Some mornings when I wake up I feel like I've gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson and then I put the light on to find the pillow in shreds bed's not for me it's for the saintly and that definitely ain't me.

Conclusion
Went out to town again, got back before the rain came down 1-0 to me. The rest of the day can and will have its way but in I am going to stay, read a book look at things I need to do something to eat comb my hair and for a treat read chapter four, what more can a man ask for?

Lifers
Stripped of their dignity and led into penury by those sharks at the treasury, and for what? certainly not for what they've got. A tragedy for everyone the young and the elderly, except for the 'I'm alright Jack's ' who say, 'Well, that doesn't affect me' and they're index linked at the ministry, all nodding their heads as they lecture me about the need for fiscal responsibility. No surprise then that the black economy is booming, there's room in the back of the lorry something fell off.

Ouch. part two
More of this and more of that, more of everything, but those promises mean nothing, and that's what we'll get. Kemi and Keir could be sitting over a beer fixing the economy, while he sits in the rain dreaming of financial stability. they're all at it, we get it the cookie jar on the gravy train is being raided again.

What they offer
I would sooner see petunias than dandelions amongst the weeds, peculiar? probably different? most certainly, confident? definitely, The gardener. in this house there are many rooms in bloom each tended lovingly guarded carefully thought of most tenderly, absolutely. But dandelions have their place growing, growling in your face, like them or not give them a small spot and watch them blossom in the sun.
