I'd booked today as a
day's holiday, feeling I might need a rest after a weekend away. It
was odd sleeping back on the CPAP machine; I think I do get more
sleep with that thing blowing air up my nose; but perhaps only an
hour or so more sleep than I used to get.
I had intended taking
"Furry Face TM" for something of a
long walk today, but he was really badly behaved; refusing to
acknowledge me when he was off the lead. He was back to his bad old
self of being missing for too long; I lost him for over fifteen
minutes so when he finally appeared (looking really frightened
that he'd got himself lost) I put his lead back on him and
brought him home.
I then went up to town.
"er indoors TM" had a parcel that
needed collecting, and as I was passing I went in to the phone shop
to talk about my upcoming mobile upgrade. I came out with my new
phone. I've only ever heard one person who actively dislikes the
Samsung Galaxy phones, so I got a Galaxy S4.
Whilst I was at it I
stopped off at the Sky shop and upgraded the TV package so I can now
get all the "On Demand" stuff too.
And as a celebration of
the New World Order of technology I treated myself to a black forest
gateau milk shake and KFC for lunch. I've been going into that branch
of KFC since before "My Boy TM"
was born and in that (nearly) thirty years they have never
employed anyone who speaks even half-way decent English. Today I
conveyed my order by a series of pointing and shaking my head as the
assistant recited the menu.
Once home I scoffed my
KFC, then despite the nice man in the phone shop having copied all my
data over, I spent an hour (or three) re-installing all the
apps and reconfiguring the phone to how I want it to be. I've still
got a lot to do.
I then went through the
monthy accounts. Not too good, really. Stag weekends and camping
weekends have taken their toll on already stretched finances. But I
keep smiling. I have been told that I can't take it with me when the
reaper comes knocking. My immediate reaction was that if I couldn't
take it with me then I wouldn't go, but I am told that this is not an
option.
And then I mowed the
lawn. I say "mowed"; the grass was over eight inches
long, so I just gave it a cursory haircut.
I then had a look-see at
the geo-map. Every weekend we go for a walk; but we don't just wander
aimlessly; preparation is key. I have an idea for a rather serious
walk this weekend; seventeen miles over several hours. If any of my
loyal readers would like to join in, feel free to drop me a line for
the details.
Before I knew what was
happening the day had gone, and it was time to adjourn to Arden Drive
for the weekly gathering. Apparently whilst I wasn't looking Sir
Token croaked. It's amazing what happens when you aren't paying
attention...
Well that was fun! I loved reading about your adventure with your new phone and KFC. Haha! The part with the things you can't take with you just cracked me up. Stay healthy and fun! :)
