This week I have mostly been….

Getting jabbed… AGAIN!

Boxing STUFF… AGAIN!

Contacting the various companies to stop various over priced services, and re-contacting and then contacting them again as I couldn’t remember the surname of the person who served me in Byron last time we were there so failed the security section of my call… AGAIN!

In France… eating Waahaaay too much… AGAIN!

Actually we spent a wonderful weekend in France as it was my father in laws 80th birthday, so the family got together to celebrate. We all sat around listening to fabulous stories from his youth, the war and everything else in between. And what a fantastic life he’s had, it made me realize that this trip we are embarking on is a good idea despite all the turmoil and strain. I want to have wonderful stories to tell my grandchildren but above all I want be able to look back and, hopefully, say I made the most of my time.

…SO I have taken to comfort eating and so to cap it all, rather than the buff look I had worked all winter to achieve, I will be THAT fat bloke who really shouldn’t be wearing Speedos but hopefully manages to carry it off with the panache of a French man on the Cote D’Azur. So with my Speedos leaving very little to the imagination I will proudly pull them up as high at modesty will allow and then will stroll up and down the beach looking bored and smoking Gaulloise cigarettes while listening to this:

The flat is gradually developing more and more of an echo as we dismantle, dump and pack our life, but it’s becoming more and more refreshing and liberating as we go. Although I am completely over not being able to find ANYTHING I need… sunglasses…adaptor… various cables, however I have found my old silver ring which will look fab with my Speedos! YAY!

So on that note, and image, I will leave you and go to dismantle something then lose part of it. I’m kind of hoping it will be my turntable which was one of those purchases that only a man can make where nostalgia and fond memories overtake common sense as it never EVER gets used!

Emptying it all out
