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

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 ...
