Admittedly I did get home
late from work yesterday evening. But the work hadn’t been that
arduous. So why did I keep nodding off in front of the telly? I wish
I could stop doing that. There will be something good on the box, or
I will be in the middle of an on-line game, or there will be some
valid reason for why I should be paying attention, and all of a
sudden I wake up to find it’s half an hour later, the telly program
has finished, my laptop’s gone into automatic shut-down, and I’ve
woken with a neck-ache. And having had a bit of kip it
somehow stuffs up my
getting a proper kip at night. For all that I actually slept through
last night, I woke tired, and fell asleep at lunch time. If I don’t
nap during the previous evening I’m (usually) good for the
next day.
To work – dull. Over a
break I went over my presentation for tomorrow’s Stargazing Live
event. The latest weather forecast gives it being a cloudy night. Or
to be precise, a rainy evening giving way to a cloudy night. That
would be a nuisance. Whilst (I have to admit) I am very much
an armchair astronomer and have little interest in staring through
telescopes, the whole “staring through telescopes” thing
does rather feature highly in astronomical activities. Oh well –
if it is cloudy I’ll just have a bigger audience for my talk.
Home again - and having
got the table organised, people arrived. Having been round to friends
for dinner before Christmas, tonight we reciprocated. Eight of us sat
down for three courses. Even if I do say so myself, "er
indoors TM" does boil up a decent bit of
scoff. Two choices of soup, two choices of main course, various puds,
home brew, red & white wine, port, Brazilian cocktails. And after
we'd scoffed (probably scoffed too much) we had a game or two
of "Dirty Minds". Long and thin and full of seamen?
HMS Vanguard!!
