Yes, there is

Someone, and that’s all I am currently saying on the subject publicly.

 

My new car (Nissan Qashqai +2) is due next week. It’s in a dark purple colour, a favourite colour of mine I share with all the best people. It’s not affordable and I am horribly in debt but, for once, what the fuck!

 

Pleased to say that an extra special has been made this week and, on the whole, the house is tidy and clean and a pleasure to be in albeit a little too busy at times and sometimes at the wrong times but, no matter.

 

Awesome to hear some great mixes going on in the lounge and I don’t just mean the music either. No way am I going to say that ‘it is different this time’ because it is always different until it become the same we expect and have gotten used to. I would just like to hold out a hope that this different becomes the new normal. It would be by far the best outcome for all concerned. Apologies for the cryptic nature of this paragraph.

 

Got a new batch of coffee today for the Nespresso machine. So far, each has been excellent, do ask for a coffee when you visit.

 

Finally we have the breakfast bar up in the back room. It doesn’t work particularly well as a breakfast bar but affords us a lot of extra space, practical space both in there and the kitchen, it looks good too. As a bonus, I have not stubbed my toe on the damn thing because it doesn’t sit on the floor in the hallway any more.

 

I have learnt so much in the past couple of months I never knew I didn’t know and it’s great to know just a few new things about the world. I look forward all the more now to exploring it.

 

Are we going to win the battle trying to stop Mollie from sleeping where she now likes to sleep? I suspect not. She is a cat, they always win.

 

It is Danny’s 2nd birthday next Tuesday, I am still undecided what I am doing as yet, we shall see. On Halloween it is Tyler Leeding’s birthday and I have regret we are not friends any longer but wish him a very happy birthday anyway.

 

Pub Night at the Hopping Hare, Northampton on 9th November, would love to see as many people as possible

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...
