In a word Mockney, Fantastic! Lovely weather, good food, good beer, great wine, friendly down to earth people, unparalleled scenery and wildlife and somewhere in the midst of all that we got married went on honeymoon and had the best time of our lives.


On the flip side failing infrastructure, pointless social and economic decline and frustrating politics. But I tried to ignore that on this particular trip.


Didn?t touch a computer or watch a television in 3 weeks!


But now it is back to the old Westminster salt mines.

I have been awake nearly an hour and I wish it were already the weekend... it is certainly not recommended to b having txt convos wiv drunken ppl on their honeymoon into the early hours of the morn if one if wanting to wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day ahead :(

In C.


This morning it?s the Westminster Blues. Like the Delta Blues but tapped out on keyboards by thousands of weary digits and sighed into a million mugs of Monday morning coffee.


But unlike Robert Johnson, who was made the grandfather of rock ?n roll in exchange for his soul it seems that all Satan is bunging us on this package tour to hell is a chance to finally buy that sports car when you?re too old to enjoy it, trips to Homebase on the weekends and the reassurance that it will all end in a Bupa care home.

My tummy hates me, mother has not stopped talking away to me from first thing this morning (even shutting the bathroom door and putting music on loud hasn't helped) and the smell of someone cooking brekkie in me 'ouse is making me feel... well rather yucky :-S


It's not even half 7 yet... darn I'm sure things can only get better... no?

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
