While spending the last couple of days at home, sick, I was concerned that I wouldn’t make it on our vacation to Brugge. This morning I didn’t feel terribly fantastic but made it anyhow. The new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras was a bit of a disappointment. It was very clean, the structure of it [...]

Instead of pampering Don on his birthday he was looking after me as I still wasn’t feeling too well. I hope to be well tomorrow for our birthday trip to Brugge. Sigh.

Thanks to people in the office being “heroes” and going to work with bad cold’s I have now caught one. Not happy since its only two days away from us going on vacation to celebrate Don’s birthday. I felt fine this morning but by lunch time I was feeling queezy. When I got home this [...]

Went downtown to get our hair cut today, boy did I need it, but mainly to smarten up for our mini-vacation later this week. Went to Paperchase to get a few little things. We tried out Hamburger Union in Tottenham Court Road…my score for this restaurant is 4/10 for the following reasons: It was quite [...]

Majority of today was taken up by visiting my father in hospital. I left at 10:30 and took the train down to my parents place, took just about 90 minutes. My mother and I drove to the new Queens Hospital in Romford – they did a great job with that building. My father didn’t seem [...]

Better end to the week. I didn’t have to go into work until later this morning because I had a meeting near Waterloo. It was with a company called Viadeo who I am currently collaborating with, you can see my account here. Took a couple of pictures near Waterloo on my way to the meeting, [...]

Certainly was another stressful day today. Really high pressured day at work, not due to the work load or any of my colleagues, the whole situation which I can’t talk about here right now was bad enough to cope with. Received a call from my mother to say that my father had been rushed to [...]

Certainly this is not a good time right now. I feel quite stressed. Today my father was taken to the A&E, he was coughing up blood in the nursing home which wasn’t good. One of the nurses from the care home went with him to the hospital and my Mum went there as soon as [...]

This morning we got up early and went down to see my parents. My mother gave Don his birthday presents and a cake (see picture) – he won’t open his presents until nearer the time. The cake had happy birthday written in icing…however, she got it upside down. That was probably my fault as its [...]

After 18 months of exhausting hard work in trying to resolve the problems with our extremely bad behaved neighbor’s everything came to a grinding halt today. We had a meeting with the neighbor’s housing association, Environmental Health and the Police. Representatives from the freeholders and management company failed to turn up which was extremely frustrating. [...]

Only is Texas! There is currently a campaign to encourage those who let their pants sag to pull them up! At first I thought this was a harmless little jovial campaign but when I looked into it further its gone completely over the top. A legislator has even tried to criminalize sagging pants in the [...]
