And Another long overdue update.

We've booked Romania - 2 weeks today! Bears and waterparks and castles and underground ferris wheels await.

Colliedog and I went out in the DogBus yesterday for a competition. Her first one back. Ran well, no frilly as unfit. Spanieldog stayed at home. I feel her time is rapidly coming for retirement. She's starting to get a bit wobbly on her back legs. I can't bear the thought of her getting old. 

Mother is still here, still making comments about my weight. Still driving me potty. I can't bear it. Brat is still looking for another job.

I somehow passed my probation after being warned it was 50/50. I did what they wanted of me to improve but now the goalposts have changed again? I dont even know. I hate it. No idea why they didnt bring this up when I had my probation review and they told me they were pleased with the effort I'd made and now its not the right kind of effort?

J took me out for my birthday and we had dinner in the Hard Rock Cafe and did the Crystal Maze and I won a crystal and got to be in the dome! Start the Fans Please! and all that jazz. 

 The hospital thinks my surgery will be "towards the end of the year" according to the call I made shortly after my last post. Its been a month since then I'm going to call them again this week.

And Charlton - my very first original reason for starting this blog have started the new season well. JA and I went to see them at the London Stadium. A souless bowl but we played well - from what I could see from my distance corner! And won 2-1. J and I have tickets to see them play Spurs at their new ground midweek in the carabao cup. Life is alright guys. It was a struggle, a real mental struggle at the start of this year, miserable at home, miserable in this new job, trying to support J and the Brat and Mother. Amazing how the car and the freedom it gave me has helped that so much.
