it's rained every day for the past 4 weeks and it's seriously time for it to stop - sick and tired of getting wet knickers every time I go out.

got divorced!!  finally!  happened very quickly really considering the time it took to actually get there - 11 years, 8 months and 29 days of marriage all over in less than 10 minutes.  Still at least I'll never forget the day of the divorce as it was Hope's birthday!!  Chris won't forget either as it was the day before he got married again!!  Nothing like leaving it to the last minute.

The studies are still killing me but it's all my own fault - too damn disorganised for my own good.  MUST try harder with that.

Got the new OPERATOR album on Monday (Soulcrusher) - it's fantastic, well worth the 2 year wait and it should be a huge hit.  The quality is exceptional and the guys sound amazing together.  All we need is for them to hit Europe and we're sorted!

My dad's not well - he's got a compressed fracture of the 4th vertebrae from the bottom and is really struggling.  He's coming up for 70 and seriously needs to start taking care of himself.

Hoppit's surgery went really well  - she now has full field of vision in both eyes and is no longer classed as legally blind.  Ellie is moving up a school in September and she's so damn excited.  The school has a fantastic dyslexia support program so we're hoping she'll continue to do well.  J, well he's being a total shit but that's nothing new!  He did manage to score 3 school years ahead in his exams this year which we're thrilled about, he worked so hard and deserves the results he got.

Hope, well she's still fantastic - still loving her and still enjoying her living with me.  She might be a little weird but she's my little weirdo which makes it alright!

Knee is still fucked, seeing my surgeon in a couple of weeks so will hopefully have a date for actual surgery then, anyone know the recovery time for a patellaectomy??

Till next time guys,
