The High's and lows

It’s a funny old thing really life innit.? I mean one minute you are high (and I don’t mean drug induced ) the next you are low . I’ve refrained from writing my dribbly chronicles recently as things have been very very hectic. I’ve changed my role at work and am officially on the same team as Mr T and Road Runner with my boss (back from off sick) Sasquatch. Although it seems I spend most of my time seconded to the council offices with another bunch of interesting people......but more about them for another day!!!!!!!! New role new ideas new issues to deal with I dunno it’s been tiring so today I am officially on leave till Tuesday next week that’s four whole days........I should be starting the chores......”Don’t worry Wifey” I said “I’m off Friday I’ll do all the chores then” as I set the settee on recline and watched Chelsea finish their season with less silverware than the mighty Pompey!!!!(More about that later) but now Friday is here ....I wish I’d been a bit more diligent throughout the week

So last weekend was a blast ....at Wembley for the cup final on Saturday to see the Mighty Pompey play Cardiff. The guy I went with Darlo (who I shall forever be in debt to for getting the tickets through our work) rang me Saturday morning and informed me that maybe I shouldn’t wear my Pompey top. As I took the blue shirt off I enquired as to why......”well ...the tickets were purchased by the job from Cardiff’s allocation” Nooooooo!!!!!!

So a few hours later we were walking up Wembley way the Wembley arch in front of us and as we were in the Cardiff end we had to walk with the Welsh into our seats. My dream was realised, here I was at the Cup Final . Pompey fans by far out sang the Cardiff fans. I noticed that there were about 10 people all around me obviously in the same job and displaced like I was, we all nervously looked at each other . When Pompey scored we all jumped up and screamed Yes!!!!!! (we are the only country to do this you know...everyone else shouts Goal!”) suddenly about a thousand faces all looked round in disgust.......we gingerly took to our seats and kind of hoped we weren’t to incur the wrath of the Welsh and get battered with a leek or something!...At the end of the match with the trophy firmly in Sol Campbell’s hands, to be fair the Cardiff fans around us shook our hands and certainly walking back to the tube station we were held up a bit and a Pompey supporter shouted

“Come on these Cardiff boys have got Wives and sheep to go home to!”

A very jolly Welsh accent retorted

“ Who’s got a wife then?”

Another replied “ Sod the wife “

So there maybe some truth in the Welsh and their sheep fetish after all!!!!



So after the highs of the FA cup and Pompey picking up more silverware than Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea the Sunday was taken up by Dubs in the Park (Vee Dubs that is) that was a good family day out ....We saw the “Flaming poo” a split screen camper ...brown in colour with go faster flames on the front ....unfortunately his wheel fell off....I mean proper fell off ....the Poo’s driver hadn’t tightened it up enough .....oops Twas a good day and Me,Wifey and the kids felt very relaxed for a change!
Then Monday was Band practice ..Bara banshik was in Dubai on his hollies so Woodster’s hubby stood in for our holidaying drummer. (No one can really replace our Barabanshik but hey! .) Now what goes on in the band stays in the band but fireworks erupted which has resulted in Woody leaving the band which was a shame but we wish her well and thank her for her hard work, as she really does take her singing seriously and does get full marks for the effort she puts in. So after a few days to reflect Stone Jesters are back on track. and looking for a singer .....to our surprise we have 5 singers coming to try out, two more who are very established singers who will cover the three gigs we have if we can’t find anyone. We have had some very reassuring comments from some of these singers who are playing the MP3s on myspace who think we are a great band . Sometimes in the face of adversity, something happens...which looks really bad ....ends up doing you a huge favour....role on Monday...bring it on we are strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So although my birthday gig has been kind of ruined .........we will be bigger and better for July I just know it!

Mother dearest as some of you know got rushed in to hospital last week.......she is out and about now and back to her tricks I know loads of you MD fans out there enquired after her .She is in the market for a mobility scooter at the moment (Dark Marge reckons that will boost my blogging material) she also recently tried making a phone call using her telly remote ?!?!?!?!.....
So that is it really ...a whirl wind update as to what I have been up to...oh yes only 11 days to my birthday everyone...that’s June the 3rd!!!!!!!
