So life changes. No shit Sherlock!'
Moved out of family home of 25 years standing last Friday. Big shock and blow to life. Now residing as a bachelor with number 2 son in the Jewellery Quarter .
Logic was - if you are forced to make a change (which I was) then do it big!!.,
Hmmmmmm early days but city centre can be a lonely place at 56 years old! If you go certain places you are perceived a letch, others won't let you in and some are full of kids younger than mine!!
I know I have got to adapt but at 56 I can't remember what it's like talking to women not attached!
Anyone out there male or female give me a clue as to how to integrate please. I am an upstanding pillar of the communityish done loads but lost.
Anyway. Work dried up as well, so actually not a lot positive to report except the fact my good mates BW and M. Lardon are frolicking on some dinghy in Malta claiming to having drinks with the queen or something like that!
Xmas approaches. I now hate the happiness and joviality of it all I used to love it. No children to spend it with, no grandkids to spoil what is it all about??? Wish I could fuck off to a beach in Cancun or Thailand where my mate Edward lives.
Never mind give it a few years and I will be cutting lawns in FO with my pal the overgraduate then about 2 years later his wife will float us on the AIMS market and I can really retire!!
All the best to anyone who cares to read this, it is genuine and from the heart.

Milk and stuff
Oh you have got me started now!
A couple of observations -
The supermarkets say the RP has no relation to the price paid to farmers?! Hmm ok!
Farmers are producing and losing money in every litre! Hmmmmmm ok!
So a solution.
Farmers stop producing and therefore save money and supermarkets have no milk to sell so save money!
I am sure JM Keynes didn't envisage his free enterprise economy working like this?!
Maybe I am just stupid and all my years studying economics and accountancy were wasted coz the world changed once "Call of duty" was released!!
Oh well what do I know I am over 50!

2015 and already half way through
So after my last post loads has happened. The bit I couldn't reveal was the fact that my wife of 30 years served divorce papers in Feb 2014. Decree nisi achieved in october2014. So, I hear you ask where are you now?
Same place no change! Eventually got my head round it took a while I am not afraid to admit. Did my man tears, then found out one hell of a lot of detail so that made me toughen up. What was it Princess Diana said about 3? Hmmmm watch this space!
Can't sell the house though. Estate agents, bag of shit!
So to 2015. Number one son has got a school placement from September. Not without a lot of heartache and although he wanted secondary he has a great opportunity. Oh and in passing only gone and got the highest grade!! Is this the biggest chest and proudest Dad you have ever seen, you had better believe it. Tom, well done son, no one deserves it more than you, your dedication and effort will pay you handsomely in the future. I wish you and the lovely Kelkymeister all the best in the world.
Number 2 son. Hmmmmmm. He's only bloody gone and done it! Got a Diploma on his banking course only 1 year left to go and he gets the final piece of the jigsaw that society demands these days.
Now to El Grande Hombre, number 3. Finished his GCSE's, and Dad (moi) ended up taking him and a mate on a post exam, pre result, celebration to San Pedro!
I also had the company of MY dad! 3 generations together! Hmmmmmm, I don't recommend it! Although give Dad his due he sat in the Salduba with me until 2am waiting for the reprobates!! Having said that the lads were back on time every time and well behaved, I got about 5 hours beach time in 9 days so need to go back in September!
I had a lovely holiday in June myself with friends. Early celebration of my lovely mate Paul's 65'th. finishes this weekend at his house party celebrating the actual date!
What does the future hold. Abso fukin loo telly no idea!
Once the house is sold a new life of some sort beckons. I may be alone but she won't! Actually I will have some time with the boys so not all bad.
Who knows some desperate poor sighted female may take pity on this sad old git and keep him company ?
