I slept reasonably well.
Most people wouldn't be pleased with only six hours sleep; for me
that's loads. CPAP machines are wonderful things for blasting air
through blocked sinuses. Of course I wouldn't need a CPAP machine
were my nose re-bored. I'm getting a little hacked off with the whole
"blocked nose" thing. Since I first went to my GP
about it last November I've only actually got anything from the
health service by constantly phoning them and chasing them and
contacting the complaints department.
At the last time I met
with the specilaist he promised I would have surgery withing two
months, and it's now been three weeks since I saw him. I *really*
don't want to make another formal complaint, but that seems to be the
only way to get any results.
Off to work. As I drove
the pundits on the radio were lambasting the Prime Minister. He's
publically attacked the French for defying the international accords
by selling warships to Russia. He was today somewhat embarrassed to
find his own government was allowing over
a hundred arms deals to be going on between the UK annd Russia. I
don't suppose for one moment that he was trying to cover anything up
when he said he was unaware of what was going an and that all these
deals will be investigated. But I am reminded of the old addage that
people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. A Prime Minister is in
many ways living in the biggest glass house of them all.
Apart from rescuing an
errant sparrow from the workplace (which was then subsequently
eaten by a cat - alledgedly!) my day was much the same as ever.
And with my bit done I came home and walked "Furry Face TM"
round the park. Apart from interrupting a couple of young Poles who
were demonstrating their passion for each other al-fresco our
walk was relatively uneventful. We came home, and whilst I was hosing
the muck out of the fish pond filter a certain Patagonian Tripe-Hound
fell in said fish pond.
The fish pond filter's
doing quite well considering the plan was to have the thing replaced
some three years ago.
I then spent a little
while working on a survey for the members of the astro club;
attendance is down. I wonder why. And then after a rather good bit of
tea I had a look at the English Heritage web site. We're planning a
little holiday in September; I'm thinking of something of a road
trip. I need to plan a route...
