Election Over - Thankfully

Not overly happy with the result but, not the end of the world (I hope)

Am finally getting my finances back on track, right on schedule so I am happy with that. It means I will soon be able to travel somewhere and that has to be a good thing as I do so miss travelling places ... I'll settle for the UK at this rate! I might be able to and I may have some money soon but, not for anything big, I'll leave those in the bucket list for now.

I need to spend some more social time with friends, not seen Chris or Tyler for a long while, actually, still waiting for that coffee with Tyler since last year, guess you're still busy with all the Christmas stuff  ;-)

Avengers, Age of Ultron, sort of awesome and the tie in with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a lovely touch as well. Amazingly pleased to discover it has been renewed for a further season as has Agent Carter.

Sadly, Constantine has been officially cancelled now so we've seen the last of it. It's a shame as it held promise. Main problem with it was that the main character just wasn't likeable in any way. He is a chain smoking drunk, doesn't go down too well that.

I've been having a clear out around the house. With Sean & Daisy now finally on the council waiting list I don't intend waiting until they go to downsize. Went through the cutlery, a lot of knives missing and not one complete set of anything!

2014-03-21 11.11.28That was me a year ago, I need to get back to that look. I've got myself out of shape or, more into a different shape, a much larger one! I looked good a year ago!

I was a stone lighter, that's 14 pounds to those foreign types or 6.3kgs and I felt good too (or so I was told)  ;-)

Am putting the negatives behind me now and moving forward with a new optimism that just about everything will now be so much better

With regard to travel, I need to replace some cups and saucers, I know what I want but I can't get it here but can get it in France so a few cheap days there thanks to Tesco vouchers might be called for. I need to thin out my collection of glassware as well. It sits in the cupboard month after month not touched at all.

I finally charged up the batteries in my camera though one is missing so I need to buy a new one. Actually, I can't recall whether or not I had 3 or 4 as either would make sense because the camera can take one but I have an accessory which takes two.

Anne is doing really well as Zoey's new Personal Assistant. Am really pleased about that.

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 ...
