Yesterday evening "Furry
Face TM" wouldn't settle; he kept
wandering about and whimpering. It turns out that the cheeky pup had
found a left over Easter Egg. I've heard that dogs shouldn't have
chocolate; he'd given himself a belly ache.
Mind you he was well
enough to scrounge the crusts from my brekkie toast this morning. As
we sat together on the sofa I watched "Derek" in
which the residents of the care home were getting jiggy with each
other, and then in "Ade at Sea" Adrian Edmonson
spent a day helping in the construction of an offshore wind farm near
Liverpool.
I drove to work through a
rather sunny morning; something of a contrast to yesterday's rain. As
always I listened to the radio. There was precious little of note
today. Mind you, yesterday I whinged about the scandal of Halal meat
being foisted onto an unsuspecting public. Perhaps more worrying is
the fact that most people I've encountered today have no idea what
Halal meat is all about. There's far more to it than just saying a
prayer over the animal. The method of slaughtering animals involves
of a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife on the throat, cutting
the jugular veins and carotid arteries of both sides but leaving the
spinal cord intact. If done correctly the animal dies instantly. If
botched then the animal suffers whilst it bleeds to death. Opinion
varies on how often the process is done correctly.

seem to know about this?
With my bit done I came
home and walked "Furry Face TM"
round the park. "er indoors TM"
was off out on a hen night. I had the option to go out for Chinese,
but I was feeling a little under the weather so I stayed home and
once I'd ironed seven shirts I watched two more episodes of "Game
of Thrones".
The show has promise; but
it would benefit from exchanging a few of the tits for a bit more
plot...
