Today I will be mostly looking at wild animals at Chester Zoo, with eldest grandson.
Those are THE best days.
If Iâd packed one of those head torches, could got 4 hours of Sudoku done
This is not mine but as funny as fuck.
My old man keeps telling me to turn the TV volume up.
" its loud already"
âI cant here the women speakingâ his reply
âSo you can hear the men not the women?â
âYes I have become used to not hearing womenâ his reply
" I have tuned out all the woman it stopped me getting in trouble" his reply"
" So what about mum?" my reply
" Never listened to a word she said in case I got it wrong" his reply.
I got âdropped in itâ today - had to take the Little Old Ladies on a Communist tour.
Basically a visit to Nowa Huta - a large suburb north east of the City.
Now the story of the place is interesting
The central park architecture is âdifferentâ and fascinating. The apartments of the âsuburbsâ are a cliche in themselves.
After taking pics of Ronald Reagan Square we went to the Church of The Lady of the Ark.
Now I am not a Church type but.
It was built in 1969 - hang on - they were all Commies, how did that happen?
Inside was âfascinatingâ and I was impressed
Itâs an easy reach by Tram from town and I am SO going back to explore the Underground and some of the (seriously) still Communist era Shops around that square. Was simply too damn wet to spend any time outside today!
Yes we looked at a wooden Church, and the Reservoir & the Food Trucks but we didnât have Scuba gear so kept driving
So, I have had 2 MRIâs and the Neurologist appoinment today to discuss them.
I have a Brain. Shock news for everyone. It has a growth - no, not a shock, 20% of all over 50âs have the same, not an issue, itâs a Cyst not a Tumour.
But.
I did break my Jaw when I had the sh1t kicked out of me at Arsenal Away when I was a nipper - that was never diagnosed.
So the PLEASURE is I now know what is causing Bi-annual attacks of Migraine like pain. No cure, meds turn you into a Zombie but can be managed. And no chance to have reconstruction surgery on a 40 year old injury - more risks than rewards. Meds can stop the pain attacks as long as I have them with me and donât want to drive for a few hours
Phew.
You canât beat GOOD NEWS at your age.
Got a text though saying Iâm no longer needed for jury service next week, fucking result!
Making the bus connection to your last bus home with a minute to spare after beers
OK, so the music is eek, but it is in English. But who cares.
Doda, the Polish JLo or something or
Ăikey.
Mrs P_F asks me to take Mum to the Nail Salon as itâs chucking it down, and announces I need to get my own dinner tonight.
Drop Mum, head to Lidl, pick up an Antykot(Rib Eye) steak.
And oh deep joy
They still had 6 cans of German Red Steam Beer left
Absolute nectar
And 7.6% as well
I now have 16 consecutive days away from work on hols.
Phone off, laptop unplugged.
Fuck âem.
Having completed building my new 8âx6â shed, ably assisted by young adult 2 and his wife, and a good friend who owed us time from 20 years ago when we helped her build her greenhouse. Metal construction comprising thin galvanised metal pressed sheets, and in the order of 10,000 screws with washers (it felt like that many!). General consensus was young adult 2âs wife (DIL) was the best screwed of the day.
Screwer!
The look on my daughterâs face when told I had secured her and her mum tickets for the ABBA show next summer⌠subject to extensive studies for her IB exams⌠Usually I am the dad that âYOU JUST RUIN MY LIFEâ - today I was âBest dad everâ ⌠affection easily bought in the MoT household
Unconditional love is a fickle thing and directly proportionate to the amount of wedge you spend
Indeed⌠this is going to cost⌠tickets were criminal, train tickets EDI - KX, 2 nights hotel in London, meals, cabs⌠women shoppingâŚ
Takeaways, beer and porn ?
Sadly, I suspect it will be a list of choresâŚ
