Wonderful 52nd Birthday

June 4th 2015 and it was my 52nd Birthday. A gloriously warm day, no rain, just lovely blue skies all the way.

Robin started the day off by treating me to breakfast at Buddies USA over near junction 15 of the M1

I am normally not over impressed with Buddies, bad service and all that but, thankfully, I made the right choice with Grange Park

In the morning, after breakfast, I headed over to Irchester with Daisy so we could mess about in Jungle Parc, one of those High Wire try not to fall out the trees sort of places and it was a great laugh. I've been before and this time I was pleased to say that I actually didn't fall off anywhere and generally speaking managed to land just about right on all the zip wires.

Me & Sean went for a 3 mile bike ride in the afternoon then, in the evening we headed over to Bella Italia with Matt, Anne & Zoey for a wonderful evening meal.

I should also thank Clare & Donna for babysitting the grandchildren so we could spend the evening together, much appreciated. Clare also baked a delicious cake for me full of fudge.

It was a wonderful day, one of the best birthdays I have had in many years and I can't thank all those involved enough for what they did. Even to all those who sent cards and messages, thank you.

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

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 ...
