Just an update, Facebook is evil and takes up far too much time and lessens blogging. I should minimise my use there.

Things, that is most stuff generally are going quite well. This should be the year I get back on the road seriously. Travelled to Blackpool by train for a conference. Stupidly I forgot my railcard so got clobbered , even when I provided the railcard number. I shall complain.

I'm off to Tenerife for Holiday in December, and looking forward to it.:) Should be 2 weeks of sun and fun:)

Courtesy of the system and local council I know have a cleaner/semi PA to help out about the house. Both my parents are OAP's and mum's deserves it, as she's been my carer for so long., and is now so for my home treatments. It's making a difference already, starting in the kitchen.:) The social worker did say that it was a shame we didn't get in touch sooner. But when you are in some situations you give up and get on with it. People are like that.

31st Im having a little social thing at a local pub:) There's a chance of an after/halloween do at another pub as well. :) Could be a good night.

One of our cats died not so long ago, which was sad event for a lot of people. However he had a very good life and a lot of love:)


This weekend, has been a weekend of socialising, again of sorts. Met up with a mate from Cambridge, and had lunch. He'd previously left camera and coat behind so was a purposeful visit. Always good to catch up with friends.

Tomorrow the plan is to dine with a another friend of mine, who's company I enjoy.:) Looking forward to that:) The weather should I hope be better as well:)

Thats all for now:) Enjoy your weekend folks, whats left of it

Things have been a bit wild the past few weeks.

New things. A social worker has been introduced into my life. Watch this space. She gave no promises, but will talk to us again in 3 weeks.

I was at the Outsiders 30th anniversary party, more on that perhaps later, but it was an event to remember, with a sensory fashion show, live ad-lib theatre and a pleasure island:)

I am off to Hamburg next weekend, back on Tuesday. for this conference, as I've been asked to speak there. As this is the first trip on my own for a long time, it's a bit daunting, bit exciting, bit scary, and has been HELL to organise. Usual late minute madness.

the following weekend, I HOPE to be off to the Bristol International Kite Festival. If anyone wants to tag along, meet up, I shall be there on SUNDAY.

More later, I've come back from a very nice meal with family at Sosta and slightly relaxed on white wine:)

Check it out, I could have sworn I saw Neil Morrisy at the corner table:)


Oh and my credit card bill bounced so now I have to sort that all out. I've rung them TWICE and they didn't point it out.. SWINES, a stiff letter on cardboard methinks... Once the bill is paid..

The link shows up on messenger telling you your friend has a certain number of photos up, and you have to share your login details to view them.

DON"T login. and if you do.. change your password on Hotmail/MSN to something very different immediately...

See the link for more details about how the scam works. the actual url of the scam is my cannon photos .com or similar. watch out for it.

Well I went to see the HP movie finally and almost wish I hadn't yep there was a teary bit, and a scary bit, a few bloopy bits, but all in all.. A bit of a drag.

I just hope really really that the next 2 are better..

Bruno.. The film looks like a good laugh so may have to go see that:)

Live is still the usual ups and downs, moving and merging from one of the different parts of my life to the next...

A trip to Hyde Hall, plants and kiting what a treat, was well worth the visit. RHS Hyde Hall is still developing and is worth a trip if your down that way in Essex.

Keep well everyone.:)

As I write I am looking forward to Spanish Omelette followed by Dutch Waffles :)

I'm also looking forward to seeing the new Harry Potter film, either tomorrow or some weekday before it dissapears off the screen (as ST has, I'm just too slow:))


Hugs to all:)

What a seat gripper, with a suitable amount of quite suggestiveness and a little humour thrown in. Are there hidden references in there. And did anyone else notice a very familiar voice amongst the officials in the meeting scene?
Bring on the next episode:)

Did everyone enjoy the first episode of the new series as much as I did, full action packed adreniline with a good dose of gor!

Brilliant:) Bring on 9pm tomorrow:)

Pruning pruning! It's all I've really done today, apart from checking emails and writing this. Mostly fruit trees, and a bit of pre lopped yew!

Had a meal and a good long walk with a couple of old schoolmates:) Excellent stuff

From Waterlow park, where we ate lunch, veg lasagnga but we did agree the portions were on the small side. We followed with desert, Sticky Toffee pudding, and Banofee pie respectively.

Onwards to Highgate and Queens woods, where we stopped for a cuppa, and a break.
Continuing through the woods, through Shepherds Hill Allotments, back home!

Planning of trips to Kew, or maybe Oxford arboretum in the works.
