Well, that would appear to be that.

A fresh start today for all in the household as Robert started at Brodetsky Primary school today.
I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders after the hell of the past couple of weeks. Still waiting for the outcome of the complaint against his old head, but Sue is looking after all of that.
Can you believe that on his 2nd day, he is off to a robotics exhibition at one of the local high schools!!! so I have had to go out & get all the ingredients for a kosher packed lunch for him, not that we dont keep kosher normally...
Went to see my social/mental health worker Jim earlier today. I enjoy talking to him as he really seems to know what he is talking about and wants to make a difference to each person he is in contact with. I told him about everything we have been going through with Robert, my looking at certain sites and the chemical concoctions on them, how I feel Robert starting at the Jewish School is a new start for the whole family and everything else.
As per usual I was an hour early, so chatted to Terry Stowe who was in the studio with Sandi Firth, then went off shopping, got back to find them still in the studio looking lost before Stuart Woolfe and Lesley Millett arrived to get on with the preperations for tomorrow nights fashion show.
Glad I'm just attending as a staffer, & not as anything else!!!
Anyhow, thats it for today.
TTFN!!

What a difference a day makes.

This time yestaerday, I was ready to kill the world, followed by me.
Today, I have Robert at home, but not for long. Should find out in an hour or so if he can start at Brodetsky Primary tomorrow instead of the 1st November Education Leeds in their wisdom wanted him to.
Who in their right mind allows a child to remain at a school where it is being bullied longer than needs be, just to fulfil some stupid self imposed target?
As it is, his Dr said not to send him back to Highfield and when he said he was worried about breakfast club this morning, we over rode Roberts wants & kept him home.
Luckily, to keep him (and I) occupied, the Ryder cup went into an extra day, and then his new bike arrived...
So, Stunt pegs, 360° front forks and a couple of scrapped knuckles later and his bike was ready to roll.
Bright Orange, and 3 spoke mag wheels...Kids today!!!

Has anyone seen my plot?

...because I seem to have mislaid mine.
Went out at 8am to get breakfast & managed to pick up cottage cheese rather than cream cheese...I nearly broke down when I got home and saw it.
I have been officially told by my wife that I cannot get involved in the school problems any more, as she can see just how much it's dragged me down over the last two weeks.
No going to play golf today, the weather in Leeds makes Wales look positively tropical!
Despite a sleeping pill last night, or rather because of it, I feel like crap again today, and need to get my head at least partially sorted as on Tuesday I record a special show on mental health and on Wednesday night I'm one of the hosts for Radio Jcom's fashion show at the MAZCC centre.
In a way, I'm quite pleased that I wrote the show 2 weeks ago, because if I'd carried out my usual schedule, I would now be panicking and probably put recording back a few days.
Thats all for a while, I'm too knackered to go on...

I do think I might actually be screwed

I cant take much more of these problems Robert is having with his head mistress and bullying at highfield primary school.
I have found myself looking at suicide sites and considering a "pain free" chemical method.
I am really upset that this woman will not take my sons welfare seriously. She is a bloody liar, blackmailer and a joke of a headmistress.
She needs taking down a few pegs, and if I have to take her to court to do that, then so be it!
Problem is, I dont know if I can make it much further.

first golf lesson of the new term.

well, up at Cookridge Hall for Roberts lesson. bit early, so sent him out with a bucket of balls to practice before the lesson starts. good news is my brother in law passed his taxi test and is already working. I might get my money back before. christmas

Sleep, perchance to dream...

Finally fell asleep about 5am. Watched the first ever episode of Sharpes Rifles with a certain Mr Bean in the lead role. I had forgotten just how good they are as dramas. Add to the fact that the regiment Sharpe is supposed to have been in is now part of my old Regiment (South Essex for Sharpe, 1st Bn. Royal Anglian for me) and it makes it more interesting to me at least.
Cat napped on the couch until 11am, and am now watching Wainwrights walks. The lakes are so beautiful and worth the visit any time of year.
I have to say, I am sorely tempted to get a pair of hiking boots and have a go at some of the "easier" routes in the lake district with Sue & Robert to try and improve both my general fitness and to improve the strength in my ankle.

Its Rosh Hashanah from sundown today! So its off to Aunt Paulas for a fantastic feed after Robert has had his golf lesson tonight, before collapsing (hopefully) into bed. Its my favourite holiday of the jewish calender, simply because everyone gets together and just enjoys the time spent.
Full house tonight though.
Paula, Robert Sr., Michael & Rochelle with Sam & Leah, Harvey & Sandy with both girls, my Father in Law Stephen and us 4.
Well, thats it for now. Might blog again later from dinner...

going mobile

technology. now able to blog on the go. I know millions have been at it for years, but I'm still getting to grips with Android. so, don't expect miracles, but do expect more.
