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 ...

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....
