I slept reasonably well, but was still wide awake at five
o’clock. I watched the last episode of “Back” then sparked up my
lap-top. I had a message from the Facebook feds. On Monday I was presented with
a posting of a picture of a close-up of full-on lady bits. I reported it, but
apparently it didn’t go against their Community Standards. One lives and
learns. There wasn’t much else of note happening on-line this morning really.
I sent out some birthday wishes to people on my Friends
list who were having a birthday today as sending birthday wishes to anyone else
would be silly, and got ready for work.
As I walked up the road I listened to the most
beautiful dawn chorus... sung by sparrows. Who would have thought that such common
plain little things could sing so wonderfully. I'm rather taken with
my birdsong app.
As I drove to work the pundits on the radio were
talking about how the co-op's supply chain has been comprehensively poggered by
the recent cyber-attack. That would
explain why the local co-op looked like the locusts had just swarmed through. Apparently
the attack was done by "scattered spider"
- a bunch of teenagers. I'd send them to bed with no supper and
take their phones off of them, but what do I know?
The co-op’s sandwiches aisle was pretty much empty, so
I went to Sainsbury's instead. If nothing else, Sainsbury's do coronation
chicken.
I got to work and had rather a full-on day. But as I
worked I got a reply to the email I sent to the county councillor. I
emailed him about Operation Brock last night and he replied this morning.
Apparently he don't actually start counciling until tomorrow, but he assures me
he's on the case, and is looking to stockpile all the lorries on Lyddon Hill
race course. I can't say I like his party, but he's replied quicker than
his predecessor did, and he's come up with a concrete proposal.
That's a step in the right direction. I wonder if he
can sort the flooding by Asda? I’ve asked him if he might have a go.
Another early start made for another early finish. It’s
only a shame that the roads are so busy at early shift kick-out. It took twice
as long to drive the two miles from work to the motorway as it did to drive the
seventeen miles down the motorway.
We took the dogs out. For a change we tried Ham Street
Woods. The drizzle probably didn’t help but it was rather muddy in places. But
on the plus side the dogs were well-behaved. There’s something about Orlestone
Woods which sets them off; they are willful and take an age to come when called
when we are there. But they were as good as gold this evening. It’s just a
shame that Ham Street Woods are so small.
As we walked the Red Route of a mile and a quarter I tried
out my bird song app. I detected nine birds this evening including two new
ones. A jackdaw and a mistle thrush. Or “Missile thrush” as it was known
to the more simple-minded of the Red Lake Primary School bird club. I was a
member of my primary school’s bird club. We had great times – we’d go out for a
walk one lunchtime every week under the gimlet eye of Mrs. Wright, and pretty
much every week we had one reported sighting of a golden eagle.
We came home where all the dogs had a bath.
I’ve only done ten thousand steps today… that’s the lowest
step count for some time …
