A Quiet Day...

Today has been one of the quietest I can remember - me off for a day, kids at school, DC at work. You start to relish a bit of peace and quiet when youm get a bit older and days like this are one of the best ways to switch the mind down a bit and relax. Today has been that day. Back to work tomorrow and then the final day before the big weekend. I had a look at the weather report again as today is such a nice day and I don't want to tempt fate but it is different to the one from yesterday.

There has been a report from the government, or The nannies as I prefer to call them. Apparently our kids like the sun too much and spend too long playing outside when its sunny. Jesus fucking Christ, as if we see a lot of the bloody thing anyway. My kids are stuck in day after day during the winter because of the poxy rain and grim windy conditions. When it's sunny, of course they want to go out...so do I. Apparently though we can't be trusted to take a few precautions to prevent burning, no...we're all too fucking stupid. So we get another wanky report from some overpaid stuffed shirt government scientist cum sociologist ramming more "good health" shit at us. Listen, leave us alone, we've got this far pretty much OK and by ourselves. Message to Blair and gang - Keep your bullshit studies to yourself and stop patronising me, my family, my friends - give us some credit and keep your pseudo-socialist , bleeding heart, nanny state noses out of our lives. It's enough to make me reach for the ciggies.....
