I had a late night last
night, finally turning in about 1am. I woke at 2.30am, and lay rather
restless for the rest of the night. I streamed some Sparks albums
from You-Tube on my phone, but I couldn't get back to sleep. I
finally got up at 7am; sulking that I wasn't in a field like I really
should have been. I had a day's leave booked for today specifically
because I was supposed to be in a field. Oh well; a day off when the
weather is good is never a bad thing.
I did more on-line
psychology over brekkie. It's a good course but it is slightly marred
by the fact that the course tutor is a "pushy"
vegetarian. If people choose to be vegetarian then that is their
choice. However there is a vocal minority of vegetarians who push the
fact and seem to delight in trying to lay guilt onto non-vegetarians.
I can't help but feel that there is no place for pro-veggie
propaganda in an on-line psychology course, but what do I know?
I also did the "half-way"
test for the course. I don't think that as an examination it was very
good. It merely asked for a lot of recollection of specific facts and
didn't test any understanding at all.
I then put "Furry
Face TM"'s collar and lead on him and took
him for a walk. He was off the lead for a lot loger than usual today.
He was mostly well behaved, but while we were out he did think that
he'd saved the world from three joggers, two postmen, three cyclists,
two motorbikes, an old lady's shopping trolley, a man wearing a silly
hat and a dustbin lorry. I wish he wouldn't take it on himself to
have woofing fits at anything which moves.
Whilst we were out I hid
a geocache,and found one which had been eluding me for over a month.
Home again - I put more
laundry into the washing machine. Dull I know, but it won't wash
itself. And as the afternoon wore on the clans gathered. Eight of us
then set off to meet even more at the New Chimneys for a birthday
meal, a few beers and Elvis. I do like an Elvis tribute, even if he
is doing Dusty Springfield songs.
Perhaps I'm getting old -
after three pints I came home and went straight to bed...
