A very good friend of mine has just phoned me. A few months ago he was diagnosed with an aggressive and terminal cancer condition. No treatment could reverse it, they told him at the Hospital. A short time later they decided that they would, in fact, give him treatment, but that it would be aggressive, like his condition. Today he has just had a full body scan, and he's clear of all the cancer! Fantastic!! Brilliant!! The old adage comes to mind, 'Where there is life, there is hope'. God bless you Johnnie.
The first book in my trilogy "The Saturday Pledge - Rancliffe" is now done and dusted, including the cover, which has been painted by my wife. I'm now starting on the second book, "Britannic". Incidentally if anyone is looking for a Xmas prezzie/stocking filler, can I point them in the direction of Amazon and Kindle. There are two really good adventure thrillers there just waiting to be snapped up at bargain prices. One is called, "Every Day's a Monday", and the other is "The Tuesday Empire".....I have no vested interest, of course.......
The plumber and the builders have now left our place. Boiler's fixed, and ventilators knocked through the outer walls.
I suppose the 5 most terrible words you can ever hear in Spain are, " We've got to get the builders in". I rang them up initially and asked the man who answered if I could have a skip outside the house. He replied, "Go ahead. I'm not stopping you". I suppose that in Britain one of the great institutions is 'the Builders Bum'........that always 'cracks' me up. Spanish builders don't do that, they just never come back to finish a job if you've paid them any sum of money.
Talking of bottoms, as I was reading this morning it said that 'Boy George' would rather have a cup of tea than sex. That must be a great relief for all other homosexuals....
Most homosexual men I know are just normal guys who like to eat, drink, and be Mary.
I see UKIP did well in the recent by elections.The last time Britain went into Europe with any degree of success was on the 6th of June 1944. When I am abroad I try not to run my country down.....when I get home, I make up for lost time!!!
Christmas will soon be upon us. I love the fact that we celebrate the birth of Bing Crosby.
We're thinking of inviting a poor and lonely old lady around to our house for Christmas lunch. We'll spoil her with turkey and all the trimmings. Do you think £18.75 is too much to charge?
This year my wife is serving ice cream for dessert. It will probably be the only dish that is hot.
