Another relatively early
start; another start too early for my dog who again missed out on my
toast because he was asleep.
I popped into Asda on my
way to work to get some cakes. It's been a while since I took cakes
in to work, and cakes are always good.
I'd left for work a
little earlier than usual, and it was as well that I had done so. The
roads were very congested this morning; the sudden appearence of a
sink hole in the M2 motorway had lead to a lot of traffic being
diverted and consequently getting in my way. The traffic was queued
back about a mile or so out of Canterbury this morning; so I took a
rather scenic route in via the back lanes. I was amazed that no one
else had done so.
There was an interesting
article on the radio about the weather. Looking beyond the current
constant rain the last few years have seen record breaking weather.
Hottest, coldest, driest, wettest.
The pundits were asking
if this is evidence of global warming in action. Ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer Nigel
Lawson was on the radio this morning. An eminent meteorologist
was discussing the matter, and every time he quoted a fact or a
figure, Nigel Lawson blithely dismissed it as speculation. Things
which had been accurately and repeatedly measured were pooh-poohed
time and again. It must be wonderful to be an eminent politician and
get away with burying your head in the sand.
And so to work. Once my
bit was done I came home again. Apart from the cakes, today was
reallly dull...
