Its a new dawn, its a new day

Its a new life, for me. And I'm feeling good.

Yes ok, not entirely original lyrics but I had the song in my head and it was apt. Last night at 5pm I received confirmation that I am a single man once more. So how do I feel? Give me time.

The blogging has been less frequent this month so here is a quick run down of some of the things that have happened:
Another birthday. 27 again. Life is short enough without having to resort to real ages!
Pam and I have been together a year. 14,000 miles and she hasn't let me down. This month I have broken one wing mirror and some eejit has knocked her down while parked and broken the other one. Grr.
Been away.
Lost a staff member.
Joined facebook (its rubbish).
Joined linkedin (recruitment companies need to adapt).

With my new dawn comes the decision to buy a little house next year. Not for keeps, this one is to learn. Property development? Well, maybe but I prefer to call it a roof over my head and a place to call my own. Though the market is not looking good.

It is the rest of my life that is looking good.

Surprise for the birthday 'boy'

Mr G Senior was 77 and was looking forward to a quiet evening in with Sea Bass, which admittedly is not a nice thing to call Mother, but I digress.

Receiving a card that instructed him to be dressed smart casual by 6.15, he was pleased to see Mr (and Mrs) G Minor (if there are 2 of them, are they a quaver?) who knocked on the door bearing champers. Some moments later, the bottle was drained and they headed off to a nice place by cab for dinner.

A chateaubriande, several lobster and several livers were damaged in the making of that dinner.

Returning at 11pm, Mr G Senior was rather surprised to see me in his hallway. Despite the lateness of night and the bigger surprise of young Jake, Mr G Senior was able to partake of a small libation with Major and Minor.

Unfortunately, small Jake was unwell all weekend with a high temperature and was off his food. Since this meant he only wanted to be very near me most of the time, I was not entirely put out.

For reference, the sea bass was a diversion to put him off the scent. But since it was going to go to waste, I felt obligated to dispatch it. Rather nice to be honest.
