I woke shortly after 4am
this morning and lay awake listening to the sound of the rain on the
window. After an hour or so I realised that I'd been stroking Fudge
whilst laying in bed listening to the rain. When did he sneak
upstairs?
I came downstairs to find
the batch of beer I'd set off yesterday was bubbling nicely.
Hopefully it will do the trick for Brighton Kite Festival. Over a
spot of brekkie I watched one of my psychology lectures. Today we
touched on operant conditioning . It sounds dull, but is actually
quite interesting. There's an example of conditioned
learning in action here which demonstrates the point quite
nicely.
The radio made for
interesting listening as I drove to work. It featured an article
about how the government plans to combat childhood obesity by making
it illegal for a fast food outlet to be open before 5pm if it is
within four hundred yards of a school. An novel concept which should
put more than a few people out of work.
Ironically the spokesman
from the National Obesity Forum who was being interviewed rejoiced in
the name of "Mr Fry".
I got to work and then
realised I'd left my phone at home. I then felt rather lost for much
of the day. Whilst I rarely use it to make calls or to send text
messages, my phone is also my camera and my book. I didn't realise
how much I use the Kindle app until I didn't have the phone with me.
This made for dull tea breaks at work. But I made the most of it, did
my bit and came home again. As I drove there was a program on the
radio about how accident and emergency departments are in crisis. It
always boils my piss that people in hospitals do the best that they
can only to be taken as easy targets for a media looking to stir
trouble...
