Up with the lark, and
after my morning fix of Family Guy I set off to work. The morning's
news was not especially memorable. Mind you there was lots of
excitement about the new-look
pound coin to be released in three years time. The new coin is to
be based on the appearence of the old threepenny bit because the old
threepenny bit was incredibly popular. The chap on the radio went so
far as to claim that the threepenny bit was voted most popular coin
many times during its lifetime.
Firstly I couldn't help
but wonder who would be sad enough to vote for their favourite coin;
but then I realised that someone else had been paid to run that
survey.
And so to work. I did my
bit, and at lunch time went for a little walk. When I came back I sat
in the rest room and watched the television news about today's
budget statement. As with pretty much every other budget, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer gave with one hand and takes with the
other. I've done a little research and I can't see that I will be
noticeably any better or worse off.
With my bit at work done
I came home. The evening's news on the radio was all about budget and
Crimea. It would seem that the Russian takeover of Crimea is now all
but completed; and all that is left is the empty posturing by the
western governments.
Once home I popped the
lead onto "Furry Face TM" and
took him round teh block. He was especially problematical this
evening; picking fights with bicycles as well as the usual motorbikes
and juggernauts. With the walk over I had a little sti-down to rest
my nerves (they get frayed by that dog) and I checked my
emails. I've had an offer of a free saxophone lesson; a "taster"
to see how I get on. That will be something to do on Saturday
afternoon.
"er indoors TM"
came home with curry, and we scoffed it whilst watching episodes of
Big Bang Theory and guzzling a bottle of Merlot. I dozed off several
times. As usual asleep when I want to be awake, and so to bed where I
shall spend most of the night wide awake...
