With my beloved out
flogging candles I had something of an early night last night. And
after twenty minutes I went downstairs to comfort Fudge who was
crying pitifully. I must have not secured the dog-proofing as I am
reliably informed that when my beloved came home Fudge was fast
asleep on my bed. Can't think how that happened. It's odd that when
she's home in the evenings he takes himself off to bed and doesn't
make any fuss.
This morning I had a
quick dose of Earth, Wind and Fire in Trap One, and then did the
weekly weigh-in. The day on which I have my weekly weigh-in has
become rather variable lately, but I do average a weigh-in once a
week. And more weight has come off. At this rate being under thirteen
stones is seeming more and more possible. Yesterday I had to drill
yet another hole in my belt which is a good six inches tighter than
once it was.
To work. I listened to
the end of the morning's news program as I drove. Consumer groups are
worried about energy costs as their experts have predicted that the
government is doing something daft. Apparently government subsidies
of green energy will add a hundred quid to our yearly fuel bills. The
Energy Minister came on the program and was rather amazed because his
experts are all of the impression that green energy will save us all
a hundred quid every year. Personally I'm all for green energy; but
I'm not all for increased bills.
There was also mention
that there are moves afoot for Mexico to have a change
of name. The country's president wants the name changed to just
"Mexico" as opposed to "The United States of
Mexico" which is it's real name, but is rarely (if ever)
used. I suspect that Mexico only gets called The United States of
Mexico by its mum when she is cross with it.
Then it was "Desert
Island Discs", this time featuring the television
producer John Lloyd. He's one of the brains behind much of
successful telly including Spitting Image and Blackadder to name but
two. Unlike many of the people on "Desert Island Discs",
this bloke was witty, articulate and actually interesting. It was a
shame I missed the end of the program really.
I did my bit at work and
came home. Rather late. I listened to the news on the way home too.
Rather
worrying. With the Prime Minister not having secured as much as a
rebate from the euro bill as he might have hoped,he's now playing to
the crowd with teasing references to a euro-referendum. He's not
daft. It will appeal to the jingoistic element. It's a vote winner.
Britain will be out of the E.U. within ten years. And at war with it
shortly after....
Meanwhile the mo grows
apace. There's no denying that I hate the thing, but it is raising
some money for a good cause. please feel
free to sponsor it; in one week it is coming off.
