Absence

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI guess this picture sums up how I feel right now though there are blue skies looming the clouds are still obscuring them and the sun is trying to break through the canopy which has kept me in shade for so long.

Ten days ago I was forced to make a choice I had avoided for a long time hoping that things could be mended but sometimes what is done cannot be undone or erased and failure must be accepted.  And that is what has happened after 17 years my relationship has died and I believe is beyond resuscitation, sometimes people change and you find yourself staring at the face of the person you loved but knowing they are no longer there, they have changed beyond recognition.

They say write what you know and maybe one day I will for now my son is my main priority and finding myself again. I don’t write this looking for pity relationship end every day for one reason or another I write it because I need to and to draw a line under it so I can move on.  Who knows what fate has in store for me but am sure it will be interesting lol

DVD Review – Jeeves & Wooster (Box set 1990-1993)

I will state first of all that it does require a certain type of humour to fully appreciate this series, and it may very well not be everyone’s cup of tea but I love it.

The full series based on PG Wodehouse’s novels only lasts 23 episodes and revolves around the misadventures and intrigues of a group of upper class friends who come to rely upon Bertie Wooster’s unflappable valet Jeeves to step in and save the day.  Are the plots a little ridiculous? Well yes but that does not detract the enjoyment.

In the world of PG Wodehouse it does appear every woman’s intention is to bag a husband and every man’s intention is to avoid being bagged by the one who wants to bag him.  Affections are changed frequently much to comic effect and poor Wooster finds himself frequently in danger of matrimony.

Excellent casting in the main roles has Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry playing the title roles and I really must say if you haven’t watched this then give it a go.  For none Brits it may be a little off putting at first but stick with it and you will soon find yourself laughing at the sort of men who once ruled our country (and from whom those running it today are descended) if nothing else you will appreciate why we Brits need a good sense of humour and why we find it so easy to laugh at ourselves.

5 out of 5 stars.
