    Couldn't be arsed to write anything last night so this isn't what have you done today, its what I did last night.

    I had a lesson in politics and diplomacy. I was helping J in her official capacity by pinning posters all over the village about an upcoming planning meeting.

    About half way around this odd looking geezer, being dragged by a dog staggers up to me. He had about three teeth in his head and wore glasses so thick I don't know how he could see through them. Anyway, he stops in front of me and goes...

    "Fdnfndnci fled cd I'd gnjjimc dffepmmce dbnesmmm......"

    I screwed up my face in concentration, then..

    "Rosso odeon osdnddncciioo fdindeiejfov Kokomo"

    Still nothing, but I was beginning to take away an idea that he wasn't happy with what we were doing and, with this as a Rosetta Stone, started to pick the bones out of what he was on about.

    " diff no special place...... Ddododownhhb just for notices.... Coekdjcsvfi. On the church hall"

    Light dawned. This gentleman was taking offence at the posters, business cards and flyers pinned to the telegraph poles throughout the village and was trying to point out that there was provision made, specifically for the purpose on the wall of the village hall.

    I pondered his view for a moment and weighed up his argument carefully in my mind and said...

    "Why don't you fu........"

    At this point J arrived back beside me and said...

    "Hello, yes it's terrible isn't it, the village hall poster board is absolutely jammed with commercial announcements and business cards that there's no room left for official announcements and we're worried that important information isn't getting noticed by all the villagers. Let me give you some posters about the next council meeting. Perhaps you'd like to come along and discuss the problem."

    At which the geezer said "thanks. Dfifninild did friend my mate Derek. Ocd so foods of hhfdeee." Took the leaflets and walked on.

    I still preferred my way.

    Yesterday I went to London with the wife and ate at Nobu, a Michelin star restaurant for lunch, ate at the ice bar restaurant for dinner, nearly bought a belstaff h-jacket and shopped lots. So far this week there has been no sight of the bike and I go away for another 3 months in a few days :(.

    Got some great news to put my mind and shattered nerves at rest. My youngest son just called to say he has just been seen by his consultant and had his dressings and packing changed. The consultant, after doing a few simple tests said he was very happy with everything and so far there seems to be no adverse side effects of the surgery. He also reconfirmed what he had done, removed all the tumour in the side of his head again without damaging any of the facial nerves, but interestingly found a bit of bone ‘floating around in his head where it shouldn’t be’ and didn’t know where it had come from but it could have detached from a graft that was done a couple of years ago. Whilst he had him on the table he also decided to do a bit of grafting and re modelling of his mastoid (the tumour destroyed it the last time he had this problem) so with a bit of luck he may regain some hearing in that ear. There will be a lot more tests over the next few weeks but its all looking good. I went to see him on Thursday and as he was still wired to his morphine dripper he was not completely compos mentis but when I held two fingers up and asked how many, he stuck a middle finger back at me and said ‘one less than you dad’ he was also more concerned about how much hair had been shaved off. So all good news, its just a shame that my ex wife cant put her ill feeling towards me to one side and therefore make it a bit easier to spend a bit more time with him. It’s not like, just because I don’t live with my children that I don’t love or care about them any less.

    I can't be here all the time, Al', and with the village growing on a daily basis I just need to spread the load. Giv' came down on a fact finding tour last week and his advice was to wear a duck on our heads so that people could recognise the office and show it the respect it needs, and he's much more experienced than me, so it's got to be a good idea.

    That's great to hear, David, what a load off that must be for him, (despite his cool attitude to the whole thing), and to you and the rest of your family. I admit, I was on tenterhooks myself on Wednesday morning, waiting for your text. I was with a punter when it came and felt the phone go off in my pocket and my blood did run a bit cold.

    It's also great to see he got his looks from his mum. Hopefully, he got your temperament.:)
