This morning as I sit here typing I feel fragile, not for any real reason just I feel like broken biscuits in the bottom of the barrel, too much time on my hands (yeah right), I'm actually sitting typing this without a title in mind so it could get messy, well you know my style I might just wander off subject altogether!
The week has been an interesting one both personally wise and work, well to be honest its been a bit of a whirlwind, lots going on not least I started my treatment which was.................wait for the book and buy the fecker hahahahaha, lets say the next appointment might be the interesting one, just watch this space! work has been manic, I know I always say it is but it was notched up a number of notches, a number of times I had to stop and smell the roses, I seem to be taking it quite in my stride but some others are suffering, so a pit stop to gather the troops and give inspiration for them to head onwards has taken up a lot of my time, time I can ill afford but I'm not one to see people struggle or for them to be left behind.....DAMMIT I'm a member of the Tee Hee Club we never leave a member behind. I'm a firm believer in Karma so I believe do a good deed it gets repaid, well not always but its not in my nature not to lend a helping hand whether its requested or not.
Then the youngest got the offer of a job on Skye (WTF) acting in the new .....well lets keep it stum, a new film with some serious actors, the only thing was she had to get there and back and pay for her digs, bit much as she has used all of her meagre savings going to college and the such like, a cunning plan was needed which was soon in place which soon went south, but she got there after thirteen hours plus! we got her booked into a hostel give her some spending money, we managed to beat the shit out of my bank account (please say some prayers because there's some extreme fancy footwork taken place and I know it's going to bite me big style!) and rather then her spending the same the length of time coming home we decided to head up and get her, yes you heard right ........road trip!
Keeping contact was hard as mobile signals are hit and miss in that neck of the woods me and the wife set off on Friday morning and headed northwards in and out of the rain and .....well more rain actually! the scenery was beautiful and me and the wife went with the flow and the sat nav (ooops) well as the day got on we both commented how we hadn't really had any mishaps, big mistake we had followed the yellow brick road to the wrong point on our destination, it had only taken us to the ferry seventy miles in the wrong direction, so there's us thinking we had twenty minutes or so to go when in actual fact it was closer to three hours, cue a very frustrating drive now in total darkness in worsening weather conditions, was it a ghastly nightmare no we enjoyed the time together with no interruptions from the outside world (well almost) we finally made it to our destination and were looked after wonderfully, the kitchen closed but they cooked us something wonderful and we headed upstairs to our lovely spacious room and a soft bed (ZZZZZZ) yes you got it I was a sleep in seconds, who would have thought? and I slept what the hell it was great even after all the hours in the car we felt pretty good(ish). we went downstairs and ate our "Scottish" breakfast gathered ourselves with the promise we would be back for a slightly longer stay for ourselves and not the flying visit we just had, we gathered the youngest and two new"friends" and headed back to home.
The journey back was uneventful apart from one or two bridges (don't ask) and we headed west as opposed heading down the east coast (with all the bad weather that was forecast) we counted off the miles as we got home, the scenery was nice but not as nice as the east coast and the scenery that we saw leaving the island as we had sped through the previous night in total darkness was just jaw dropping, if you get the chance go visit the good people of Skye and just look upon the awesomeness of the island! it takes a long time to get there actually its quicker getting to the states but trust me a nice long weekend and a camera is all I wish for, I'm not normally impressed but this was out of this world.
Back to real life, and the crushing nature of imminent death (that was meant not be funny not depressing, I might need to work on my humour skills just a tad) life it seems needs my full attention as I have been broke many times in my life (and I probably will be again at some point in the future) I just can't remember being this damn broke! friends who haven't seen us, don't worry we are alive and (sort of ) well this is always a bad time of year for us, but honestly I joke about selling body organs if I thought it would make a difference I sure as hell would, and that's the blog and I didn't mention deer speeding arseholes or the mention of feral goats.....exactly! too much going on and a chapter to write at some point for the new book which is going (finally) in the right direction, but first I have shit loads of work to crack on with it, the world keeps spinning even if I take time to step off, if even for just a little time!
The name game at the moment is "retired" not enough interest of late with the numbers going south (still good just the regulars most of the Johnny Come Lately's have disappeared so maybe its time to try something slightly different, as always thanks to everybody who does indeed comment and pass "critique" just remember I plough my own furrow so it goes where it goes I'm not the captain of this damn ship so until next time watch the skies .....incoming........Toodles!
