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.

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...
