A restless night. I had a
little grin when I heard my dog creeping up the stairs at 4am. He
knows he shouldn't come upstairs so he tries to be stealthy, but
there are some creaking floorboards which always give him away. He
leapt onto the bottom of the bed, made himself comfortable and went
to sleep. I really should have taken him back to his bed downstairs,
but he wasn't hurting anyone by being there.
Over brekkie I watched an
episode of a new program. Well, new to me. "Early
Doors"
is from the people who
wrote another favourite show of mine (The Royle Family). I
hadn't seen it before. Featuring the mundane lives of some average
people in a mundane pub it was absolutely brilliant. I couldn't
believe that the program is ten years old. Why have I not seen this
before? What other gems have I missed?
With a few minutes spare
I had a look at the astro club's accounts. Before last night's
meeting all the cash was accounted for. Last night we took money in
the form of membership renewals and people joining. We took money
from the raffle, and we spent money on the ingredients of
refreshments. So why was it that when I counted up the cash we were
nineteen quid adrift?
I shall have to have
another look at that when I get a minute.
And so to work. There was
a minor disaster as my car refused to start. I pressed the button to
make things happen and all that actually happened was a clicking
sound. A message came up saying to turn the steering wheel. I did and
tried to start the car again, but to no avail. So I got out, closed
the door, locked it, then unlocked it and tried again. This time all
was fine. I wonder what that was all about. I do hope my car's not
planning to start playing up. That would be all that I needed bearing
in mind that the vet insurance has stumped up a lot less than I was
hoping that they would after "Furry Face TM"'s
recent hospitalisation.
Two days ago I tried to
find a geocache on my way to work. In fact on Thursday morning I
tried to find three, and didn't find any. This morning I had another
look along Cheeseman's Green to see if I could find one of the ones I
missed. I found it almost straight away. It's amazing the difference
that being able to see what you are doing makes.
My piss boiled when I
heard the morning's news. A
member of the European Parliament has apparently made the
announcement that "no “sane” person from a professional
background would enter politics now because they face being vilified
for holding convictions". Holding convictions!!! This chap
obviously hasn't seen the dribbling partner of our current coalition
government who would say that black was white to gain political
office. I might not like the predominant party of the government, but
at least they have policies and stick to them.
Once at work I did my
bit. The day was busy, and for me it was rather uncomfortable. The
elastic had gone in my undercrackers. Having my "junk"
slopping here there and thither wasn't conducive to comfort, and I
was glad when home time came.
Those pants are now in
the bin, More expense..
