I slept well last night
for a change, and got up shortly after 7am. I put the last of the
food left over from last week's party out for the recycling dustmen.
It was probably all past it's best by Monday and was probably the
reason why I had bad guts during the week.
Whilst I am glad that we
had enough to feed everyone at the party, it's a shame so much went
to waste.
Normally I would have
taken "Furry Face TM" for his
walk, but the rain was rather extreme, so I did chores and some more
of my "future of the internet" essay until I gave in
to his worrying to go out. The rain hadn't abated, and we were only
out for five minutes before I was soaked to the skin and my dog
resembled a sea lion.
We came home and I did
more of my on-line course. I'm now onto internet technology, and with
ninety per cent in today's quiz and one hundred per cent in my first
essay I suppose the course is going well. During the video lectures
"Furry Face TM" jumped onto my
lap, looked me in the eye and stole one of my biscuits. He raided
choccy from er indoors TM" handbag
yesterday. I think it's time to take a firmer line with that dog.
With the rain having
slackened off to a medium monsoon I walked the pestilential pup round
the park. He was relatively well behaved, even if a passing normal
person warned his child not to stroke "every wild dog you see
in the park".
Home again. Earlier on
Facebook I'd read that KFC
are going against God and Nature by breeding multi-legged
mult-winged (and presumably multi-breasted) birds to sell in
their establishments. It never fails to amaze me how the public
beleive such utter drivel, but it left me fancying KFC for lunch.
TIme was I would have that stuff all the time. Now it's an ocassional
treat. As I scoffed I watched "The
Moonbase"
DVD which "My Boy TM" had got
me for my birthday. A Doctor Who story from nearly fifty years ago,
only half of the show exists; the other half has been reconstructed
in animated format, and is absolutely brilliant (or really sad,
depending on how much of a geek you are).
And then being the last
Friday of the month I set off to astro club. We had an AGM; albeit a
little overdue. I was again elected as Treasurer. It's not an arduous
position, but it's something I can do for the club. We then had a
presentation about future plans, I hawked the raffle, and Stevey gave
a rather good synopsis of the constellation Leo. It was only a shame
I had to leave early. Got to work tomorrow...
