I slept well, but was still awake a tad earlier than I
might have been. I seriously thought about having a shave. But with a hundred
and thirty quid raised for MoVember so far I thought I’d better not.
I made toast and watched an episode of “The Comic Strip”;
Netflix appears to be presenting them in random order for some reason. I had a
look at the Internet. Not much had changed overnight, but I did have an email
about a new Earthcache… in France. I Munzed, then taking care not to wake
anyone I got ready for work.
As I walked to my car so a couple of kids (in secondary
school uniforms) were having a great time over the road playing silly
beggars in a supermarket shopping trolley. One was sitting in it, one was
pushing them up and down the road. Both were squealing with laughter.
Interestingly as I drove off the pundits on the radio were
talking about how there are moves afoot to have smartphones banned from
schools, but loads of parents were dead against the ban as they use the
smartphones to
track the children. It’s all very well tracking the kids, but do you know
what they are getting up to in supermarket trolleys? I never tracked “My Boy TM” or
“Daddies’ Little Angel TM”, and I was never tracked
myself. Mind you, looking back my mother would have laid an egg if she’d known
I was clambering up the cliffs beneath Hastings Castle or playing on the
railway track in Coghurst Woods.
There was also talk about Sir Paul McCartney who has
released a new
autobiography. Personally I’ve never much cared for his music, but I know
I’m in a minority there.
The roads were very busy this morning; I was glad I’d got a
sandwich at the local co-op as the motorway was heaving. It took an hour to get
to work today.
Work was work… I did my e-learning on information
governance today. Governance… does anyone *really* know what that means?
Many years ago when I was a manager I wanted to do something or other one way (I
can’t remember exactly what it was) and all the other managers wanted to do
it the other way. Somehow keeping a straight face I said that we had to do
whatever it was my way as there were governance issues… and everyone
immediately backed down and let me have my way.
And four days of not shaving didn’t go unnoticed by my
colleagues… several people commented that they’d never seen me unshaven before.
The roads were equally busy coming home. “er
indoors TM” boiled up a very good bit of dinner which
we scoffed whilst watching the final of Bake-Off. Normally we would have
recorded it and watched it tomorrow, fast-forwarding through the adverts. But
there will be endless spoilers about the result tomorrow…
I won’t say who won.
And don’t forget that there’s still time (nearly a whole
month) to give a bung for this annoying MoVember thing… I’m over half-way
to hitting my second target.
