I slept like a log last
night; finally being woken by my alarm. I woke surprised to find
"Furry Face TM" wasn't crashed out
next to me as he usually is; I found him in his basket looking rather
sheepish. I couldn't work out if he was embarrassed about his sulk of
last night, or embarrassed about the recent damp fresh dog-tiddle
stain on the carpet.
Rather than watching
telly this morning I spent some time clearing up dog tiddle instead.
Off to work; as I drove
the radio spewed its mixed bag of gems and drivel. Our old friend
science has discovered the oldest star known
to have planets. Great show was made of the fact that this has
tremendous implications, but no show at all was made of what these
implications might be.
Some vacuous old windbag
was wittering on "Thought for the Day" about how the
original version of the Lord's Prayer had relevence to the Greek
financial crisis. And researchers showed that pregnant members of
the lower orders are more likely to
give up smoking if they are paid to do so. Personally I can't see
how anyone can afford to smoke these days - ten fags a day costs more
than one hundred quid each month.
I got to work, I did my
bit. I went out to practice my sax at lunch time. or that is I went
out to do so, but didn't. It was too cold, so I sat in my car and
surfed the net on my phone instead.
I also treated myself to
a Cadbury's creme egg. There has been a lot
of fuss recently about how the creme egg recipe has changed. It
didn't taste any different to me.
With my bit done I came
home. I was planning to go visit my grand-bub. I had an offer to go
out to dinner with father-in-law as well. I did neither. Instead I
spent the evening at home; a few rough nights recently had taken
their toll. I just wanted a bit of peace and quiet.
I didn't get it. My dog
sat on the sofa with me and spent the evening whinging for me to play
tug 'o war and fetch. For most dogs that would be two seperate games;
not for my dog...
I spent a little while on
my new Wheri-project. I've programmed "the thing".
Those of a geocaching persuasion will be able to have a go with "the
thing" in a week or so. I hope.
