28 May 2025 (Wednesday) - Dull

I slept well, which was something of a result, but was still wide awake a couple of hours earlier than I might have been.
Over toast I watched the first episode of the new series of “Big Mouth” then had a quick look at the Internet just in case I’d missed anything overnight. I always check it every morning; there’s rarely much of note. There wasn’t this morning. I munzed, but on my new shirt (which had arrived via eBay yesterday) and got ready for work.
 
I wandered off down the road to find my car.  I'd parked it a couple of streets away yesterday for the simple reason that I couldn't park any closer to home.
As I walked so a driving school car came by... rather slowly. Was someone seriously having a driving lesson at quarter to seven?
 
I drove round to the co-op where I spent a few minutes fighting with the self-service checkout. I eventually realised that the problem was me. What I thought was a five pence piece was a Canadian ten cent piece; the self service machine knew the difference and wasn't having any of it.
 
I drove up the motorway - the Operation Brock stupidity had gone. The thing had been in place for less than a week, and had cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. If the county council claim to be skint, that's an economy they could make.
There was then talk about how the new German premier is looking to be seen to be leading NATO as the general consensus is that America isn't keen to do so.
And there was talk about legalising cannabis. Personally I hope it doesn't happen - the stuff stinks.
The news today was on the dull side.
 
I got to work and did my bit; albeit in a bit of a sulk. Having spent much of my day yesterday at a loose end as it had been raining, today was bright and dry. there was so much I could have done at home. I spent the day showing one of the trainees what's what. I quite like doing that. However so that he gained experience, he did all the work and I just stood and watched that he didn’t stuff it up. That was a tad dull too.
 
Today was dull…
