Suddenly a little light went out ….

In my fish tank and that bulb costs over £13! So, I have searched online and come up with some for under £6 which seems way more reasonable!

Popped over to Robin to swap the cars over again after our visit to Kent yesterday and, on filling it up was amazed to discover that Kent and back cost £45! Had no idea that sort of trip would be so expensive, that’s around 17p a mile in Robin’s car, thankfully my car is a little more economical but, not by much!

Met up with Deej earlier, it was pleasant enough but we never moved anything forward in our relationship. In time there may be a clearer understanding of the issues but, right now we are too far apart to get anywhere.

Bought a rug for the photo studio earlier. It’s going to need collecting but it’ll look good and was under £17 compared to all the buy it now offers of £45+

Still been feeling really tired today, I really should get myself checked out

Restarted Facebook … not overly interested in the main thing but I did need it active to get access to the Photo bit of it and, as I now have a working studio again, I need as much publicity as possible.

Watching ‘Hugo’ tonight as a family, I hope it’s good as Zoey has been on at us to watch it for months! Looked at the list of movies on our Virgin flight, seem OK, many I’ve already seen and some I haven’t which look OK.

Not feeling terrible social today, not that I have felt terribly social for some time but not today for sure.

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 ...
