What a peculiar year this is turning out to be. Soaring like an eagle for 6 months to now be plumbing the depths like a bottom feeder. Is my mettle up to it? Can I do the big dipper any more? More importantly do I give a flying f...?
Most of the house has had a facelift hence all the surplus furniture and ornaments stacked up in the garage making it a useless space. The kids still treat it like a dump and leave stuff all over the place, this leads to Mrs B to go off the deep end Lecturing anyone in earshot ( most people cock a def 'Un) about tidiness and how at their age she shouldn't be clearing up after them, whilst at the same time picking up and folding aforementioned offending items. A slight irony I feel, I did bravely once venture to suggest that if she didn't pick them up then at some point they would have to, only to be told I was an idiot, I knew nothing and how could I live in such a pigsty? I ventured to suggest I would place them in a black bag and place them in the garage (before she had filled it with now unwanted treasures), to which she replied - idiot and what will they wear? Hmm I said perhaps when they have run out of clothes they may realise and not leave then lying around! Ha I felt moral high ground to me!
Don't be so ridiculous they are only children once and soon they will be gone! (not soon enough I muttered under my breath)! Only goes to prove women really are from Venus, or was it Mars or perhaps it was my garage after all!

Life is a roller coaster and I wanna ride it!
That would make a great song line!
It also reflects my life at the moment. Emerging from a highly stressful summer that not even 4 weeks in Spain could sort I have now hit the bottom of the trough. Work has dried up
leaving me with some horrible problems to deal with. Son number 2 is fully ensconced in London town just outside Camden and he has a reasonable flat, although it looks like cell block H from the outside , he has his independence, he has a base and he is happy. It is still at the cost of a Kings ransom and we have just found out Dad has got to pay this years tuition fees as well. I really feel bled to the point of unreasonableness. I have paid a lot of tax and now they have the second pound from the same flesh.

I haven't read the detail but it must be a mute point that enables the FA to contradict a legal ruling. However leave that one to the Overgraduate to explain next time I see him.
New developments
Mrs B mentioned whilst on holiday that she may start swimming on our return as she was feeling uncomfortable!
I took this with a bucket of salt but as she mentioned it on our return I felt obliged to appear interested. We were at dinner the other week at friends who mentioned they had joined Fairlawns. A bit of thought and I suggested we have a look. So we did.
"my own mini Hoar Cross Hall" she uttered as we came out and I knew that was it! I must admit I was impressed at the thought and detail that had gone into the provision of the facilities. So yes you guessed it we are both now members!
So we go for our health assessment prior to our programme design.
Guess what - I failed!
Blood pressure too high so a letter has had to go to my Doctor for his approval that exercise will be ok for me!
In the meantime I can use the sauna, steam rooms, swimming pool, lounge, spa facilities. I may get to enjoy this and not want to go to the gym anyway!
Bit of a dark place at the moment trying to kick myself out of it!
