2017 PART THIRTY FIVE 26/08 -- 01/09

Lovely sunny days to kick this week off, having been out to a funeral at the end of last week was in a slightly sombre mood but the sunshine and good news that began to filter through helps the week go by. Saturday was another open day at the Hillingdon Railway Modellers, enjoy these days giving some of Dads trains a bit of a run out. 

The it was down to catch some football, with AFC Wimbledon playing at home to Doncaster, and what a game .... dull 0-0 at half time barely a shot to speak about then what a difference in the second half with two quick goals sending the Dons to a 2-0 win and three important points so now everyone can breathe once more.



Sunday was the usual quiet day, watching the F1 Belgium Grand Prix and then seeing what the rest of the week might have in store. Alas it was to prove another bad day, and as a direct result we find that we have had to cancel a planned weekend away to Hastings due to lack of funds. What I will be doing with the six days I will then have off work is anyone's guess, it will now have to be days out locally for no money using my Oyster card and with just a few quid for lunches. Early thoughts lean towards days to the Crematorium and riverside venues such as Richmond and Hampton Court. Making me sad but ultimately caused by my inability to stop haemorrhaging money left right and centre. 

A quiet Bank Holiday Monday though I did get out and pick up a few things locally, birthday cards for friends children and bit of lunch. It's a small thing but one of the few positives I can say about myself is that I DO remember birthdays and no matter if I see people or not I still send cards and for the younger children a little birthday money. In an age where people just say "hi" on facebook when prompted I feel it's important to still do something a little more personal. 

The rest of the week back to work, try and fight through September and look again at next week and what I might be able to do with the few days off. Any thoughts?
