Election, TV, Cardiff, Personal - I'm Back

I have been on a short break from blogging well since last Wednesday anyway. Have I missed much to write about in the period? Manchester was the big story but who could write about that and I think it could have been the reason for the break.

If you believe the polls May and her Tory landslide is off the cards with Corbyn and Labour poll figures improving as days go by and could he catch her before the election in 10 days. Can we believe the polls though they got it so wrong last time, but my postal vote is ready to post?

Everyone knows how much I love my TV but Manchester and the aftermath has been filling our screens making it hard work to watch at times. To lighten my mood in particular I have been watching a lot of vintage comedy over the internet, still it was hard to lighten my mood.

On the plus side with Manchester in mind with security, my home city of Cardiff will be the centre of the football world with the men and women’s Champions League Final being played on Saturday and Thursday respectively. It is a worldwide event with news crews from around the world in the city and more of which I will write about later in the week.

On a personal note, I was out at a “bit of a do” Saturday night with this couch potato dragging himself out to go to my nieces 21st Birthday. Has someone who avoids parties like the plague, even family ones, I had a surprisingly good night sitting with dad watching the family go by. Has the night went on I started to think of all the family missing.

My uncles, Joe, Mancio, Johnny and Tony thinking how my father would have love to be sitting around a table with them, baby Peter with his big brothers. There are also his sisters and all the brother and sisters in law he must find it lonely without them being the only one left. We his children cannot replace that kind of love but we stand with dad.

He is missing mum who like me was not one for parties but like me would have made the effort I am sure and like dad she would have loved to be surrounded by her missing family. But it was great to see the new generation of the family build their own lives and some new life coming soon.

So I am back for what it is worth.
