Boxing Stuff
Posted May 1, 2005
I have spent most of the week chasing funds for the boxing club, and there is a lot of money out there but you have to be so particular to meet funders specifications. However the local council has just given us £500
and that has opened other doors so it looks as though we will be fully kitted out by September. Now I am going to try and get a Mini bus
This country is awash with cash it is just so difficult to get your hands on it.
.
The bruise under my eye turned out to be a burst blood vessel and has now cleared up
When I went to the doctor I knew it was either skin cancer or something equally horrendous. But of course I'm a bloke and when it comes to my health I am like most blokes. I never get a cold, it is always double pneumonia.
!!!
It has been warm and sunny today. We had lunch out and then drove to Falmouth and watched the yacht racing. Then we drove around the coast through Swanpool along little country lanes. There are masses of wild flowers in the hedge rows. The daffodils are all gone but bluebells, wild garlic and primroses are every where. Although it is a holiday week end there does not seem to be much traffic about so the lanes and roads were easy driving.
We have had yet another local tragedy, a young man fell onto the railway lines in the early hours of this morning(Sunday)and was seriously hurt. Apparently he was trying to walk on a high wall above the railway cutting. It happened just after a nearby night club closed. perhaps he was not quite sober.
They have selected six of my poems for the Cornish Anthology which is going to be published in July or August. I am quite chuffed about it although I don't expect to become either famous or rich.
The Boss is really well all things considered, her medication has been changed, and she is getting stronger by the day, maybe I will be able to get her into the boxing ring, after all she is only seventy one
Many of my new roses are full of buds. The ones that are thriving best are those in my lasagne bed. That bed has bushes in it which either have The Boss' Christian name or my Christian name as part of their names. That's a bit over the top I know, but we think it is a hoot that Boss and I are in a bed together all day as well as all night>

Good Stuff
Posted Apr 24, 2005
We managed to alter all the wrong phone numbers on the boxing leaflets and gave the leaflets out. Lots of interest in the boxing club. I look particularly good advertising a boxing club as I awoke yesteday morning with a little bruise under my eye. No idea how it happened but today it is HUGE, and I look as though I have been in the ring. Off to the doctor tomorrow to see what it is I have had all the jokes about The Boss giving me a hiding but I am telling people they should see the other bloke
I have managed to change my page and I quite like it. The fellow at the top is St. George , to celebrate the English saint. After all I did it for St Perran a few weeks ago.
We went to Marazion for lunch and that was good but neither of us felt like driving so we came straight home after. So we have had a pleasant lazy afternoon.

Stupid Stuff
Posted Apr 22, 2005
Sometimes I am such a pillock. I have spent most of the day printing leaflets for a local 'do' tomorrow for The Son to hand out about the boxing club. They are all piled up on our kitchen table with the wrong telephone number on them
I tried to alter My Space on this and managed to erase the lot and can't remember how to put it back.
I made a tartin for us to have after dinner and dropped it
And it has hissed down with rain all day and I couldn't even take a break in the garden.
However The Boss and I are both very well

Birthday Stuff
Posted Apr 19, 2005
I am seventy one today and I have a problem with it. The thing is I do not know how to be seventy one. I know how to be seventeen. That is easy. Have little or no common sense
. Do things without thinking about them first
. Look at every pretty woman that goes by
. Listen to loud music
. Eat too much
, drink too much
and make a fool of yourself at parties
. That I can do. Looking at some of my neighbours, being seventy one is. Moaning about 'the youngsters today'(me, I love 'em, especially my grand children). Creeping about the village wearing a flat cap, wooly cardigan and zip half undone,(me I wear mostly black pretty smart gear, pilot sun glasses
and quite often a black stetson. I don't sit on the village bench smoking a pipe and maoning about 'The missus' I take my Boss out as much as I can and spend as much time with her as I can. I don't think I do seventy one very well.
Today has been really good. We didn't wake up until half nine. Woken by the phone going. Our son ringing to sing Happy birthday to me over the phone. That was good. Then my Bro. otherwise known as The Olympian rang and wished me well. Good stuff. did a little bit in the garden after breakfast and then saw the young couple from a few doors down out with their children and a remote control car. So had a little play with them.
The Boss took me out to lunch, I had salmon Bernaisse
Then off to the garden centre to get plants for the tubs baskets and boxes. back home to find all the family waiting with 
s, cards, and 
and
s.
I had an e mail asking me if I could get six of my poems ready for the end of May for an anthology of Cornish poetry which is to be published
and I have booked the hall for the boxing club to start in September as the local police have said they will pay for our coaches to be trained. What a very good day.
