After the excesses of
last night I didn't get out of my pit until gone 10am this morning,
That happens so rarely. Over a spot of brekkie I had a look at the
New Year's Honours List. I suppose that there are decent people in
that list who have been given recognition for tireless effort in
charitable work. Mind you there is no denying that a lot of awards
have been given to people in recognition for various things for which
they already get six (or more) figure salaries.
Having seen decent people
doing all sorts of community work for years for no reward, and all
sorts of other people getting medals for doing their paid job I am
utterly convinced that the so-called "honours" system
should be scrapped.
I took "Furry
Face TM" for his walk as he seemed to be
going stir-crazy. We had an urban walk today as the fields would be
so wet after the rain, and I wanted to see how many other people had
had their fences blown down.
We came home just as er
indoors TM" was going out shopping, so I
made myself a cuppa and did the monthly accounts. Could be a whole
lot worse I suppose. I backed up the year's digital photos; a job
which didn't take anywhere near as long as I thought it might, and
with the weather against doing anything I then played Candy Crush
until er indoors TM" came home.
We then went down to
Folkestone for the traditional New Year bash. Excellent food, good
fun. I learned the dangers of hob nobs.
A shame that a recovering
back decided to act up.... 2013 hasn't been a bad year really; but it
could have gone better in a few places. Let's seen what the future
holds...
