Above the Orbit tower at the Olympic park London at a cost of £22 million wonder if i will ever see it up close , i think the Olympic park will stay after the games have packed up and head out to Rio 2016 sounds a good year for some reason.

It as been on the news that there as been a 50% increase in shop lifting in Sheffield city centre around 34 miles from Leeds , and its not luxury items or electrical people are pinching , its food people are stealing food to feed themselves and their family , in our local mini supermarket its getting that bad even the blocks of cheese have security tags on them because of theft this is not a joke , there is trays and joints of meat that are being took on a daily basis. The petrol station post pictures from the security cameras of all those who fill up and do drive offs , a full tank can cost you between £70 to £90 to fill up yesterday i filled up with super diesel at £1.47 a litre , would buy you buy a few joints of meat with the money you save providing you don't get caught , England is getting like a third world country.

Cant get away from the Olympics to be honest i am getting in to it watched Helen Glover and Heather stanning win gold in the rowing it was quite emotional hopeful after Bradley Wiggins won our second gold medal yesterday there is more to follow to day.

I got up early this morning Helen was running late i made her a cup of tea and did her sandwiches ham with cheese and onion spread and baked ham with salad in brown bread , no salad dressing makes the bread soggy so i have been told ,, not talking from any type of experience.

Spoke with my son Guy he wants to become a tree surgeon at the moment he is serving petrol and earns only £150 a week , he needs to earn more money he is worried he will never earn enough to buy a house , go on a decent holiday , buy better clothes and food and of course to support his girlfriend whom i have still to meet , it must be scary times for a lot of young people ,its scary for people my age , but he does own a £3500 motor bike which i remind him if he was not working he would have no transport no means of freedom no means of escaping told him he must be grateful for what he as and contact as many tree surgeons businesses he can to see if he can get some sort of training apprenticeship he is only nineteen and his life is not set in stone just needs to be realistic if you earn a rubbish wage its easy to get a better paid job given time , its harder when you earn a middle of the road wage and need more money that's when life becomes harder .

Need alternative routine its like track cycling i am going round and round and round stop the world i want to get off. Life is an Olympic event its game on 24/7 and we are all chasing gold we all want to win BE NUMBER ONE ,and no one can afford to lose of course we all want a nice house , new car , other gizmo's and gadgets and to travel first class staying in the best hotels , with money to spend once you get there , been struggling to get on the podium for years , i keep believing and keep on trying as i am far from starving far away from being homeless . I have got more now than some people will ever have. End of day you got to be happy with yourself otherwise you will be resentful bitter and twisted for ever thats a long time .
