year. Hmm, I got the feeling it has the potential to disappoint! I was hoping it would be teaming with alligators, huge ones and yet, all the clips I saw seemed to just have baby alligators and lots of birds with the focus on speed. Still, if Deej gets to see just one alligator in the wild it will be one more than he managed last time!

Josh is still teething, not sleeping well, not eating well and, it seems Imogen is in the same boat. Hopefully, both will be over this spell of discomfort soon.

James should be in deep shame for what he did walking out. Every week and month makes being part of Josh’s life seem all the more impossible. The more I find out about his life in Kent, the more angry I get. Josh deserved better in a dad and, thankfully, he has it, in Sean.

My previous statement about having sorted all the Christmas gifts may have been premature. It seems we really have not yet sorted all the gifts, back to the drawing board. The balance I never seem to get is, do people prefer quantity or quality, a couple of high value gifts or a selection of cheaper ones? I probably have that wrong this year, it doesn’t look right because some will have just a couple of gifts whilst others have several … oh, why does something so enjoyable have to be so stressful!

Down to Disneyland in a couple of weeks and I am really nervous and that isn’t good. I am getting stressed because of who is going and whether or not the personalities are going to rub each other, there could be too much bickering, too many delays and the whole experience is soured by not enough consideration to others. The trouble with my being this stressed is, as soon as I relax, I am near certain to get ill and, with so much driving to do and my being the only driver, that just gives me more stress!

Party tonight, I’m driving so no drinking (again). Not that I am much of a drinker anyway but, somehow, not being able to makes me feel like I should all the more!

Had a meeting at Coach House yesterday, all seemed to go OK. Jermaine was a little grumpy, seemed a little tired but, apart from that he was alright.

Tea and a late breakfast I think.

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 ...
