Not
felling so good this morning cos me head is on the move again. That’s a shame really
cos right now we have wall to wall blue sky and sun shine. Maybe I stopped taking the pills too early.
Back on them now though. Pills or not, we have far too much to do to allow us
to go out very far at all this weekend, or for the next three weeks actually. I
should mention now that there may well be days when I won’t be able to write a
blog over that same three week, so please bear with me.
We spent
most of yesterday trying to find space to store all the kit we have in the
kitchen. A good amount is going up to Kile’s place for a short while and the
rest we will eventually find room for somewhere. Today we need to get on and do
a lot more but at same I still need to start today’s dinner, a chicken stew
made from the carcass of the last full chicken we had. Kile is stopping over
the weekend again and I promised him a stew when he came next. Tomorrow evening
we will have a pizza between us, Saturday we will take him out for Big Mac and
Sunday we’ll have a braised steak I think. That will get most of the fresh the
fresh veg we have in the fridge before it needs throwing out – which you know I
hate doing.
Muppet
central have a new argument going on now haven’t they? Daft Dave and his cronies
have last a case in the high court over the bedroom tax, so they are going to
appeal the decision. I can understand why they would want to because a lot of
government policy could begin to unravel if they finally lose it. The issue at
hand is the so-called bedroom tax which is certainly unfair as it now stands.
Although the idea behind it was fine in that it was supposed to encourage
people living in a property that was too large for them, to look at moving to a
smaller property. The only people it really hit was social housing tenants. It
couldn’t be levied against those living in private housing. Jan and I lived in
my mother’s three-bedroom house and still received full housing benefit.
The
effect was to push far too many of those tenants into council tax arrears and
finally to eviction. When it was brought in many people saw the dangers in it,
yet Daft Dave and Co would only speak of the need to get people to move into
smaller properties. This approach, no matter what the subject, is called the
broken record way; that is when someone speaks on the subject they only speak
on the part of the record that matters to them, just like a broken record which
sticks to just one word when played. Another name for it politics. It is also
why I could never be a politian, I will not stick to a party line on anything
and will look at and find the right way to go for my voters and my peace of
mind. A cousin once said to me that I was too honest for my own good; he was
right, I am honest, but too honest? How can anyone be too honest I wonder?
This new
lappy of mine is pretty fast machine, or at least it is when I get it working
properly. For years now I have been using Firefox browser so I installed it on
here, but the lappy wasn’t having it at all. So now I have ditched and moved over
onto Edge, the MS browser. The old IE system will stop functioning soon anyway,
so why not move now. I kept getting ads coming up along with ‘a virus has been
installed on your PC’ message. This lappy has a month’s free trial, even if it
is only a very basic version. Yesterday I paid for a year’s cover of MacAfee
Internet Security. Once it downloaded and set up it has settled down my machine
completely. I was getting more than a bit miffed with it really see as I have never
had so many problems with any of PCs. Not that any of that matters right now
seeing as our internet connection has
decided to throw a hissy fit. Even the telly service is struggling but as the
song went, ‘I will survive, I will survive.’
And so we
come to photo time …

And today’s
funny …
Well, the
jokes on me today folks; I’ve spoken too soon and looking for a new joke source
I’m getting all sorts of silly things like Java updates, which I don’t want
after reading about the company admitting there are serious flaws in it. Sorry
guys, I can’t do anymore funnies right now.
