I spent 20 minutes holding my 18 year old son yesterday. He was crying his eyes out after talking to his “mother.”
Afterwards, she wanted to talk to me. I refused. She then sent one of those, “Fine. I’ll leave you both to it” texts.
She really has no concept of what being a good parent is. She threw him out at 13 and brought him to me. She told him that she couldn’t look after him, as she was scared of him and he reminded her of her brothers. They were awful.
Years later, now. After all her health problems, L-Bobs tried to make amends. It has all been fine until now. She was telling him what HIS dreams for the future are. Making justify how he will be happy when he is 40, if he continues down the path he has chosen. Telling him he can’t be normal because he has autism………FUCK!
I hate people like her. She is what is wrong with the world.
I have to control my anger. I’m a good parent. I know that. It is one of the things I know I am good at.
Return of the witch.

Sleep….never enough sleep. Does it mean there is something wrong with me? I just wanna sleep.

Finally, a reason to feel good. I was doing a bit of basic shopping in Lidl when I got a call from the housing association. This is related to the complaints I made the other week.
I was on perfect form. I cried, she cried. I laid it on thick. Sadly, most of it was true. I should get an Oscar, though. By the end, I invited her round to ours, anytime she likes, for a cup of tea, etc..
She says she will not be pursuing our recent complaint if nothing happens in the next two weeks. She will cancel the whole thing. It is supposed to last until October.
Finally. A little boost. I’ve needed one.
Pukka.

There is a lot of nostalgia today. My task involved me travelling from Belsize Park,down Haverstock Hill, passed the Sir Richard Steeles, The Marathon………..So many memories.
Bruce, Doddy, Matt, and Pete. Flewin, Colin, Dom. Debbie & Cassie. Gavin, Toby……….Jesus. the list could go on forever. Beautiful people and a beautiful time in my life.
It’s funny how the time passes. It seems like yesterday.
Everyone has grown up now,….apart from me.

It turns out I’m working today. I didn’t know until late. It’s a general mop up. I’ve just been to Lego in Slough to identify some cables(Look! There they are!) Now I’m on the platform at Ashford Station to go to Holborn. Goodo!
It’ll give me a chance to pay my congestion fine!😒
Just in case you didn’t know, like didn’t. You have to pay on the weekend now.

All mopping up has been achieved. Thus, a Guinness and eggs benedict in the Penderal Oak. Rated 4 out of 5 in the Lamp Wetherspoons review!🍽

I didn’t achieve a lot yesterday. I talked to Carter for a bit. She went was supposed to be going to a Hen night, but I found out she fell asleep. I talked to my girl, Gayle, for a bit, and…….? That was it really. Did a bit of AI. Finished a pedal.
And I text-talked to my boy, Kai, for a bit. He was having a jolly in Brighton with the beautiful Frensh bird. Gotta love those guys xx.
Today has been the usual affair. I went to Flackwell to drop off the van. Had a chat with the Guv. Visited the parents. Popped in to kiss Carter, then back home.
I was feeling kinda rough, but nothing a couple of Bloody Mary’s couldn’t fix.
It’s a never-ending circle, right?
At least it’s a bank holiday tomorrow. Which means another quality sleep. Hey! You have to have something to look forward to?
