I would have had a
decent night’s sleep had the alarm of the car outside not been going off with
annoying regularity all night long. I got up shortly after 7.30am to find a
very wet morning outside. I got up, I stretched, inadvertently punched the
light fitting, and so drove round to B&Q to get some new light bulbs.
The staff in
B&Q didn’t actually say “get knotted baldy”, but they might as well
have done. The next time I need light bulbs (or absolutely anything at all)
I shall go somewhere else.
I came home, installed
light bulbs, and I then pootled about on the Internet for an hour or so until
the worst of the rain passed. By then “Furry Face TM “ was going
stir-crazy so I took him round the block. We popped into the pet shop whilst
passing; I had thought he’d got out of the habit of sitting in the vets area.
He certainly knew where the dog treats were kept.
Home again, I put
the finishing touches to my latest Wheri-project, took it for a little test and
found three problems with it. Correcting those problems took minutes, and I
then did the Wheri-admin for the thing. Over lunch I set to some geo-puzzles;
I’ve the chance of going for a little geo-stroll on my next rostered day off…
if only I solve sixty puzzles first. That kept me constructively out of
mischief till after 4pm.
As I puzzled I saw
through Facebook that the astro-committee were scoffing themselves silly at the
Brookfield café. I knew that there was an outreach event this evening. I’d
cried off from that; not wanting to get a cold running nose (for obvious
reasons) but no one had told me that a mid-day scoff was on the cards. I
sulked for a while before embarking on yet another wheri-project that kept me
busy for much of the rest of the afternoon and evening.
I did pause for a
while; I popped to the Hong Kong Kitchen to get a special curry and chips which
I devoured whilst watching “Age
of Tomorrow” which I’d recorded on the SkyPlus box a day or so ago. I
turned it off half way through; it was crap.
I’ve found a lot
of films like that recently…
