2013

The year led on from 2012 as not the very best time of my life but, there were some high points too. It was great fun spending the day exploring London with Tyler, Covent Garden, Leicester Square and the most horrible Chinese soup ever that tasted like last nights washing up water!

Didn’t the year start well? Do you remember?

Yes, much snow and …

Yes, tons more snow and, as if that was not enough ..

Yet even more snow throughout the month.

Come February and I was doing some experimenting in the dark …

Indeed, I was really enjoying my photography

A luxury break in June, my first ever water bed

One day in August I looked up at the stars and did what a friendly cricket once instructed me to do, I wished upon a star and, this is when I first started talking to Jo

Right now, the 8,000 miles apart are killing me but, hopefully this will be the last Christmas and New Years Eve with me on my own.

Another luxury break, this time to North Wales

I love finding bargains and negotiating down a price so I get luxury breaks for the price some may be for a tent in a field!

Sadly, this break also marked the end of the Seat Leon which was mechanically written off with the gearbox both myself and Adam had been going on about since we got it two years earlier!

And so, up to date … OK, so I left a lot out. If I am honest, the way I was at the start of the year I am choosing to forget now. I don’t want to and I don’t need to. It was horrible, I know that much and, right now, I don’t feel that way

One lesson learnt this year was, don’t let anyone shit on you. It doesn’t matter how much they’ve pretended to be close before, if they shit on you then, perhaps you are seeing something your generosity of spirit stopped you seeing before.

I hope my readers have a wonderful 2014

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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
