Portrait

Just been reading the last entries, from a few months ago and, apart from Dawn, nothing much has changed.
Had an OK weekekdn in Ireland with Pete and Rob (Morton) and a few more of his mates. I kinda think Rob could become a closer mate sometime. He lives in Jarra which could be an issue.
The girls are good, though I know they aren't keen on staying here a lot. L & H are spending more time out with their mates but Rosy is still in little girl mode and is cute as can be still.
Work hasn't changed one iota. Just asked for a raise and will have a chat with Reg later in the week. It depends on his mood which is annoying.
Not heard much from Rob and family, as usual, dates for their visit come and go. I should go over on the bike to see him one weekend. Still though they intend to move over here in a year or so which will be fab.
The big thing though is Dawn and I. We are getting along good most of the time which, for me, is fab. SHe met the kids and I met hers and its all cool. Maybe, just maybe, in a year or so, we could consider moving in? WHo know,no chicken counting going on here mate.
See you in a bit.

Well Margie was as I had imagined and described in my last entry. She was of a nice disposition nonetheless and we had a few nights of pleasant lovemaking. So to Carole. After emailing her twice before with no success, she contacted me. Which was nice. On for the third date this evening and looking forward to it. SHe's fit, attractive and bright. SSo softly softly with this one Jonny, she may be the one. I do say that most very time however and set myself up for the inevitable fall. Got my parachute packed.
Gillian and Dawn seem like they're both up for bonus nights or days. Which is also nice.
Reg has been his usual aggresive self pointing out my lack of activity. Only took him 10yr! Everyone, including me knows I can't sell. I so should move on but I too effing lazy or lacking in confidence.
Spoke to the old guy and it seemed like he cared a bit which boosted me a little. I told him about the bike and he now thinks I'm gonna kill myself. He could be right. I hope not for the kid's sake. I am quite sensible. Honest.
The kids are home tomorrow and I', looking forward to seeing them. I missed them. Laura's room is done. I'm back into the gym and not too bothered about dieting just yet, hope I can persevere with the workouts.
Still need another job. A newsagents just came up in Monkseaton. Might have a look.

Well the camping trip was, by-and-large, a success. One or two annoyances, little P behaving like a spoilt brat as usual, L H & R fighting like cat and dog, me losing it too often. However, I think we, our lot, had a reasonable time and I guess set the kids up for a more fantastical time in Florida. With their new clothes, part financed by me as usual, not seen until they are outgrown or unwanted. Fuck.
Anyway, this MArgie woman looks passable from her online pic but isn't the sharpest knife in the draw and lives on the bronx or as near as makes no difference. Perhaps a shag or two. The other two who I'm in contact with could be more vbiable long-term. We'll see. Decided not to look too far ahead. Again.
Gayle, Linda & Andrea remain long shots, have to do the accidental bumping into routine with both I think. Ho hum.
Need larger income for bigger house.
Need to lose that stone.
Gonna do L's room while they're away. Honest.
Went out on the bike last night intending to go to BLyth and try to bump into Gsyle which was nice until I rode into rain so turned back and it chased me home.
