Yesterday we walked for
nineteen miles. By the time we'd got home, washed fox poo off of the
dog, bodged the car window shut and phoned the insurance people (to
be told that windows wasn't their problem) it was gone midnight
before I got to bed. The CPAP machine did its best, but by 5am my
nose was completely bunged up and I was wide awake.
"Furry Face TM"
came downstairs with me; he'd sneaked upstairs during the night.
Being a small dog I don't really notice him at the foot of the bed.
He didn't want any toast today; he just jumped onto the sofa and went
to sleep.
The drive to work was
noisy this morning with the cling film (which was supposed to
double up as the window) blowing in the wind. Consequently I
couldn't hear a thing on the radio; which was probably for the best.
I stopped off at
Morrisons for some fruit; they were playing Christmas tunes over
their loudspeakers. What was that all about? As always in Morrisons I
used the self-service checkout. For the first time in nearly three
years the machine worked with no problems and I didn't have to ask
the nice lady for help.
And so to work; when I
found a spare five minutes I telephoned the garage. They said to drop
the car with them this evening and they would have a look when they
could; but it probably wouldn't be until Thursday.
So I then spent a few
minutes checking train times for this week. The trains seem to run a
reasonable service; far better than the buses. It's only a shame that
the train station is so far from where I work. Google Maps tells me
that the distance is a mile and a half, and that it will take me
thirty five minutes to walk that distance. I did nineteen miles
yesterday; I can do a mile and a half tomorrow morning.
I slipped out of work a
few minutes early and came home. I collected "Furry Face TM"
and took him and the car to the garage. I left the car there with the
nice man, and we came home via Frog's Island. It seemed daft for me
to take the car straight to the garage, walk home for over a mile
and then be faced with a small dog who wanted a walk.
With "er indoors
TM" off bowling I watched the latest
episode of "The Forsyte Saga". If you like period
dramas it isn't too bad at all.
Bearing in mind I need to
be on the 6.30am train tomorrow I should really get an early night...
