As I sit and type in the gloomy, rain-filled valley of Wales, I feel no evil, for thou(pl) are with me! ‘Tis been such a long time!

I currently have access to the net via middle daughters laptop and connection following such a long period of absence.. and it feels good. I’m unemployed.. on paper, so says the government.. but a few months ago embarked on the most rewarding, uplifting experience and now work as a volunteer at  a crafts workshop with vulnerable adults with special needs.

The employment front in the uk at the moment is most depressing, but oddly I have now stopped taking my medication and things have stabilised and the world is once more a place I can get out into and enjoy.. alas, no bloody car! the catch 22 strikes again.. no job, no car.. so I rely on public transport to maneouvre around my little world .. no cruising for granny kaz no more…yet!

The artistic streak has kicked back in, due to the insirational people I support a few times a week and I remain on call on a casual basis for a local company selling recycled plastic products to the building trade, built them a web site and continue to maintain it..when they come get me lol.. as I’m now a poor unemployed artist with no transport.

I’ve lost a few good friends this past year to tragedy. One only a few weeks ago..to suicide. It has been a very sad few weeks, but comforting to know that I had the honour to have known such a sweet, humble, happy, helpful, supportive.. (but obviously troubled deep beneath that exterior).. young man.

I now have two grandchildren, Ellie is now 2 and Seren is around 5 months old. I don’t get to see them much.. Ma says it’s like my daughter has airbrushed us out of their lives.. sad. I sit and observe on the rare visits and wonder if history is not repeating itself.  Eldest daughter doesn’t go out, and on numerous occasions has told me of the arguments and controling behaviour.. and then she slots right back into being the submissive partner. All I can do is watch and wait and be here.

Middle daughter is now a trainee chef at a local pub and sometimes thinks she is my mother hehe. Youngest daughter has flown the nest and lives..err correction- is glued to.. with her boyfriend of 2 years and his gran, but comes home regularly most weekends to bug me lol.

What else.. ermm I’m off to a school reunion on the weekend..that should be interesting to say the least. I received an invite after discovering I had free internet access on my mobile phone, though it’s really crap and has limited access and signed up to the infamous (lol) facebook. Consequently I met up with a mate from school and it’s like we were never apart for all these years..

Thank heavens for draft saving.. I lost connection and came right back to this point.. amazing! However, I have this strange feeling that the technology is about to be taken away/conviscated, so must now return to the housework. Good to be back in the loop, fire away with comments/questions/etc.. thanks Tara, Pixie and Demented for the welcome, love ya xx mwah!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
