So having taken little one into playgroup and had some time to hand I went for a coffee at my fav cafe just up from the second hand record shop in Ipswich. I even had one of there YUMMY cheese omelets...
Read a really funny article in the sun newspaper which was lying about regarding Jeremy Clarksons German outburst/joke on his car show the other week (Top Gear..???). Seems the bbc have recieved a complaint....ooppps. Strange to read though that it wasnt from the german government but elsewhere.
He did a salute sign as in the 3rd rich/Hitler salute which in all intense and purposes could've been taken either way.
Being British born and bread, I feel it's true to say that we takes jokes about ourselves on the chin and either laugh it off or if a member of the government sue those responsible...(just kidding).
The Sun although a fun newspaper which I never take too seriously (editorially speaking) spoke out in his defense with an oposite page piece that reached in the apparent past and recalled the jokes that were supposed to have been common during and just after the second world war.Jokes which at the time were to keep the british moral up and keep the glue holding our stiff upper lip.
The funny thing here though was that some of the jokes were NOT that old and if they were, then they'd, most certainly been edited to update them.
Even so, when it comes to sitting on the fence "The Sun" does.. when it feels like it. If the newpaper itself was a person it would be that person we all know who will agree with both you and your enemies point of view and swear elegiance to the three of you (am being ironic here)
I digress.............
Anyway....back to what matters....I've just heard that my father is now in a ward at the hospital having been told yesterday that he'd have to phone this morning to see if there would be a bed available.
The ward he's in is a sort of half way stop off point until a permenant bed is found. (I have had to explain this as it wasnt told to him....not exactly anyway..)
Its difficult to rationalise situations like this at the best of times. But poor old dad has had another specific problem to deal with and for a while now but he's always made a point of keeing a smile on his face and been brave.
I would find it difficult to smile under these circumstances let alone to have something else thrown into the life pot on top of it.
I will catch a bus this evening and take some grapes with me and maybe some Lucazade etc. He needs cheering up even though he's as tough as they come. Must be where i get my resiliance from. Just wish I had a magic wand.
But I have somethings far stronger......"FAITH" :-)
