The puppy had another good night.
However I only slept until 3.30am, then lay awake for a few hours. I expect it
was because I had an alarm set that I didn’t sleep well.
Over brekkie I watched the most recent
episode of “Detectorists” that the
SkyPlus box had recorded, then (with a
little time on my hands) I watched another Star Trek cartoon before
sparking up my lap-top.
It took a little while to start up;
overnight my browser had upgraded itself to “Firefox Quantum”. Billed as being twice as fast, it was noticeably
slower than it had been.
Mind you, even with Firefox Quantum, not
much had changed with Facebook overnight. And with precious few emails of note,
I set off to work.
I got to my car and realised winter is here; I had to
scrape ice from my windscreen. As I drove to work I listened to the radio. What
with late shifts and rostered days off I hadn’t listened to the news for a
while.
It would seem there has been a coup in Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe is out on his arse.
From what I can work out it would appear he has effectively been allowed to
retire gracefully. Many (me included)
would welcome that.
There wasn’t much else worthy of note on the morning’s
news; most of my drive to Maidstone was frankly wasted by listening to some
drivel about a recently appointed Bishop of the Coptic church in London. Surely
the people at the BBC could have found something more newsworthy than that?
I stopped off at Aldi. I was getting low on deodorant; I’ve
always found it best not to skimp on the armpits.
Once at work I had a surprisingly busy day. I was glad when
home time came.
Once home we walked the dogs. Seeing as it was dark they
sported their luminous collars. As we came past the Riverside I had a vague
idea about going in for a pint and some dinner. On the one hand it is a bit
posh in there and they probably wouldn’t have let the dogs in. On the other
hand the place was completely deserted with not a single customer in there.
We didn’t go in.
We came home; "er indoors TM"
boiled up fish and chips and we watched a film. “The Theory
of Everything” was a docu-drama about the life of Professor Stephen Hawking.
And like most films it went on for about half an hour too long…
