by most, inc. me.

I was one of 3 newbies, 60- minute lecture, lecture from Surrey's key
advocate for Restorative Justice .. supper .. then group discussions on
the lecture answering 3 questions.

caught me before I could pass go, feeling my collar gently, introduced
himself and promptly asked me to help with their enquiries .. well,
would I take part in some training exercises with some of there less T
friendly officers, he conceded though they've done some training some
officers haven't assimilated into properly understanding people like
him ( he says he gets "T" totally .. :-) ).

She's going to try and organise a tread mill session for the week
before I fly out to Brunei "to see what happens" .. been there before,
think we know what's going to happen. Ho hum :-(

07.10 .. the alarm ..
It’s the Saturday morning weigh in, except I forget to do it ..
probably about 15st .. <<sighs>>.
10.02 .. We head off to get Claire .. via the M3 at lightwater to avoid
the golf traffic .. Mrs Schumacher is in the seat again ..
10.41 .. We join the M1 ..
As we pass through J10, the southbound side is closed, looks like an
accident .. the traffic goes for miles ..
11.01 .. We stop at Toddington services to get lunch stuff ..
11.14 .. Back on the road .. the southbound queue finally ends about 3
miles north of the services ..
11.23 .. a BBC traffic report says the M1 southbound queue is 14 miles
and building to J10 .. so we’ll be going back via Oxford ..
11.48 .. We arrive at the pickup point .. no Claire .. I head for the
loo ..
When I return the homes car is here and Claire is already in our car ..
12.02 .. We are back on the raod, the Tom Tom has seen all the traffic
peeling off at the services here blocking the road through to Oxford ..
so the TomTom takes us on to the M1 south down to J15 .. and off across
towards the A5 and A41 ..
12.20 .. We are on the A5 “doing 70mph officer” skirting around Milton
Keynes when there is a small bang .. followed by a lot of vibration ..
Karen slows
12.46 .. Back on the road .. .. only one man stopped to help
after I'd changed the wheel, a very nice Asian man .. now limping home
on the space saver ..

Gosh a night from Hell with Claire ..
02.30 .. I’m aware of Karen getting out of the bed to go to Claire ..
initially Karen takes the load, I wake nearly evrytime and put the
light on for her ..
03.49 .. I’m woken to the sound of singing birds .. ruddy hell .. noisy
what’s it’s .. and Claire is murmuring ..
04.00 .. I get up to Claire .. except Karen doesn’t put the light on
for me so I catch a little toe on a box on my return .. gosh that hurts.
Up and down every 5 - 10 minutes means little sleep, Karen is worse off
than me cause she had to do the same all last week ..
05.50 .. We’ve sort of given up .. so rather than trying to sleep we
just snuggle up .. between shared trips to intercept Claire .. the TV
goes on with Claire cam on so we can keep half an eye on her ..
07.30 .. We give up .. and get up ..
09.10 .. After one too many violent “threats” .. Karen gives Claire a
dose of PRN ..
10.00 .. ish .. Claires starting to calm down and we take her
downstairs again ..
10.10 .. Karen heads for a shower .
10.50 .. I head for a shower ..
11.35 .. I’m back in the lounge ..
11.42 .. ish .. Robert and Lorraine arrive .. Claire perks up for a
while ..
11.53 .. I uncover the BBQ and light it .. I get side tracked and
forget it’s on high.
12.05 .. oop’s .. the temperature gage is off the end stops at the high
end .. over 500F .. I turn the gas down low ..
14.02 .. We head off to take Claire back while the going is good ..
14.08 .. Claire’s asleep in the back ..
14.16 .. We leave the M3 to join the M25 .. it’s looking good ..flowing
somewhat faster than the 55 - 60 mph Karen is driving at ..
14.41 .. We join the M1 .. ETA is 15.24 .. rather early ..
15.37 .. We arrive at Northampton services .. a tad early, no sign of
the homes car yet ..
15.42 .. The homes car arrives .. my attention is drawn to the front
nearside tyre .. it’s ruddy bald !!! This isn’t the first time either
.. clearly nobody at the home takes responsibility for such things.
15.49 .. We head for home .. the sun in wrong place now so had to shut
blind inside Violets glass roof .. too HOT !!! .. Loving it .. :-))))
16.59 .. We leave the M25 .. nearly home ..
17.18 .. We are home ..
18.45 .. The oven is ready .. I start to do the cooking ..
19.15 .. Dinner is served .. Waitrose Indian meal deal for two !!! ..
this would fill 3 people.
19.35 .. We are stuffed .. no pudding tonight ..
21.40 .. I head for bed .. with a dose of Voltarol .. gosh my back is
killing me, I'm sure it was that ruddy wheel change yesterday .. :( ..

17.40 .. I head off .. but not for home .. I head into London to have a
meal out with Jonathon .. the ex colleague now doing my old job ..
21.30 .. Back home, and put myself back on call .. had a lovely evening
visiting "my old place" then having a meal out at probably the best
Thai restaurant in London, "Two Point", 26 Crawford Street London
W1H1LL. Gosh I miss my regular meets and fill ups there, the food was
just amazing .. 3 courses with 2 drinks for £26 a head .. I could
go back tomorrow.
Really strange how the old place has changed a little .. a lot in some
places, but my solitary confinement cell ( engineering office /
workshop ) hasn't changed .. spooky walking in that room. Mission
accomplished on the work front thanks to my mutual back scratching
friend.
Had a brilliant welcome by the owner of Two Point in Crawford Street,
who turned to one of his girls saying they'd been talking about me
recently and wondered why I hadn't been back .. my usual table was
available .. ;-)
If any of my friends are up for a Thai at Two Point soon .. just say,
it would have to be something major to stop me getting there !!

The secretary who booked appointments on the phone organised an early
pre op check for me, to minimise disruption at work .. 08.30, saying it

09.00 .. I’m in the doctors .. my back still hurting me from tyre
changing incident on Saturday, my head is still aching a lot since
cracking it on that beam a week ago .. I Think the Voltarol I'd
been taking has helped that too ..
However, I feel like crap .. My GP suspects I'm suffering mild
concussion still since my head banging incident last week. Bulk supply
of Voltarol prescribed for my back ( which eases headache too ).
Resultant tinnitus, with back ache and streaming cold now makes me one
happy bunny .. going to be a great weekend, on call.
10.15 .. I’m outside the office ..
Much of the day is spent trying to get an OB kit back together and
parts gathered so Mel can do the OB at Aldershot on Tuesday ..
Frustrations @ work .. trying to make sure all the relative parts of
our OB kit are together and the Dalet machine is synced up .. grrrrrrr

couple of hours ) .. fine mess !!!

09.30 .. up and at it ..
Having heard and read great things of how beetroot juice is supposed to
improve oxygen absorption, I bought a bottle from Waitrose yesterday
and just had my first 150cl daily measure. Bottle warns of wee going
pink, didn't warn that your tongue also does dark red, .. wondering how
long for. I'll do this for a few weeks to see if my stamina improves.
On my Facebook profile ..
I have to ask .. is anybody / group organising a noisy welcome for
those forcing commuters and citizens of this tax burdened country into
over crowded road lanes so those lording it up at our expense get
priority over us ?
If there is I want car stickers and air horns on my commuting Jazz to
welcome them when they pass me in my delayed and pollution creating
extended queues.
The person who designed the royal barges throne area was a thoughtless
pillock who should be sent to the tower .. disgraceful.
What no hot air blowers just in case of English weather ?
What no rotate so that the long period by Tower Bridge didn't have to
be stood up by our 86 year old Queen ?
All so simples .. shame on the designer and commissioner !!
Great news from Thailand .. where contrary to popular belief, TS’s
don’t get an easy time, one has just one a seat in a Provincial
Administration Organisation .. brilliant !!
21.15 .. .. and so to bed .. my back is really not pleasant .. work

is waiting for her in the car park.
20.00 .. The jubilee concert .. It was a great concert, sorry to be the
damp squib, but I found it sad that the older stars are clearly losing
their once incredible singing voices, allowance given to Elton for
recovering from pneumonia .. but an awful lot of high notes didn't get
reached .. I'm sure my memory can't be that bad.

08.40 .. Dressed, I head for the kitchen to sort out my breakfast ..
but get side tracked by the laptop that’s been on all night .. seems
the full scan completed only 2 hours ago ..
09.00 .. Finally .. I get to eat my breakfast ..
09.18 .. Karen’s mobile rings .. it’s the care home .. Claire left 15
minutes ago .. WTF .. they should have called immediately .. the
pressure is now on us to get to the pick up point ..
09.27 .. We are on the rod in Violet .. bum .. I’m sure I’d left her in
the drive full up .. clearly not .. next stop a garage
09.40 .. Karen drives onto the Shell Garage forecourt .. “temporarily
closed” .. so we have to turn back and use the BP on the Egham Hill
roundabout .. 133.9 ppl instead of 132.9 ppl at Shell.
09.51 .. Back on the road ..
09.54 .. We are on the M25 .. Mrs Schumacher is out of the box again ..
worried about the head start Claire and minders have on us ..
10.15 .. We join the M1 .. our TomTom is definitely buggered again ..
no
10.54 .. We’ve arrived at the pick up point ..
11.40 .. Karen pulls off into Toddington services .. I need the loo ..
Back in the car ..
As a further invasion of our privacy, TOMTOM now require that you have
to share your personal information to allow there live traffic service
to work. I pay £49 a year for this service, it's not free, but
they still want my information to use. For services that are free, one
might expect to have to "pay" in some way, in accepting spam as a cost.
I've read what they say on there website .. but simply I don't believe
them and don't trust them to keep my info safe. I'm going to have to
register a throw away email account and try and change the registered
account to the throw away one I guess.
New Gmail account created just for TomTom .. this will be my 6th
concurrent gmail / googlemail account .. another one to add to my
records at home, one to lose if necessary !! This brings my total
including Yahoo and my own domain accounts to about 18 .. glad my
memory isn't too bad at the moment, though I have to admit Thunderbird
sorts most of those out for me ..
Karen returns from her trip into the services carrying a bag from
M&S food .. that’ll be lunch then ..
11.56 .. Back on the road ..

disgust to sort breakfast and tablets ..
09.20 .. ish .. Karen takes Claire for a bath .. on their return I
stand and dry Claire’s hair while Karen goes and gets showered.
10.25 .. I head up for a shower ..
11.18 .. I’m back in the lounge .. settling at the computer for a while
..
11.35 .. Robert and his girlfriend arrive to see Claire .. it’s good
news from Robert .. the bus company whose bus damaged his car when it
was parked, without stopping, are paying to have his car repaired at
the moment .. so he’s driving a loan Corsa but not enjoying it.
13.35 .. WE head off to take Claire back in Violet , via Waitrose in
Sunningdale ..
Waitrose is not improving on their lacking fruit and vege department ..
“Class 1" my foot for too much of what is there .. I do manage to get
another Lardy Cake for Claire to take back with her ..

me traffic updates.
14.36 .. We join a rainy M25 at Egham ..
15.15 .. I send an email to TomTom support ..
Dear support ..
Re TomTom 950 Live
My heap of junk, that causes me more stress than the actual driving
around the M25, has for the last week or so been refusing to connect to
your servers and get traffic updates.
Eventually through your so hard to navigate web site, I discovered that
with some recent update I have to agree to share my private info so I
can be spammed, to make this service work.
Yesterday I set up a disposable email address with Gmail to service
this account only. Having set it all up, I can access things like
google and fuel pricing .. yet still NO TRAFFIC UPDATES.
I know my traffic updates are paid up till the second anniversary /
warranties run out point in Feb 2013.
Since my last complaints of it crashing and wiping out my map
corrections, it's continued to do so with regular monotony .. at least
twice a week, sometimes twice a day.
I am your worst advertising nightmare now .. colleagues have been
buying Garmin's as a result of my near daily TomTom rants and postings
on Facebook and Twitter, I wish I hadn't bought this one after my
terrible experiences with the rubbish 720T model I stupidly bought with
it's ill conceived plug in the bottom / smash off on the dash traffic
aerial. Ironically, my first model 500 is still being used by son who I
gave it too, with few hassles 5 years later.
As this device is pretty useless to me now, I guess it's best it comes
back to you for sorting. I'll then return it every time it crashes till
you have sorted it out to a point it's repeated crashes are bearable
and I can resell it to buy a Garmin, which I know my colleagues are
finding totally trust-able.
Yours, stupidly loyal and now seriously dissatisfied,
Sarah *******.
Guess what .. an hour later I got my first traffic notice in a week or
so .. a coincidence ???
15.46 .. We arrive at Northampton Services ..
15.52 .. Back on the road ..
16.15 .. Magic .. We’ve suddenly got traffic on our TomTom .. so how is
that ? Just in time to warn us of the back of the queue we join .. at
least it’s moving queue.
16.40 .. We rejoin the M25 .. spitting with rain ..
16.49 .. Karen gets cut up by a Volvo driver and it starts to rain
properly .. as promised in this mornings forecast ..
17.19 .. We are home ..

I head for work using the tomTom and an Android app called “Waze” on my
Samsung phone .. going to be fun testing against the TomTom.
Well Waze did the business this morning .. although it doesn't advise
of faster routes like the TomTom does .. however, my announcement that
my TomTom was getting traffic info again yesterday after my snotty
email to TomTom support was short lived .. no info at all on hours
drive this morning.
19.15 .. rather naughtily .. went out to The East & Orient in
Chobham for a meal with my Karen, Monday is Ladies Night ..
£14.95 a head instead of the usual £16.95 for boys .. I'm
on call .. ho hum, only 5 minutes away and my phone didn't ring or get
a single text .. phew .. :-)

06.00 .. have taken a 4mg Chlorphenamine for the allergic reaction,
aching all over. Work aware I'm going to be late. The Chlorphenamine
hasn't had the usual effect, my supply is over 3 years old, I wonder if
they suffer from ageing, call to Pharmacist when they are open.
On my Facebook profile ..
19.12 .. Have felt really poo all day following the allergic reaction
that happened over night. Boots chemist and Doctor between them wound
me up over the viability of the tablet I took earlier .. seems I'm
going to have to buy my own pre trip to Brunei on Monday.
The good news was a letter in the post from Surrey Police .. I've past
the security checks so now officially the IAG transgender
representative member. However .. got another form to fill in just for
fun.
More to come ...
