Anyway ... several months have passed and the last post was about me going to meet Dennis and, as you can see from the pictures, that's what I did and it was totally and awesomely amazing. We got on really well again, we argued and discovered a lot more about each other in the process and feel much more deeply in love than I thought was possible. Did I mention we got engaged too?

So, that was all excellent stuff and then ... the not to excellent stuff!

Zoey didn't react well to the care home, indeed, she regressed to the point she was put on a section again. That was back in May. Only now, and it's the third week of August is she settled again. She's also living in her own flat so, once again, from the depths of despair comes something good. There are still more things to iron out but it's looking good.

I am currently in more debt than I can handle, it's all rather terrible actually. One of the down sides of Zoey departing was that we also lost her contribution to the household budget meaning I personally cannot afford to live in my own house. It's only by virtue of Sean & Daisy paying that we're keeping it going. I've also got a large debt to pay off plus, as we've started the visa process for Dennis to come here that's zapping the savings even quicker than I thought possible. Come next month I can't see where the money is coming from but, the things we do for love and, I can but trust that somehow we'll get through it.

I put weight on again since the last report. Not a terrible amount but I am not happy.

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 ...
