After a frankly terrible
night's sleep I got up and on seeing "Furry Face TM"
was also up and about I thought we'd have some fun. I got out my
laser pointer and thought he might like to chase the laser spot.
After all other dogs and cats enjoy playing that game. My furry
associate had no interest in charging about after a spot of light;
instead he started whining and crying. He wanted the actual laser
pointer itself. Presumably he thought it was a stick he could chew.
I gave up with that idea
and had brekkie instead. I watched a couple of episodes of Family Guy
as I scoffed, but half an hour later had no idea what they had been
about. I can remember enjoying them, but as for what happened...?
I checked my emails; a
new geocache had gone live. Not only was it less than two miles from
home it was also on my way to work. It had been out for nearly an
hour, so I had no thoughts of getting a First to Find, but it would
be something to cheer up what might be an otherwise dull morning. So
I set off, and to my surprise on one else had charged out and I was
first. That was a nice little bonus.
As I carried on to work
the news was of the (apparently) scandalous behaviour of
Malaysian Airlines who had formally told grieving relatives that they
had abandoned all hope of their being any survivors of the missing
flight MH370. It was considered bad form to make the announcement
by text message. I can't help but feel that bearing in mind the
hype that the media had stirred up about this, they were hardly in
any position to take the moral high ground.
I had another saxophone
practice session at lunch time. The idea of practicing in the works
car park was that my dog wouldn't sing along. After only a couple of
minutes spent squawking I realised I had an audience; a labrador had
appeared from nowhere and was watching me intently. Eventually his
owner showed up; I was told that he was interested by the sounds I
was making. I suppose that was a result.
Once home I took "Furry
Face TM" for his evening walk. We went to
have a look for that geocache of mine that I couldn't find yesterday.
I'm pretty sure it's gone; the area where it was has had a rather
intense tidy-up. I shall archive the listing.
Being Tuesday the clans
gathered. Tonight at Queens Road. We played Jelly Splash, we
considered possible casting for the Carry On film that was never
made, we watched (or slept through) Merlin. I wish I could
have stayed awake through that program and had that sleep in the
middle of the night...
