I was woken at 4.30am by
the snoring of a small dog. "Furry Face TM"
had crept upstairs during the night and made myself comfortable with
his chin on my shoulder and his beak pushed into in my left ear. I
didn't bother trying to get back to sleep and got up. I came"Merlin"
downstairs to find the lights on our router were flashing like things
possessed. I glanced out of the window and saw the lights were on
next door. I have a sneaking suspicion that "nutty noodle next
door" has worked out our wireless router's password; hence the
frantically flashing lights at the most obscure times. I pulled the
plug on the router for ten minutes just in case.
Over a bit of toast I
watched a rather dire episode of "Earth
2". Why do all series start so good and end up so
lame? "Furry Face TM" came
downstairs ten minutes too late for toast. I was glad he was up
though. Being the twelfth of the month it was time to apply his
anti-flea treatment. The stuff seems to work as I've not found a flea
on him for months. I de-scaled the washing machine as well;
Fudge's de-fleaing and
the washing machine's de-scaling is something of a double act in our
household.
And so to work. Last
night I rather gave up trying to find a new geocache. As it was on
the way to work I tried again this morning. It's amazing what a
little bit of daylight and the lack of torrential rain can do; you
find entire footpaths that you can't see in the dark. Pausing only
briefly to fall over in the mud twice I soon had the cache in hand.
First to find. Happy dance.
I carried on to work;
listening to the radio. The talk was of the disaster in the
Philippines, and of the aid being sent by various countries. I have
grumbled about the bad weather we've had recently. Listening to the
horror stories on the radio made me feel somewhat more grateful for
my lot in life.
Once at work I did my
bit, and then came home again. Last night I had exhausted my stash of
curly-wurlies so I stopped off at the sweetie shop for some white
Maltesers. And the I joined the throng at Arden Drive where we
watched "Merlin".
Or that is everyone else watched "Merlin".
I fell asleep...
