Most importantly
I forgot to mention. The race is on. What for? To get tickets to see The Rolling Stones play at the O2 Arena of course. I will tell all after the tickets have gone on sale. Wish me luck

Went to the pictures....
I went to the pictures / movies / flicks / cinema last night (depending on your cultural explanation of these things) to see a movie that I was looking forward to. The movie was EXCELLENT!!!! But....I got an unexpected bonus while I was there. I met, or rather, saw all the people of my home town who have bladder complaints. I also was introduced to all the kids in town who have to run everywhere, especially up and down the aisles. Not only that, It was on this night that the most noisiest sweets were being unwrapped and eaten. Oh! In case I forget, to the people who were sitting behind me, no I didn't want to hear about your problems with your partners thank you very much. Go outside and discuss your problems, not in my feckin ear. Apart from that, the movie was great. But a note to all cinema owners everywhere. Bring back the Torchie for gawds sake!!!!
Onto a different topic now. I am now the owner of a monk dog. What! You have never heard of a monk dog. Well. the story is, my lovely, beautiful blond retriever has had to have her head shaved due to an skin infection. As a result, she now looks like Friar Tuck out of the robin Hood TV series. It doesn't seem to bother her but it is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen on a dog in my life. Maybe I could start a new designer trend for the doggie world. Make a fortune selling them to idiotic showbiz peeps who are constantly trying to outdo each other.
I have just received a phone call from someone in this town and they have informed me of an event involving my son. I need to find out more. I have a few phone calls to make to confirm things before I confront him about it. Speak soon

The way I feel
This morning / afternoon I was wken by my wife. I had no idea where I was. no idea what day it was. Worse still, I had no idea who I was. I felt BAD. BAD. BAD. It took me a while to realise my surroundings and then some. Then it came to me. I had had a bad night. Not just any bad night. But a BAD night. What this entails, god only knows, but when I come round i feel like shit underneathe the pavement. not on it. That would be expecting too much. I know las night i went to bed feeling great. My bloods were fine. I had eaten. Then this happens. CRAPPNESS of the first kind. I test my blood 4 times a day to keep an eye on things so that i know how much insulin to take. i eat 6 times a day to balance out the amount of insulin i take. All in all I was just feeling the bees knees when i went ot bed. There was no alchohol or vodka involved. I haven't had a drink for a while. i don't know what the problem was. I seem to remember waking up at about 06.30AM in a pool of sweat. I sort of realised something was not right. I couldn't figure it out in my own mind. First sign of a hypo seizure is confusion in ones mind without being able to do anything about it. Not even tell my wife who is lying beside me. In my mind this will pass. no it won't. I am dying. No I'm not. Yes I am. It will pass. No it won't. Do you get the picture. I do. I get lots of pictures. all imaginery except for the fact that if I don't get help soon I might just die. This feeling goes on for ages. Eons and eons. It must last for at least..... 2 minutes. Yes, two whole fecking minutes. These two minutes in my life are responsible for how i will feel for the next 24 hours. TOTALLY FECKED. No energy. No get up and go. no will power to do anything. All my plans for this pleasant Sunday are out the window. Along with my eyeline as I sit there looking out the same. It means putting off today for some other day. So much for that old provery. Yes "I can put off today blah blah blah". Who cares anyway. I do. It's my life. It's me that this is happening to. At this time in my life I don't really care that there are people worse off than me. I will care about them tomorrow. Another time for that proverb. I am writing this now while I still feel the way I do. I couldn't do it tomorrow. Or later. This is a 'must do now'project in my mind. The worrying side of this is-----I seem to be having more of them. Is it because I am getting older? Is it because I am due a change in my life? Is it feck. I won't let it beat me. I have been living with this problem for 46 years now. I get a medal for 'living' with it for 50 years. Do you think I am going to miss out on that event in my life. Part party. Vodka vodka.
I will go now. I feel really tired and fed up and cold and pathetic and and and...... I will feel like this for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow will be a new day. Providing I have a good night
(All the above is a true event in my life that happens on a frequent basis. For those of you who have similar experiences in their lives.. my thoughts are with you)
Ta for now

it doesn't do exactly what it
No. It doesn't. Last summer during the nice dry spell that we had I stained the party deck with a product named for that purpose. Deck Stain. I followed the instruction to the letter. One coat on, leave for 24 hours, second coat on. as I have quite a large deck area this job took the best part of a week to do. When it was finished and dry I walked on it to give it the once over. there were a few spots that could have been better but that didn't matter. It was ready for the annual BBQ that I hold at my house for the peeps that I work with. The evening arrived and so did the peeps. Along with the usual gratuitius cans of beer and bottles of vodka. Of course. Who ever heard of a BBQ without vodka. Doesn't bear thinking about. anyway. The party went on to sunset and then the peeps started to move indoors. no probs with that. The next day / afternoon actually (I needed to sleep in for some reason. can't think why)I went out onto the deck to clear up the mess from the night before. Usual stuff. Empty beer cans. some, not many, unopened ones. The picnic tables to be put away etc. etc. It was then that I noticed it. There were some marks on my brand new deck stained deck. Not just little marks but whacking great humongous marks. Most of them leading to the BBQ and the picnic tables. It looked as though there was a great big line of bare wood. The stain had been worn off in places. WHAT. My weeks work gone up to pot. Over the rest of the summer months when the deck was in use, the marks got bigger and spread over a larger area of the deck. I got one of the tins of stain out and read the instructions. I read the manufacturers claim. 'IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN' No it bloody does not. If it did exactly what it says on the tin then it would tell you it would wear off in two weeks time after application. Present day. Yesterday I spent the afternoon stripping the rest of the stain off the deck with the power washer. Needless to say it came off so easily. I now have a bare naked wooden party deck, ( all I need to go with it now is some bare naked ladies)( can be arranged, Canadian group's music playing on the cd player) I think this is definitely a case for a rather stern letter of complaint to the manufacturers. This cost me £125.00 in stain. I wonder will they reimburse me. Somehow I don't think so, but I will write to them anyway and see what happens. Next job on my list will beeee......? Who cares. I will do it in my own time.
Cheers
