I
slept well, but woke to find my stomach hurt even more this morning.
The bruising is becoming rather impressive. Over brekkie I watched an
old episode of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie". I used to
enjoy that series when it first came out. I was rather disappointed
to find that it hasn't stood the test of time.
I
then had a little look-see on-line. I got just the teensiest bit
cross with what I saw. My ex-brother in law had posted something
(rather
hate-inspired)
on Facebook whinging about how many Mayors of various places in
the UK are Muslims. Personally I think the reason that so many Mayors
are Muslims is because they are the ones who've got off their arses
and stood for election and their religion is utterly irrelevent to
being Mayor of anything (but what do I know?)
I
also saw a post with the slogan "We didn't fight 2 World Wars
to be ruled by the EU". Bearing in mind the most recent of
these wars was over seventy years ago are we as a nation *really*
this jingoistic? And do those how post this stuff have any idea which
countries were on which side during those wars?
I
resisited the temptation to get in to arguments (this time).
On
a lighter not I saw that there is to be (another) Doctor
Who spin-off TV series. Details are somewhat sketchy at the
moment. Mind you my hopes aren't high. I never liked "Sarah-Jane
Adventures" or "Torchwood".
And
I saw what I considered to be a blast
from the past. A restaurant in West Malling owes a butcher
several thousand pounds. This butcher has got fed up with waiting for
his money and has taken to standing outside the restaurant with a
placard saying how much the restaurant owes him.
When
I was a child the local corner shop would put up posters saying how
much people owed them in unpaid bills when payments weren't
forthcoming. It wasn't long between the shop's starting this policy
and their going bankrupt. I wonder if this butcher will go the same
way?
When
I got into my car the radio was giving the hourly sports bulletin.
I've always maintained that sport (of any flavour) is
something you do, *not* something you watch or listen to.
Consequently it failed to grip my attention. It wasn't till I got to
work that I realised I'd not actually listened to anything the radio
had to say this morning. (Which was probably good for my blood
pressure)
Instead
I'd been mentally planning out a Wherigo which I hope to release with
the summer picnic that I'm organising for the geo-crowd in August.
It will be (loosely) based on the beetle drives I used to do
as a fund-raiser with the scouts in years gone by.
I
went in to work; I had toyed with asking for today as a day off. I
was glad I hadn't done that; it rained for much of the morning. But
it brightened up as the afternoon wore on. After work I met "er
indoors TM" and "Furry Face TM"
at Badlesmere and we went for a little stroll looking for places in
which to conceal tupperware. It doesn't hide itself you know...
