I was up far too early again this morning. As I scoffed
toast I watched more “Poldark” in which Master Drake was up for a
portion, but Mistress Morwenna wasn’t having any of it, and Ross would seem to
have fallen foul of the Georgian MI5.
I then had a quick look round the Internet as I do most
mornings. It was still there. Our new MP was posting all sorts of nonsense to
his Facebook page. His predecessor had a way of posting all sorts of local news
to his Facebook page in such a way that he seemed to be somehow taking the
credit for everyone else’s efforts, and our new chap seems to be following in
the same vein.
There wasn’t much else going on, so I got ready for work.
I set off for work listening to the pundits on the
radio as I do. Apparently the Russians
took a pot shot at the nuclear power station in
Chernobyl yesterday- the one that went bang all those years ago and is still
pretty dangerous. The Ukrainian leader claims that this shows that the Russians
have no interest in negotiating a cease fire, and was being rather vocal on the
matter. I can't help but think that he should watch his lip. Several so-called
experts were wheeled on who talked about Ukraine and Gaza and seemed to feel
that President Trump doesn't think that the USA should be forever sorting
out the world's problems any more. He's probably got a point - how much
does the USA spent on other people's problems? Probably far more than they want
to. There was then quite a bit of doom and gloom expressed about what might
happen on a global scale if the USA takes an isolationist stance. The Russians
and Chinese would have pretty much a free hand to invade where they please. Not
that the Russians can really afford it.
I got to work. I wasn't supposed to be working today,
but I'd been asked to pop in and help for the morning. I was happy to do so. I
didn't have much planned for today other than a dog walk, and that could be put
back a few hours. I did a morning’s worth of work and came home at mid-day and
we went for our walk then.
Morgan was funny. I’ve decided he’s not a “morning”
dog. Every morning when it is walk time he won’t get out of his basket and will
run upstairs to avoid going out, even though he clearly loves it when we get to
the woods. But if offered a walk later in the day he’s dead keen.
We went to the woods and walked a little further than
usual. Bailey saw a squirrel at extreme distance and nearly caught it. Morgan
nearly had a dead mouse. All three totally missed the herd of deer crossing the
path fifty yards in front of us, and didn’t even notice when they stopped and (really
did) pose for the camera.
Amazingly the dogs got back to the car reasonably clean,
and didn’t need a bath once we got home.
Once home I phoned Kent County Council’s Highways
department about the barriers blocking off the parking bay outside the house.
They said that there was nothing planned up our road and that they would get
someone to look into what was going on, and gave me a reference number – 860893.
“er indoors TM” went off out with
Steve and Sarah to see some comedian or other. I boiled myself up a pizza (which
was nowhere near as difficult as I thought it might be) and settled on the
sofa with the dogs and had a Poldark-a-thon. I’ve seen all of that show
now – it took just over a month to binge-watch all five seasons. I wonder what
I shall watch next.
