2 November
Day two of NANO; I got 2028 words done yesterday and
David Oxford has had a bit of shock, both at home and in the office. Today I
will take the story on by going backuds a few months.
On Friday Jan decided that she was going to have a day
off church today. I suppose I should go and wake her seeing as it’s 10.15 right
now, but how can I say this without it sounding critical … right now I am
enjoying the solitude; maybe I might leave her sleeping for a bit longer.
As for me and today, I was thinking about going over
to Brum for a couple of hours. Looking out the window at the grey over cast sky
and flat lighting, I’m p0leased I decided not to bother last night. I’m also
fairly cold sitting here right now, even though the heating is on.
We are in the fortunate position of being on a
community heating system where we pay £7 a week every week and that allows us
to turn the heating on whenever we need it. Far too often in this country we
hear or read of people having to make the choice of eating or heating. It’s
usually the elderly who have this choice to make, or at least it used to be;
now we hear of younger people having to make the same choices.
There can be no excuses in a country like the UK
having people who have to make that sort of choice. I have blamed the current
Government for it all, and I still do! The Tories have never like the Welfare
State as set up by the Labour in Government just after WWII. Whenever they are
in power they try to weaken it as much as they can.
However, the previous government lead by Gloopy Gordon
must also take a lot of the blame. His bumbling around bullying everyone didn’t
do much to help at all. The end result is the UK is in a dire financial mess
and someone has to sort it and pay to get us out of it. Right now, it’s the
least able who are paying the most. It’s the old story of the rich getting
richer and poor getting poorer. Enough of all that for now.

Funny time …
A cop
pulled over a car and finds a young couple in the front seat. “Where’s your
seat belt young man?” asked the cop. “Oh, I just took if off now when you were
walking up to the car”, responded the man. “No you didn’t!” exclaimed his wife,
“you never wear your seat belt!”. A little taken aback, the cop asked to see
his license. “Aw shucks!” cried the man, “I must have left it home!” “Yeah
right!” screamed his wife, “You know it expired 3 months ago!” At a loss for
words, the cop asked the woman “are you always so tough on him?!” “No”
responded the young woman, “only when he had too much to drink!”.
