A late finish at work
last night followed by an astro club committee meeting meant for
getting home very late. By the time I'd had a bit ot tea I didn't get
to bed until far later than I should have done. Within minutes of
nodding off I was woken by my mobile. I'd received a picture message
of my grand-dog and grand-cat fast asleep. Feeling glad that someone
was sleeping (!) I eventually got back to kip, only to be
woken by some drunkard shouting the odds up the street at 3am.
Consequently I was rather
tired today.
Work was work, and I came
home to find "er indoors TM" out
for the evening. Fending for myself entailed boiling myself up some
beans on toast: a good trick if you can do it. I then turned on the
telly and watched "Adventures of a Private Eye".
It's an amazingly low budget film that was on telly at the weekend
and I'd recorded onto the Sky-Plus box. If nothing else, it featured
Jon Pertwee in the nip.
Having wasted an hour or
so, I found myself at a bit of a loose end. There was nothing on the
telly or on the Sky Plus box. I could have worked on my presentation
for Stargazing Live. But I don't have Microsoft Office on my laptop
and I couldn't be bothered to go upstairs. I could have got my
paints out and been artistic. But I couldn't be bothered.
Eventually I found that "Rock and Chips" - the
prequel to "Only Fools and Horses" was on one of the
satellite channels, so I put that on and spent the rest of the
evening exchanging insults with most of humanity via Facebook instant
messages. And occasionally getting angry with everyone else's
ability at on-line scrabble. Why is it that I can make the word
"contrafibularity" and only get two points, whilst
everyone else gets ten thousand points for words like "it"
and "the"...
Some days in my life are
frankly wonderful. Others are so dull....
