I slept right through till half past seven this
morning I woke with a bit of a cold. That was a pain in the glass,
I opened today’s window of the
Advent Calendar then made toast. I scoffed it whilst having my usual root
around the Internet. It was still there. This morning there were rants about
genetics and socialism in which people were queueing up to proudly show off
their ignorance and loudly proclaim their opinions which were factually wrong.
It never fails to amaze me just how so many stupid people are so fast to show
off how stupid they are.
Once I’d scraped the ice off of the car I took the
dogs out. As I drove Cher was on the radio on “Desert Island Discs”. She
sounded rather interesting.
We got to the woods where there were far more people
than usual. Sadly we arrived at the same time as a pair we’ve met before. They
are pleasant enough, but their volume setting has nothing less than “bellow”.
Walking a couple of yards from each other they were shouting everything they
had to say to each other. And they walked fast too; no matter what diversions
we took to get away from them, they kept turning up in front of us.
Then we met some immaculately turned-out woman in the
depths of the woods who got the right hump when muddy Morgan and muddy Bailey
jumped up at her.
And we met the yummy mummies (and dogs) running
group. We see them from time to time. They are aways friendly. Today some chap
had joined in with them.
The beast. Mind you they were quite happily trotting
along and he looked knackered.
Just as I got home the car’s low petrol alarm went
off. So I bathed the dogs and then drove down to Tesco to refuel. After five
minutes struggling with a non-functioning petrol pump the woman in the kiosk
announced over the tannoy that the pump was broken, and that was why everyone
else was using the other pumps. I shouted back that in that case I would take
my money to Sainsburys and did so. Eventually. The roads were rather busy this
morning. I had to emergency stop twice to avoid crashing into people randomly
cutting me up. And when I got to Sainsburys the queues to get into the car park
stretched about a hundred yards in each direction.
It was such a relief to get home.
I took myself off to bed for the afternoon where I
dozed fitfully. I got up after a couple of hours and set about my lap-top’s
settings. I’ve struggled to see the mouse pointer for some time. It’s now pink.
Now to get dressed, scoff dinner and kick some ass at
family bingo before going off to the night shift.
