Steve from England

January was when I was all excited. In love with my man Jo from Gensan, very much looking forward to meeting him in February and planning a future together. Christmas had gone well, Javis was still doing good and working with Zoey. Vodafone was still be annoying and making life difficult getting Sean’s number transferred to his new network but eventually got it sorted. Got to watch 4 films this month, Saving Mr Banks, 12 Years a Slave, The Railway Man and Walking with Dinosaurs, all worth seeing. Do see Facebook for a fuller review of those. If you don’t know already, I am easy to find by going to https://www.facebook.com/northampton   I also went to watch Matthew Bourne’s adaptation of ‘Swan Lake’ in Milton Keynes. February and I watched ‘the Secret life of Walter Mitty’, again, see Facebook for review. Shortly before I left for my travels I held an ‘Adios Party’ as I called it. The reason was that Mindanao isn’t exactly one of the safest places on earth for Westerners. It has a

Well, another Christmas, I’ve had a few of those now, how many? Well, you should know that already dear reader. 2014 has been a bit of a roller coaster year, strange I’d say that, I quite like roller coasters! I travelled all the way around the world this year you know, easterly all the way, that’s a lot of miles I’ve loved and I’ve lost, starting to wonder whether … well, there may be someone, watch this space. Time shall tell, no rush. Too much time has been spent in hospital either as a visitor or a patient, not one of my favourite places. I have been shit on from a great height by at least two, if not more people this year, actually, it’s quite a few more if I am honest with myself about it, not a good year for respect 2014. Oh boy, the debt, hell there is too much of that. Too much of a lot of things we could all do without this year. But, on the whole a lot of good happened, there is always good in amongst the bad, it’s like that, life. I’ve learnt a lot more this year a

Well, I stopped driving, that just got way too risky. Surgery due for next Tuesday in the afternoon, hell, they should have made it late Christmas Eve! I keep panicking it’s going to get cancelled. Ironically, after getting Matt & Anne to take Jermaine’s gift up to him, he’ll be here on Christmas Eve I am getting that need to be in the Philippines … I’ll just pretend I can afford it to make me feel better Been hearing a lot of stories recently about nasty things being said of me, bothers the hell out of me that otherwise decent people are spreading horrible lies about me. The more they share the information the more others will say there is no smoke without fire. People just don’t realise the damage they can cause with their gossip. Just when I thought everything was sorted with the sale of Dad’s bungalow, someone who shall remain nameless, has gone and put a spanner in the works! The property is sold but someone is blocking the money intentionally, it’s all rather annoying. B
