Dismal weather again throughout the day. Only busy day of the week. Out with T who haven’t seen before Christmas. He’s a spot on driver and shouldn’t have a problem. A cool lad too. S meanwhile struggles on. Have been teaching him since May (my second ever pupil) and progress is painfully slow. A nice lad, but he always has issues....work girlfriend etc etc and if he’s stressed out it’s watch out! Still hasn't really grasped that the three pedals are not no/off switches. It's a brutal experience sitting next to him sometimes, but I do feel thre are some signs of progress.
Apparently whilst at the Mahler gig last night I missed the planet shattering news that Kevin Keegan has been chosen as Big Sam’s replacement. Accordingly Radio Footie Live has suspended all news coverage of everything else in the apparent opinion that anyone living more than 30 miles from Newcastle might actually give a toss. Keegan is apparently the new Geordie Messiah, so I took the trouble to google his managerial record. Ermm it transpire this consists of one div three and one div two championship. No wonder they’re whooping as they puke up the brown ale onto the streets. Somewhere sown the news agenda comes the news thata BA jet has bellyflopped onto the pre runway lawn at Heathrow. No one knows how or why, but everyone decides it's time for an "our life in hs hands. hero pilot saves the day" story. The plane looks a write off but luckily no one was hurt. Hmmm three flights in a weekend coming up soon!
At home I realise I’ve forgotten to buy any tea. H seems to be using this as a personal crusade to make me more accountable. It’s too bloody miserable to go out and get any so I stomp around the house trying to pick a fight with anyone who’ll talk to me. H decides she’s had enough so goes downstairs to what I was beginning to consider my bed. So now I have to risk the gruntathon or kip on the sofa.
Tempt D away from the PC having rediscovered my bootleg DVD of Blackadder II and watch a couple of episodes. I love watching something that he likes and laughs at. It’s such a pleasure to laugh at something with one’s nearest and dearest.
