I've had rather bad
neckache these last few days. I slept awkwardly one night last week
and I've been feeling it ever since. The neck was marginally better
this morning; but only marginally.
I spent a little while
over brekkie this morning solving geo-puzzles. There are one or two
in the general vicinity of where we are planning to walk this Sunday
so I thought I'd get prepared. With only the teensiest nudges from
friends I soon had most of the answers. I know "Gordon Tracy"
has alreay solved them, but his dog will have eaten his answers by
the weekend. She always does.
Ironically having solved
the puzzles it doesn't look like they are actually anywhere near
where we are going to be.
I then took "Furry
Face TM" out for a walk. We did our usual
circuit of Bowens Field and Viccie Park. We met Mr Misery Guts again.
He's a funny one. He has some small rat-line animal on a lead which
he never allows loose. He is all smiles to people's faces, but when
he thinks no one is listening he swears at the other dogs. He was
cussing my dog until I came round the corner when he immediately
changed his tune.
We also encountered a dog
which must have had a horse and a bear somewhere in its ancestry. It
was huge, but that didn't stop "Furry Face TM"
trying to get jiggy with it. Even if this dog's "jiggy bits"
were twice as high as he is off of the ground.
I managed to get a photo
of my dog's face whilst we were out. It's not easy. He won't stand
still for photography. He keeps wandering off; and for every one
photo of his face I have a dozen of his bum.
We came home to find a
flier had been dropped through the letter box for the South
Ashford Community Forum. iI've been asked to sign a petition to
Ashford Council asking them to convert the local wards into a
Community Council which will somehow be far better for local
residents and will give us all a greater voice in the management of
our local area. Apparently.
I suppose it's a good
idea. I'd sign the petition. *IF* I knew where to sign. Whoever sent
the fliers out omitted that one vital piece of information. Woops!
Off to work. As always
the radio was playing. The pundits were laughing
at a Saudi religious-type who was spouting rubbish in a lecture
to university students about how the Sun goes round the Earth. His
theory was that if the Earth truly was a spinning globe then
(somehow) planes would not be able to fly. He was backing up
his claims with references to all sorts of theological claptrap.
For all that what he was
saying was wrong and was frankly laughable, is it any surprise that
the world is in such a state when those who are invited to lecture at
university level are actually so stupid? And worryingly a
quarter of all Americans would apparently agree with this chap.
I get to work, did my
bit. At lunchtime I tried saxing despite missing a screw in my
mouthpiece. It went reasonably well.
And then after a rather
hectic day at work I came home and we had a rather good bit of scoff.
And a bottle of plonk. Hic(!)
