An Up And Down Week
All sorts going on this week, Harry starting Brighton Hill, England qualifying for the world cup, a dour day at Reading in the sun yesterday, and the conclusion of the cricket season.On Friday me and Di in particular, had had what can be best described as testing days, so we went to Clive and lesley's for a curry and washed away our respective bad days with them and Bri and Lorri. It took me a while to get sociable, but I soon lightened up and ...
what A Difference Two Years Makes!!!

Bank Holiday Weekend-A mixed Bag
I have had an odd Bank Holiday, as mixed as the weather, but one thing is for sure, I have not been in great form, phsically and mentally, carrying something around with me that doesn't make me too ill to function, but not good enough to be particulary sociable. If i am honest with myself, I think I need a long term break from booze and late nights.Anyway, on Saturday I looked at some houses which I am now preparing to make offers on before I ...
