David Mitchell

Decided, for tonight only, if I could be anyone in the world, I would be David Mitchell. Funny, intelegent, rich, intelegent wife with great rack. 2 out of 5 ain't bad.

Bottle of port and light tea bad news. Night night.

Ps watched Tom cruise (is that his real name, surly not, who cares, pissed) in war of the world's ( first ten mins) recorded rest. Making complete bollox of 800 words per day. Zzzzzzzzz

PPS

Memsaab / Victoria Cohen Michell aura alike says must be up by 11. No hope.

poker night

Monza's mum Had jack the riper at her wedding! There was more Peter Sutcliffe stories but can't remember due to red vino.

Bit inconerant due to vino, I repeat myself, have I told you had some red wine. Learnt alsory of gossip, only can't remember.shoild probtstop now, but as only me reads this blog who cares.

Met Bro in Law to give power of attorney forms to him at services to take to mum. Another thing semi sorted. Sorry pissed ramblings. Sorted.

Lost at Texas and Omaha. Just cash to go. Have I mentioned my poker blog, think I did. Byyyyyye.

Update.  Classic from Jacko. 

Me how is home learning.

Jacko didn't get work done between maths and doing a jigsaw.

Dealing with Boris

Worked from home first thing, but forgot to get H up, so she missed first "teams class", bad dad.

Went to work. Working from home for next 6 weeks with visits to office for plotting syncing computer.

Told E got a place at school, not sure if that is the right thing to do. It is mentally, but this covid thing seems to be spreading fast. Our Surrey friend say just about everyone they know has a family member with it. Mrs Shed says said on TV 1in 50 has it, which I find hard to believe as added to all the people that have already had it must add up to a massive %age of the population.

Anyway what do I know.

Spoke to dad for the first time, sounded fed up, tried to cheer him up, but failed.

back to work and school - for a day

 Back to work, well for a day! I've come to the conclusion we have a government with a spinless Liar in charge full of school boys. 

Got an email from E's school at 5.15 about school tomorrow, and booked after school club. At 8, Blondie shuts schools!

H's school from a standing start had a fully working flow testing system up and running. Come to the conclusion we should drop Boris in the nearest canal and put Mrs L (H's head teacher) in number 10.

E taken it well, wants to Skype her best friend, looked shocked when said wouldn't go back before half-term. 

Getting frustrated with Stepping Hill Hosp, given up on"Patient Liaison Service, escalated to PALs, glad sis knows her way round the NHS. All very stressful.

Nighty Night, don't let Boris incompetence bite.

Devon and Lakes.

Got up before 10! Full day, went to Mum and Dads. Cleared snow of Dads car and put in garage. Took Mum shopping and dropped Dad's phone off at the hospital. Got home and booked first holiday for 2021! In Devon, body boarding her we come. Talking of booking time in Lakes with our Surrey friends. Knackered now so going to bed. Booked the lakes!

New Year's day (Not the U2 song) - daily or weekly?

We got up at lunchtime, no surprise there! Mrs Shed on lemsip for her hangover. Made a chilli for tea. Relax.

Daily or weekly? No not sex, but how often to blog? Think I will or maybe not, getting as indecisive as Boris! And that takes some doing. 

Watched Billy Connolly's last TV programme (why when this is Set to UK English does it suggest program, urgh.). One of my regrets did not see him live.

Off to see Mum tomorrow to take her shopping.

New year's Eve

Iratating morning, yesterday went to chemist to collect my prescription. ( They did not answer the phone to confirm that they had it) waited outside in the cold (0 Deg) as only 2 people allowed in the shop at a time. Hylo Forte was there but the other 2 items weren't. Walked to Doctors who said could not talk to me (because of covid) please ring. Went outside and rang, after listening to recorded message for about 4 mins got thro' to the receptionist sorry I mean one of the trained care navigators (I think the one who told me to ring up). Told to use the web site "which is very good" after I told her I had used the app they tell you to used which tells you to download another app and on which I left a message for a prescription because the button to re order prescription said doctor needed to ok it. She then sent a prescription to the chemist, but it would take a couple of hours to go through the system. (Don't computers work at the speed of light?). "Would I like to go back to the chemist this afternoon". Today we t to the chemist to collect said prescription, no pharmacist turned in so couldn't issue the prescription to me!

Went to Yummy Yorkshire this pm, very busy so gave it a miss. We round the corner and walked round the lake, then off to Dobbies garden centre to buy a present for H best friend. Mission accomplished, came home via golden arches for the kids tea. Mrs Shed and I had nibbles / anti-pasta when we got home, her ladyship put on a sparkling top, which made her look hot. Had Skype call with sis, discussed Dad and what to do, then kids joined in. Made a fire. The gorgeous one decided we needed to have a disco, knackered, 2:30 going to sleep.

attorney

Down loaded attorney forms today for Mum and Dad. Looks easy to fill in . May even so one for myself!

Just ordered on just-eat. Got a £20 gift card from work (which was nice). Then a zoom call with the Umps, which will be very nice. 

Watched Dunkirk last night, enjoyed it, but not as good as the hype. Must watch 1917 to see if that is.

Zoom lasted till gone 11.

Chilled Day - boring post

Chilled day at home. E managed to get her hair tangled in the drones propellers! Now it bumps into things! Arranged Skype for her and best friend tomorrow plus one on Wed and Thursday nights for us all. Didn't get up till lunch time, still knackered. Dad a bit better apparently, but still can't stand, his key nurse doesn't speak very good English so communication is difficult. Wondering if should go and see Mum later in week to do any shopping etc.

Tigers, birds, and Mr Darcy

 

Well big thing today was going to the Yorkshire wildlife park. tiger Thought would be a dead loss when arrived as baboons were all indoors, but because cold big cats more active. Going back in a week for the Illuminations. E really liked the sausage roll we had there.

Got home E decided to watch Mama Mia 2 (dvd in stocking). Mrs Shed wondered if there was a bottle of Cava loitering at the back of the drinks cupboard, wasn't so put a bottle of champagne in fridge, decided wasn't a champagne night, so had g and t.

Had another fire in the log burner with the free wood from H's friends M&D. 

The gorgeous one got concerned that H hadn't had a proper meal for 24 hours, she is my daughter so not surprised. However i'm not 13 which apparently makes a big difference. Really loving Mrs Shed at the moment, looking amazing on this keto diet thing, but then she always looks a top bird to me.

Watched end of Pride and prejudice ( Kira knightly looks hot in it even for someone who needs a crash course in pie eating). Funny watching Mrs Shed try (in vain) to explain whey Mr Darcy would be better for her than yours truly (and for virtually every woman born after 1813.) To E. Didn't go down well, Mr Shed ended up with big hug from E and snog from Mrs Shed. Almost called this blog The new Mr Bennett, as I perceive we are very similar in character. 

Then went in to watching I hate Susie. Liked it. Carrying on the theme, quite hot, but not for me. (Susie, not the show which we will complete).

Dad a bit better apparently, sis going home tomorrow.

Christmas days

Collected Dad's car from the rugby ground, surprising how you miss the near stde mirror. Not the best of Birthdays, but at least spending time with my mother!

Dad got acute Kidney infection amongst other things.

Sis came down to look after Mum, so I could go home.

Works Christmas do relegated to takeaway and a drink at work.

Smaller than usual Christmas Day. Went to pick up Uncle D, and Bro In Law cane down. Everyone had a really good time. H almost finished Lego Trafalgar Square. R took Uncle D home. Leisurely boxing day.

Finished something tonight I started in 1977 (I think). Star wars IX. Remember queuing round the block outside the Gaumont in Sheffield to see the original. In fact had to que twice as didn't get in first time. Wasn't very impressed, not worth waiting 43 years!

Dad got out of bed apparently in hosp, but still very weak.

Knackered, going to bed
