Janitor Ed

Just finished my first week as the "site supervisor" of a primary school.

I work for a large building and property management company based in the north of England. They built several schools through PFI's and sort of rent them back to the local education authorities.

The school is 7 years old but only looks 1 year old, the head moans that a large part of her budget gets eaten up by the arrangement, but all she has to do is look at equivalent schools owned and maintained by local education authorities and she'll see that the building she has is far superior in design, build and upkeep.

It's the early starts that will get to me if anything does. I work a split shift 07:30 - 11:30 then 14:30 - 18:00. That means up at 06:30 and out at 07:00.
That's quite a shock after the last two and a bit years of getting up at the crack of midday and doing whatever the hell I fancied.

Maybe I'll win the lotto and can retire again.

A man can dream....

One last thing err I go.


DEATH TO JEDWARD!!!

oh alright, just send them back to Ireland after banging their heads together.

Happy Birthday T

Today T is a little bit younger, so to celebrate we went to two of her favourite places,


first was her mum and dad's caravan for about 20 mins (we where on our way to her favourite place), then it was on to the...

...Orme.
Don't let the photo's fool you about the weather,



There was some nice colours to look at in the growing things, don't know what it is but it looked nice enough, sharp tho',

The views are stunning (on a good day)

J had a new hair cut today and you'd think it was the end of the world, but I think it looks very nice, despite the wind,
B had a hair cut too and so decided to strike a pose in an exotic location, unfortunately we could only take him here,

I did some weight lifting...

And we found this Roman well while out on our stroll, neat or what?


Here's a couple of video clips for you to experience the day as we did,










It was nice and we did have a good day, but bloody hell that place needs a bit more wind doesn't it?!

Geting there

Hi,

Got a night at home, well my place. Home is getting to be more and more where Tracy is than where I am.

Got to take dad for his chemo tomorrow at Clatterbridge hospital, so I'm staying at mine so that I don't have to get up at silly O'clock tomorrow morning drive from Neston to Wallasey then to Clatterbridge so that we can get thru' rush hour and get him there on time for his dose of jollop at 09:20. Look it up on Google maps, I did. Now it's no surprise about the miles I was doing on an L plate and why this car has not long left in this world

So this evening I've been in the kitchen and in front of the mac looking at photos and vid clips (some with sound and others without). Getting rid of the blury but keeping in some that you would probably bin. All this is for a slide snow that I'll be putting on DVD for the family, the rest of you will have to content yourselves with about 5 from each of the groups I kept, with the occasional vid clip.

But just to keep you going...

I know T is going to mince me for this....




But it's no worse than this one. This photograph has familiar (to me) people who have suddenly morphed into "Jake the peg" and one of Zaphods mothers, see if you can spot them...


...it's uncanny.

Now before I go here is something that looks prety but is evil and so very wrong, I took this vid during a change in driving. I almost needed driving lessons again on our return to the UK. And don't get me started about roundabouts!!!
