As
I drove home from work the radio was talking about the seventieth
anniversary of the defeat of Japan at the end of World War II. The
Japanese Prime Minister was in the news about the matter; whilst in
no way belittling the atrocities, he's refused to make any more
apologies about the Japanese
involvement in World War II.
He was quoted as saying "future
Japanese generations should not have to keep apologizing".
I realise that I am in a minority of two (me
and the Japanese Prime Minister)
but I think the chap's got a point.
I
really wanted to do something today; the trouble with the day between
the night shifts is that it can easily be a non-event. Bearing in
mind I needed to put the finishing touches to a geo-series which I am
planning for next Saturday's geo-picnic I thought I'd geo-go and
geo-do that this morning.
Feeling
somewhat tired I co-opted "er
indoors TM"
to do the driving, and we took "Furry
Face TM"
as he is apt to get a tad fractious if not regularly walked to
destruction. And talking of being walked to destruction, my dog hurt
his leg whilst we were out. For a little while he seemed to be
limping. I picked him up and gave him a once-over. Something seemed
to fall from the problematical paw and then he was fine. I think he
must have got a stone stuck in his foot.
We
were only walking for an hour or so; all the geo-stuff got done. I
even took a few photos whilst
we were walking.
We came home, and after
a spot of lunch I took myself off to bed for the afternoon hoping
for a better kip than I had acheived yesterday. I slept like a log
until the alarm went at 5pm.
A rather good bit of tea,
then off to work for another night shift...
