After a surprisingly busy
night shift I listened to the radio as I drove home. Did you know
that our old friend science has revised the estimate of the number
of trees on the planet. The best guess is that here is three
trillion trees on Earth. that's seven times as many as were in the
last guess at the number.
There are those who feel
the figure is a matter of indifference. It is impossible to check the
accuracy of that number, but it occurs to me that someone has been
paid good money to come up with it.
Perhaps that money might
be better
spent on the police. Apparently police in Lewisham have taken to
using buses as they've not got enough cars, and police in the West
Midlands take their time to get to emergencies as they've had to buy
cheaper police cars with no sirens.
The criminal element must
love hearing this in the news....
Once home I took "Furry
Face TM" for a walk. Bearing in mind that
this was the sort of time that OrangeHead and her posse were likely
to be lording it round the park we went out to Frogs Island instead.
Apart from Fudge feeling the need to bark at absolutely everyone he
saw along the way, the walk passed off relatively uneventfully.
We stopped off at the
vets as we walked. I've noticed his collar seems looser; I was
wondering if the diet was working. Whilst he's not put on any weight
he doesn't seem to have lost any.
I had all sorts of things
planned to do after our walk; instead I went to bed and slept until
mid-afternoon. Once awake I spent an hour doing geo-admin on the
potential geo-walk I started preparing yesterday. That only took an
hour; let's see if it gets the thumbs-up.
As I worked "My
Boy TM" came home "quietly";
his sister had sent him here with a load of stuff to put into
storage. I say "storage"; her idea of storage is my
idea of a spare bedroom.
I'm now off to work a
little earlier than planned; last week I released a Wherigo onto the
denizens of Canterbury. Apparently it don't work on iPhones so I've
offered to let a nice lady have a go on my tablet.
I hope she doesn't
bite...
