October 2011

Awesome time in Orlando, loads of pics and video which I may eventually get time to sort out! Great to be with Javis out there, we got along most of the time and, when we didn’t, we hugged and made up and maybe learnt a little more about each other. .
Missed Deej (obviously), actually, I get really quite home sick when away but, it’s good for me to recharge now and then I think
Good listening to WJRR, a totally awesome Orlando based radio station!
Been busy booking the next one for November with Robin. Still some things to do but the vast majority is now booked and paid for.
Suffered Jet-Lag for a few days after our return which must have lowered my immune system so I got some more boils, this time under my armpit … yet more antibiotics! On the plus side, I was starting a diet anyway as I ‘fit in’ too well in the US! The antibiotics seem to lower my appetite so, win win situation albeit I feel sort of crap with the discomfort of the boils and stupidly tired much of the time!
I am probably going to kick myself if I get this wrong as I didn’t put it in my calendar but, I think Zachary was born on August 25th and he’s totally awesome! I have been a terrible granddad and not taken any pictures yet …. bad granddad 
Still waiting on Danny due November 6th and Grace due in December! I think Christmas could be busy!
  I now have an awesome new phone (not so new now) thanks to Javis, Deej has my old Windows phone which is still awesome!
Family life seems incredibly nice and normal now I think. Hardly any arguments or bickering, power games or family politics all making being a dad just that bit more enjoyable than it usually is which is actually pretty damn enjoyable if I am honest!
Immy is growing up so fast .. getting herself to the toilet now already. I remember when Daisy was like that, in a huge rush to grow up it was lovely but, here we are, grandchildren later! Josh too is coming along lovely with his talking even though ‘no’ seems to be his favourite word. He is off for a special weekend with Daddy, gonna miss them both.
Still have the September finances to do, maybe over the weekend!
Hell, there is lots I probably should have mentioned like the awesome sessions on GTA IV on Xbox with the lads, visits to Kent including, to my shame, the ones I have not made! Various meetings, work … oh there are loads of things, sorry, too knackered!

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....
