On and on he goes.....

I had a lovely 'soup' from

the local soup shop

outside the office today

Spicy Chicken and Tomato

along with lovely bread.

Last night,

as I ran out to

post a letter

(do you remember the?, paper and stamp thingy),

I passed a lot of people

q'ing to get soup

out of the back of a kind van.

Then went inside again

to watch late night tv

where the well-to-do's

were discussing cuts in housing benefit

and how it might force people out

of their homes.

Seems like are already plenty of people

homeless

I bet the money for the soup run

doesn't come out of the tax system.

So fortunately

it wont be cut.

Today was full

of sunshine.

And warmth

Generally lovely.

Went for a walk

and saw this chap

also

soaking up some

rays.

It was so nice

that we treated our self

to a new

Tortoise .

We have called him Titus.

He seems pretty happy in the garden.

All we need now is a gnome

to keep him company.

I can't let the day finish

without remembering

that is 10 10 10.

Quite a way through the

ten year

period

where all the

governments of the world

promised

to actually do something.

What's your promise?

The pier at Hastings burnt down

The polices of the conservative party and coalition are crumbling

The price of petrol - maybe the car will have to go

The pole in my garden has bird seed hanging from it and even a few birds

The pub called the Ferry Inn has reopened in Horning and does good ham and eggs

The pretty Cheryl Cole seems to have chosen the wrong three

The poem ' my song is love unknown' is currently my favourite

I'm very happy that today I bought a clock. A task never undertaken. And this clock had been waiting for a long time. In fact it had ticked 1.67 billion times before I was even born. And every one of the ticks and tocks was the clock calling out to me. Well now we are united. And I am patiently waiting for the first gong. I am very excited.

I also bought some new slippers today. Not quite so exciting, but at least the house wont smell of rotten feet/slippers - for a few weeks. When will someone invent smell-less slippers.

The other exciting thing these last few days was the Miliband Muddle. Brothers battling out to lead the Labour Party. Not Old labour, not New labour - but apparently a new and optimistic generation. I wonder how many ticks of my clock before the General Election. I reckon about 63 million ticks.
