After 3 weeks

Had my eye surgery, still not quite healed yet but, every day gives me better vision and it is nearly at the point it was prior to me getting the lump in the first place. Still having the antibiotic gunk in my eye each day which I don’t like at all!

Had some nice chats with some dear friends, sadly, two of them ended up paying a lot out with parking tickets but I really did appreciate everything they did for me, helped me clear my mind and come to at least some decisions on some of the issues bugging me.

My birthday was really good (June 4) with Daisy, Sean & Adam paying for me to go on one of those mad climbing through the trees, zip wire and balance things … was quite awesome, forgot how much I enjoyed those things! Thankfully I didn’t copy my last attempt at something slightly similar in Florida and go arse over tit down anything! Got taken out for a meal with Matt & Anne which I also really enjoyed. I am sure I am more content with activities than I am with stuff.

We are all set for Spain (nearly) and really looking forward to it!

It appears I have still not won the lottery but then, maybe we need to wait until there is some sort of record involved? Personally, I’d settle for the £126,000,000 currently on offer. That still earns nearly a million a year in interest! I reckon that may just be enough to live off.

Looking forward to Saturday with Nick, it promises to be an interesting performance.

Had a party last Saturday and I am so glad it wasn’t to celebrate my birthday as some may have thought. From my point of view, it was a total disaster to the point it is unlikely I’d bother with another!

As I thought, with me fast approaching 50, the local authority have withdrawn many of the over 50 reductions on leisure activities! Always the way is that!

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...

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
