Today Jayne has gone down to Worthing to watch the girl play rugby. I had intended to sort out the loft, which was going to involve some sawing and screwing. And then I realised that Jayne has left my keys in her school office and, obviously has her keys with her, so I can’t get […]

Ambulance chasers
October 15th, 2004 · Comments Off on Ambulance chasers · Life
Jayne returned from her school trip today, and amongst her mail that was waiting here for her was a cheque relating to an injury claim of hers. The thing is that we are both happy it has arrived: not because of the money, but because it means she no longer has to deal with the […]

Crawley Hospital
October 14th, 2004 · 3 Comments · Life
I had to go down to Crawley hospital this evening with the eldest boy to get the stitches removed from his arm. The hospital has had a lot of reorganisation lately and the casualty department has been downgraded to a minor injuries unit or walk-in centre or whatever they call it. This has generally been […]
Spiders

This plague of flies is a fairly recent phenomenon. Ever since I can remember, we have had spiders in this house, and I don’t just mean little money spiders: I am talking about the chunky ones with legs at least 3cm long. I don’t think a day goes by without me seeing at least one […]

Flies

For the last few weeks we have been suffering a plague of flies. I had expected, or hoped, that with the weather turning cold and wet they would have disappeared by now but they are still everywhere. Whenever we have been shopping we have looked for fly spray but found none. Either the manufacturers have […]

Teenage speak

I had an embarrassing misunderstanding last night with the teenage daughter. (Well she’s twelve but acts like a teenager) She was talking about the stuff she needed for her rugby practise and said she had to remember to take her shin pads and muff-guard. I had never heard of this piece of protective equipment and […]
Home Alone

Jayne is away this week, taking a group of 10 year-olds to the Isle of Wight for a week. On Monday I got my normal train home, then walked to her school to pick the car up – a good 20 minute walk. When I got home there was not really time enough to relax […]

Jayne and the kids all went to Hastings today. Chrystal had rugby training and a match down there, so everybody went as thats where Jayne came from and she has lots of family to visit. Meanwhile, I had a bit of a nap then walked down to the town centre, had a bit of a […]

Saturday Football

I decided not to go and watch Crawley Town play Northwich Victoria at home today, and instead watched Barnet play Dagenham & Redbridge on Sky Sports. Good job too – the Crawley game was a 0-0 draw while Barnet won 5-0. It was good to see Conference League football on TV though. They are showing […]

New sounds
October 8th, 2004 · Comments Off on New sounds · Music
To celebrate the end of the week, I popped into the shops at Crawley on the way home and picked up some new CDs. I don’t know why it is, but if I buy a batch of CDs I never get ones that are similar. You would have thought that I might be in, for […]
