Merry Christmas

2014-12-25 00.01.21

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 about what true friends are (and what they’re not) and, I am a very lucky man. As someone once said, no man is a failure who has friends, that so true.

We are measured not by what we have but what we’ve given away, that too is true.

I am starting to think about a future I’d not have imagined this time last year, can it work? I don’t know, maybe. Is it a really sensible, well thought out possible future? Hell no! I’m lucky though, I have a safety net if it all goes wrong! Anyway, no changes for a few years.

So, it’s Christmas Day 2014. Anyone wanting Santa to visit is tucked up soundly in bed, right now, there is another man entirely that I’d like to visit!

Well everyone, you’ve got the best part of the week to make your plans for 2015. This year I am breaking from tradition, I have no plans for next year!

God bless us, every one.

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...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
