Another good night's
sleep. Possibly something to do with the two thirds of a bottle of
port I shifted last night. I got out of my pit shortly after 9am and
tuned in to the Internet. Cyber space was all a-twitch about snow.
Some places had a light sprinkling overnight, others had the threat
of a light sprinkling. And everyone was on tenterhooks about snow.
I'd been hoping for a major downfall so's I could go sledging. We'd
had none overnight.
I took Fudge for the
standard walk, and gave up half way round. I like to let him off the
lead, but when he blanked me for the second time and wouldn't come
back I saw red. I caught him more through luck than obedience, so he
went straight back on the lead and we came home. As we came I felt
bad and wondered if I'd been too harsh on him so we came through the
co-op field where I tried him off the lead again. He was fine. He
only runs amok when other dogs are about.
Once home I was bored. I
had half a plan to walk over to Godington to do a spot of geocaching,
but I didn't want to go with just Furry Face. So I watched "Danger
UXB" DVDs whilst Fudge sat on the back of the sofa and
barked at the universe as it passed our window. In between episodes
of nostalgia I continued with my mission of bringing order to the
chaos that is the living room. Today it was the turn of the area
round the wine rack. I've not been happy with the tangle of cables
round it for some time, so I had the whole lot out. The wine rack had
somehow stuck to the shelf it was on, but I eventually prised it
loose, re-wired everything a whole lot tidier, and put everything
back. This little job only took an hour, but it looks better for
having been done. Whilst I was at it I found some rather nice bottles
of Biddenden cider (still unopened) which expired in September
2008. I'm hoping cider don't go off. If it does I'll either mull it,
or save it for when everyone is suitably refreshed at camp over the
summer.
As I pootled so the snow
started to fall. By the time it was dark there was almost enough snow
to cover the ground,, and panic was reigning supreme across the
Internet. Mind you for all that it's easy to be flippant, and whilst
I do realise that other parts of the world cope with deep snow for
months on end, the simple fact is that with two inches off snow,
England does stop. I can't help that it's all gone by the time I have
to go back to work.
"er indoors TM"
came home and we had a "Grimm-o-thon"; clearing
episodes of "Grimm" from the Sky-Plus box. An odd
series - the first season started well, but it didn't seem to go
anywhere, and the beginning episodes of the second season don't seem
to be going anywhere either. Or perhaps they are but I'm not paying
enough attention. It's certainly not gripping me. But we need to get
them watched - we've also got the entire series of "Sinbad"
to watch as well...
