I had a good night’s sleep, but again woke with a very
painful right hip. Am I overdoing the walking? Let’s hope not.
I got up, did the usual morning things, and peered into the
Internet as I scoffed toast as I do. I rolled my eyes as I looked at some of
the work-related Facebook pages. People post up photos of blood films taken
from people with various conditions, and I’m probably not far off in thinking
that no matter what the condition, over ninety per cent of people looking at
the pictures say “malaria” regardless. I can only hope these people
aren’t in positions where their opinions are taken seriously.
And this morning’s petty argument was on a telly-related
page on which people were arguing about why the fictional character Richard
Bucket (pronounced Boo-quet) ever married the equally fictional Hyacinth
(out of “Keeping up Appearances).
Despite the drizzle I took the dogs up to the woods for a
walk. As we drove the pundits on the radio were talking about how President
Putin of Russia is off visiting India today. Pretty
much everyone seems worried that India is seemingly chumming up to the
Russians, but after President Trump’s sticking tariffs on everyone and
everything can anyone really be surprised about this.
We got to the woods where we barked at the normal people,
chased a herd of deer, chewed on the squirrel carcass we found yesterday,
rolled in fox poo and ate a dead mouse. All of which whilst it hossed down with
rain. Some days our walk in the woods is more eventful than others.
We came home for a warm bath and a cuppa. I Munzed, and
Wordled through “other”, “taint” and “tiddy” to get “tulip”
on the fourth attempt.
And then the postman came. And my piss boiled.
If anyone ever comments that the country is hard up, or
that there is a financial crisis, just laugh in their face. The country clearly
is in an incredibly amazingly very good financial position. It must be; how and
why else would the government be able to afford to waste money writing to me to
tell me that I will react State Pension age in 2031, and that they will write
to me to tell me how to claim some time in October 2030.
I got the ironing board out and set about the ironing. As I
did my plan was to watch a DVD… We bought a new DVD player the other day which
would be able to play the multi-region DVDs we’d bought off of eBay over the
years… Sadly it couldn’t play any of our standard DVDs that we bought from
shops.
Fortunately we still had the old DVD player, and it didn’t
take that long to plumb it back in again.
Hopefully “er indoors TM” kept
the receipt.
As I ironed I started watching “The Charmer”; a rather
good TV series based on the books of Patrick Hamilton. And with
ironing ironed I carried on watching the DVDs from under a pile of dogs. I
watched the entire lot this afternoon.
“er indoors TM” came home from
work and boiled up a rather good steak dinner which we scoffed whilst watching
more “Game
of Wool”.
I’ve got a stomach ache to go with the iffy hip… and here’s
today’s
Advent Adventure.
