Kent was good!

I really must remember that I have a small camera than my DSLR! I keep stopping myself taking the kit and then wonder, when I am there, why I don’t have a camera with me! I think I’ll keep my orange camera in my bag in the future!

Made good time getting there, everyone seemed to sleep well on the journey, except me of course. Lovely to meet Dawn and the kids. Was great chatting, going over the park and generally relaxing, their new home is lovely and I really hope they’ll be able to stay there for a while now after waiting for so long.

Still getting stupid messages from Javis demanding I return this and that to him …. let’s remember for one moment the huge list of what he actually owes me shall we? Strange how, once again he can only remember what he wants, shouldn’t be surprised really, it’s how he thinks. Was dead annoying getting one today whilst sitting at Dawn’s. trying not to show how angry I was and with who, I think she worked it out maybe, shouldn’t happen, just shouldn’t!

Been looking at Robin’s car, it doesn’t appear to have any form of roof bar as far as I can see. That being the case, not sure where the luggage will go taking Matt, Anne and family to Brum airport? They could have busy laps! Just checked, no roof bars at all, not sure the ones currently on the roof box will fit at all but, if not, roof bars are around £130! If the luggage and people can’t fit in one car then it’s double cars which is twice the cost, one for people, the other for luggage. Bit of a bugger really, Matt or Anne, hope your reading this as I’m not entirely sure what to do and there isn’t much time.

Got reiki in the morning, that’s good, means I can start the day off relaxed, maybe I should turn my phone off as I don’t want any more stupid demanding texts ruining my day.

We have ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ at the Forum on Weds & Thursday eve, seems like a plan I think if me and Daisy are available. Bought a cheap squash racket for Daisy too so we can start playing squash if she organises some babysitting for the boys.

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 ...
