"er indoors TM"
got up at 3am to go off on her sponsored walk. She clumped about the
house for half an hour or so before clumping off. The baby next door
then started crying. I gave up trying to get back to sleep shortly
after 6am and over brekkie watched "Are You Being Served"
until the washing machine finished doing its thing with my grubby T
shirts.
I hung the T-shirts on
the line, then took "Furry Face TM"
for a walk. I've mentioned that I'm working on a geo-walk in the
Challock area. Having planned it all out last Sunday we went back to
day to check the measured co-ordinates for the sandwich boxes I shall
stuff under rocks. Some co ordinates were spot-on; some were twenty
yards awry. But we had a good walk; and it wasn't round the park for
a change.
I even took a few
photos whilst we walked.
We came home, hung out
more washing, and then I mowed the lawn. Unless I mow it (at
least) weekly it gets seriously out of control. Gardening is such
an ultimately futile pastime.
I then got into a
conversation with the neighbour we don't especially get on with. For
once he wasn't ranting; he was quite approachable. He was concerned
that the weight of all the stuff he's got growing up his fence is
pulling it over. I've been telling him that for years. He wonders if
I might like to help him bodge the fence back together.
As he spoke he had a
noticeable slur, and his face seemed to have fallen. I wonder if he's
had a stroke; I wouldn't be surprised what with the amount of ranting
he's done over the last few years.
I didn't like to ask.
I scoffed a sandwich for
lunch, updated my squafty co ordinates then set about the monthly
accounts. Could be better, could be worse. Not as good as they were
four years ago; certainly better than they were two years ago.
I spent the afternoon
fast asleep in bed. It's odd how yoou get into a routine like that.
When I know I'm going to sleep in the afternoon (prior to night
shift) the sort of tiredness I usualy get at 11pm comes on at
1pm. I slept for four hours, scoffed a bit of tea, got teh washing in
from the line and now I'm off to work.
The word from Brighton is
that "er indoors TM" is well past
the half-way stage. It's not too late to sponsor her. Click
