  One Year to go!

  Just one year until the 2012 Olympics in London. We were only allocated one set of tickets - for Horse jumping. We're still looking forward to it though!

  
  

  
  

  The BBC have changed their News Channel countdown to the the number of days and time until the start! How cool is that....

  Happy as Larry?

  Hello, not posted a blog for a while. Anyone still around?

  
  

  Things have been busy for me over recent times, and have not gone as I expected.

  
  

  Met my "better half" at a PCS union seminar in October 2008, and we have not really been apart since. Things were a tad complicated, since she lived a long way away in Hartlpool. Still we got married in November 2009. Since we met I have travelled 220 miles home, and 220 miles back to work each week.

  
  

  I was looking for work up here, but didn't haveany luck. In the end, I was offered a job in Bristol and the wife (Pauline) has managed to transfer with HMRC to Bristol tax office. So after nearly 100, 000 miles I can finally stay put at the weekend. Or will from the start of May.

  
  

  On the TV front. I have been enjoying all the new shows that Sky Atlantic have brought along ...such as Blue Bloods and a second chance to watch BSG. I was never quite on the same planet as the rest of you first time round. It's not until the last year or so that I realise this.

  
  

  It could be said that I have "born again", having been baptised last year, at a Grace Baptist Church up here.

  
  

  The subject of the blog refers to a comment by a Sean in Coronation Street, when he said his Uncle with Alzheimer's was "...happy as Larry". I was a tad shocked by this, I can't help feeling anyone going through such a dreadful ilness might be slighly upset!

  
  

  Any, might blog again in the next 2 years"

  
  

  Richard aka Miles.
