I woke in need of a
tiddle shortly after 4.30am. When I emerged from Trap One I saw my
dog was standing by the back door. “What a good dog” I
thought and opened the door so’s he too could go for a tiddle. He
flew down the garden shouting and barking at the top of his voice.
I
got a torch, a coat, a pair of wellies and chased him back inside
where he looked most indignant at having his woofing disturbed.
I
went back to bed where I shivered for a while before getting back to
sleep, and was licked awake at 8.30am by a small dog who was acting
as though nothing at all untoward had happened overnight.
Over
brekkie I saw my plans for the day had gone awry. I’d turned down
other offers for the day and not organised any outings so’s I could
help sort out a garden, only to find the gardening day had been
cancelled.
With
‘er indoors TM
off
candle-mongering I found myself at something of a loose end. Mind you
she had left me cake, so I scoffed the one that didn't look like a
penis and then took
“Furry Face TM
“ for a walk. We went round the park and on to Singleton Lake. Half
of the lake was frozen over; the part that wasn’t frozen had loads
of fishermen doing their piscatorial thing. They must love it, it was
really cold.
We
then went round to see “My
Boy TM
” but
he wasn’t in. I had a cuppa with Cheryl and Lacey before coming
home for lunch. Being “Home
Alone”
I treated myself to KFC and watched the first episode of “Extant”.
It shows promise even if I think I can see where the plot is going.
I
then spent much of the rest of the afternoon at the PC. I did the
monthly accounts; they would have been rather healthy had I not just
bought a new back door. And then I bashed my head against the floor
to get my brain working and did some programming. Over the last few
months I’ve published several Wherigo geocaches. The Wherigo is a
GPS-based game played on the SmartPhone. If you know where to look
on-line you can get the base programming and then tweak it to make
your own Wherigos. I’ve done that quite a bit recently, but now I
thought I might have learned enough to write one from scratch. I’ve
made a start on a guide round Ashford. It’s amazing how long it
took to do so little…
After several hours
getting cross with .lua codes I had a shower, turned on the telly and
watched a James Bond film. "The Man with the Golden Gun"
is a film of its time. Racist, sexist; it was relatively entertaining
when first made, but now its rather dated. Did Britt Ekland *really*
need to be running round in a bikini quite so much?
It speaks volumes that
the sort behaviour celebrated and glorified in that film is the very
behaviour for which celebrities of that time are now being
prosecuted.
"er indoors TM"
came home with curry and we settled ourselves in front of the telly
to catch up watching episodes of "Big Bang Theory"
we'd recorded onto the SkyPlus box. They were more entertaining than
James Bond but i can't help but wonder if that too is a show that has
run its course.
Today was dull...
