It’s been quite a while since I have been on to write for you, the fibo has been playing up and I have been so tired, as well as the intensive pain so intensive I broke a tooth and bit my lip biting down during a spasm ok stopping now tired.
Will go far.
Today I woke early, no I had not pissed the bed, well not on this occasion anyway. Why then? I hear you think, because today my two beautiful granddaughters are coming to stay for a week. I had to drive 356 miles to Stockport to meet my daughter in law and my girls, yes they are. So 7.30 off I go a very uneventful drive, the satnav behaved except trying to find the train station, well its not its fault that Stockport road system has changed. So why if they live in Wales are they get the train to Stockport instead of going all the way to Scotland, the 12 journey and costing a fortune, or fly, my gd’s are 5 and nearly 3 the airline wanted £600 for a 90 minute flight. So overall it was cheaper for me to drive to get them and they would get the train. My girls were so surprised and excited to see me as they were told that they were going for a day out. Their excited faces, screams of joy and wonderful cries of granda, granda. That alone was worth the drive never mind them staying for a week. I would drive 10,000 miles just to experience that moment of surprise again.
It’s Christmas Day
No I never got a computer for Christmas, I have been online since 1997 when I changed from film camera to digital, I wish someone had bought me the computer for Christmas as it cost me £1500, yes for a 20gb hard drive, 256mb of memory, I did get a 17inch monitor. Look how far we have come since then, children are almost born with a mouse in hand, learn the lingo within the first 3 years of life and on the BBC kids pages by the time they are 4, you ask a child or even a teenager what a floppy disk is and they possible wouldn’t know.
So this blog isn’t really about computers and the history of, but about me, my life and my photography.
So who is me - Well this is the internet and I am not really going to expose my personal details to the world. I have had an internet stalker and I am not going through that again, no sir/madam no way.
They call me disabled, the people in the government who control my life, those who tell me what illness I have, those who tell me what tablets to take, those who supply me with the aids they say I require…..thank feck they do or I would be lost without them.
I am disabled, but I don’t let that stand in my way, except the days that I am in so much pain and depressed I don’t want to do or go anywhere. The days I can, in my hand is a camera, the camera is my life, it keeps me sane, it keeps the bottle of tablets away from my mouth followed by a huge glass of vodka, even though I never drink and haven’t for over 4 years now.
What else stops me just look at this photograph, not taken by me I might add before the copyright police hunt me down and beat me with rolled up copies of the copyright act. This is my wife, me of course and my two beautiful granddaughters.
