Are You Right?

All of us, unless we have serious illusions of immortality accept that some day we're not going to be here, that the great hereafter becomes the every day here and now and it's somewhat difficult to share out wisdom without greasing the palm of someone and things getting a little spooky.

So, I decided that when I have thoughts or after I've just shared some advice with someone, I'll write it down as a record long after I am gone or, at least until the domain name expires!

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...

Another horrible week over

Spent a nice evening round Nick’s house (Jan’s too). Managed to get the network going, I mean, connection to the broadband on Nick’s PC which I was really chuffed about as I don’t like to think of him not being connected, I know how I would feel! Jan looked tired by then, the news about her friend Val can’t be helping there, poor Jan. Rich looked knackered too coming to think about it.. good thing they are both having a holiday! Looked through Nick’s pictures of his US visit and I so want to go, one day I shall and I am really pleased he had a good time, he needed that break too and a chance for him to travel away from me, proof that he doesn’t need me to have a life (which I hope he knows by now anyway!) Made the decision today to get Jermaine in nappies, it’s the only way we are going to be able to manage here.
