July 14th

That’s a bit like Valentines day isn’t it only, not February, more sort of, well, if Valentines day hadn’t been chosen for February then it would have been July, I am sure of it. Not that it makes much difference because the love of my life lives 6,688 miles away on the assumption I was a very strong crow that can fly that far. It would also be a rather dull trip not flying over anywhere well know at all. Thankfully we have airplanes. The quickest route is a direct London/Manila flight, that takes 15 hours, add two hours to get to Heathrow, 3 hours waiting around at the airport, another maybe 2 hours from Manila. I could be there, if I left right now and a plane was waiting, at 10 to 6 tomorrow evening only then it wouldn’t be 10 to 6 tomorrow evening (Weds) it would be 10 to 1 on Thursday morning but, that’s so dooable … if we assume I could afford £650 right now and that a plane were actually waiting at Heathrow which it isn’t. So, even if someone had already seen sense and changed Valentines Day to July 14th it would still be the 16th before I could be with the man of my dreams. If I had the money I’d do it even for just 24 hours together because I am a little mad like that.

Love is not having to deal with things alone. Knowing that no matter how stressful the day has been, there is someone there to cuddle at night. I feel a lot happier knowing that there is someone somewhere on the planet, someone amazingly clever and funny that I am also attracted to, that there is that someone thinking about wanting to be with me too.

It is often comforting to know that the special someone is looking at the same sun and moon as I am or, it would be were we not constantly covered by thick cloud! Am totally sick of this dank weather. Forecast says it’s going to change Thursday so perhaps just the one more day of wet and chilly. I actually put a jacket on earlier … true, it was only for a few minutes until I realised it had got warm and muggy but, why should I even think of wearing a jacket?

Tomorrow morning I am having a lay-in, a good relaxed sleep knowing I can get up when I feel like it .. how many times do I promise myself that one?

Am wondering, will Dennis like things like ‘Bar Rescue’? Hmmm … How about Science Fiction? Actually, I’ve nearly finished all episodes of Stargate so he won’t have to watch that but, well, they’ll be more Star Wars and Star Trek coming out … hmm.

Dennis likes Disney, this has to be a very good thing. We have amazingly close taste in music, another amazingly good thing. Not sure about food yet but I think we’ll mash together a good selection of foods we both like … no bones and I am probably fine with it  :-)

I really want to snuggle on the sofa and watch some good movies together, how awesome would that be … hell, some people might even think we’re a proper gay couple, wow, that’d be amazing! We are, of course, a proper gay couple but, being single for so long makes it feel strangely exciting that anyone will think of us as part of a couple again. It is rather cool I think.

When Dennis applies for his visitors visa in January, I might ask some of you to write supporting letters if that’s OK? It’s not required but it can’t hurt right to show that we’re genuine people who are not trying to fiddle at all? We’ve got plans beyond that but, let’s stick to that for now.

Now I think I need to get on and finally get the track selections on the ipod so I have stuff to listen to in the car!

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....
