Jan 29,This is a first time blog - so its all new and to say that I know what I am doing is an understatement. It won't be long before I start calling in assistance. Today is a special day. It is my son's Ahmed birthday - he is twenty four. He also celebrates this day with his late grandfather who would have been ninety. We spent the day together with my beautiful wife Maggie and twenty month old grandson Trey at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Trey is a delight and kept us 'going' all day and into the evening. He blew the candles out on Ahmed's birthday cake! When I know how I will add a photo to this blog. I also spoke to my two daughters who live in London. So all in all you will understand now why the sunshines out of my big florida blog!!! Actually it also rained quite a bit today ! Until the next time....

Muhammed Ali lets his guard down
Saw an awards evening last night that reminded me of another living hero...Muhammed Ali. A great boxer an even greater man with the courage of his convictions.
When I see great men like Muhammed Ali I am reminded that there is hope for us all if only we were prepared to let done our guard down from time to time and let the sun shine in!

Head up...
I am still trying to keep up with my blog ...the problem is deciding on what news to share with you all !! Our grandson spent the afternoon. When it was time to go home he wanted to stay the night ....so we must be doing something right!
We are hasve a good few friends visiting Florida in February so I maybe able to expand my blog and share it with them.
Business continues to be slow but we want to remain optimists for as long as possible. Uncle Arthur ( 94 years young ) told my Broker son .."the door to success has PUSH on in it" so from the mouth of experience that is what we are doing.
Spread the word...www.floridahomefurnishings.com and morethanproperty.com....believe me you will feel good as you click on it and forward!!! Also as a bonus you will receive 7 years good luck!!!
We are planning to be London in April to attend two weddings.....our son and daughter are getting married two days apart! Our son in Suffolk and our daughter in London! I am grateful for my experience in logistics but know only to well that while I plan The Almighty is the bigger planner!! The 'children ' with a combine age of 64 remain oblivious to the feelings parents go through at a time like this Head in the clouds ...more like head up.... a good time to say that despite where their heads maybe the sun still shines out of my big Florida blog....

Heroes and hope
Our grandson had his first sleep-over last night which thrilled grand-mama to no end. He kept us going all day and late until the evening. He was up at 7.a.m. in a good mood and raring to start a new day!Such energy...and amazingly no tantrums. It maybe a proud grand parent boast but this child has an incredible vocabulary for twenty months. I only hope that grand-mama can keep up! He does bring endless joy.
I think I am slowly getting into blogging and hope to keep it regularly up dated. Maybe I will be brave and throw out some comments on world events of interests and start a debate. Nothing heavy but certainly something that brings understanding amongst people from diverse backgrounds..irrespective of race, creed or colour.
My heroes include amongst others my parents - for obvious reasons and more. My wife...again for obvious reasons. Taking me on with all sorts of baggage you need to be someone special. I promised her that I would not write about her on my blog....not even in jest so I will say no more!! The children know why.
At the top of my other list of living heros is Nelson Mandela. I will , I think slowly add to this.
I want to also add President Obama as I believe he does have the makings of a great statesmen and that he will help make this a better world. The BUT is will he be able to stand up to those who are blinkered and only see what they want. So for the moment though President Omama is on the short list the sun continues to shine with hope in my big Florida blog!
To be continued.......

Slumdog Millionaire..out of the brutality of poverty
Went to the movies last night to see Slumdog Millionaire.. Great movie all round and deserves the acknowledgement it gets from Hollywood. It is good to know that out of out of the the brutality of poverty there is still humour, love, honour and hope. The movie is highly recommended.
Yesterday a movie set in Mumbai.....today an email from Mumbai to confirm that our company has secured a contract to furnish a vacation home in Orlando!! My wife also won Powerball yesterday...$7 , not enough to retire on but again ..the sun shines out of my big Florida blog..
