I slept well last night.
I suppose it's only to be expected after two night shifts and a
drinking session with an old drinking buddy. "er indoors TM"
alarm woke me shortly after 7am; probably just as well. I would have
slept on till much later but I had to be up; the dishwasher doctor
was due sometime between 7.30am and 11.30am.
I got up, had brekkie,
and checked out the Internet. Seeng how what I'd posted to the astro
club's Facebook page last night seems to have passed the new
guidelines I made the effort to post more stuff. There was an article
about how all the names
assigned to features on the planet Pluto during the recent New
Horizons fly-by are totally unofficial and how the International
Astronomical Union don't agree with them.
Mind you the IAU seem to
have a history of talking twaddle.
I *tried* not to
over-excite "Furry Face TM" this
morning. He somehow knows when I'm not working, and on those days
he's come to expect that the first thing we do is go for our walk.
Today's walk had to wait. But not for long. Mr Fixer arrived at
8.30am and he was gone by 9am. The heating element had an open
circuit apparently. Presumably it now has a closed one.
So, having said goodbye
to the dishwasher doctor I took "Furry Face TM"
for a walk. We didn't go far as we walked into torrential rain. We
went round the block and came home again to find the postman had
been. He'd delivered a letter from the council which was dated from
the twenty-first of this month. It had taken six days to get to us. I
wrote a reply and took it to the council office myself. Even with
"Furry Face TM" stopping to sniff
every ten yards we still got to the council offices in under fifteen
minutes.
I told that to the nice
lady on the desk. She didn't *actually* tell me that she
didn't care; she didn't need to.
We came home through the
torrential rain, and as "Furry Face TM"
slept I had a bite of lunch and watched another fan-made Star Trek
rip off. Star
Trek Hidden Frontier is.... what can I say? I suppose it would be
better if the lead character wasn't obviously suffering from stage
fright. But the first episode wasn't *that* bad. Apparently
there are fifty episodes of the show. I shall see how it turns out.
I then spent another five
hours programming James Bond into a Wherigo. Programming isn't easy.
If only it would do what I want it to do and not what I'm telling it
to do.
"er indoors TM"
boiled up a rather good bit of dinner, and we caught up with some of
the stuff we'd recorded onto the SkyPlus box. Last night's Bake Off
was very good, and then we watched the last episode of Yonderland.
Hope they make more of that show...
