I woke at 3am and lay
awake, bursting for a tiddle, for half an hour. I finally got up, did
my thing and went back to bed where I lay wide awake. After an hour I
got up and head an early brekkie whilst watching South Park on the
telly. The idea was that after a llittle fiddling about I might be
tired and want to go back to sleep. It was an idea that didn't seem
to work.
I eventually took myself
back to my pit just after 5am, and I surprised myself by nodding off.
I emerged from the land
of nod a few minutes before 9am, and was surprised to see "Furry
Face TM" was still asleep. I waved his
collar and lead and him, and he heaved himself up. We went for out
usual walk round the park; I'd forgotten that being a Saturday the
joggers would be out in force. We got to the park and found it was
skin tight lycra and bouncing boobies as far as the eye can see. It
was a good job I'm a paragon of virtue and not some sad old pervie.
Mind you, as always,
there must have been over a hundred people jogging and not a single
one looked to be enjoying it. Every single one looked to be in
serious pain.
We came home where my dog
got his brekkie, and as he scoffed I popped down to Tesco for some
bits and bobs. At the checkout was a rather burly-loking thug
bellowing into his mobile that he didn't want to do that because he
didn't want to get stabbed again. I was intrigued as to what it was
that he didn't want to do, but I thought better of actually asking
him.
Once
home I had a quick look-see on-line. A few days ago our old friend
science found
some aliens.
This isn't the first time that science has found aliens, and usually
having found them, science then publishes a retraction. But so far
there has been no retraction. Perhaps there really is an enormous
starbase in orbit around KIC
8462852 some one thousand five hundred light-years away. Perhaps
there isn't. But is is quite possible that this will be the only way
we'll ever have any dealings with aliens; just seeing something
inexplicable in the *far*
distance.
I also fiddled a little
with my wherigo-in-progress, and then spent a little while playing
with geo-puzzles. Some I solved, and some I didn't.
Jimbo and Steve arrived,
and we sset off for Hastinigs. We stopped on the way for geo-purposes
but soon enough we were in the Old Town. A few beers were sunk in
the FILO (stranger thinngs have happened), and soon the family
arrived. We cheered the bonfire parade, and then we wandered down to
the sea front where we watched the fireworks.
It was an excellent
display, but on reflection it was clear that a lot less money had
been spent on fireworks this year compared to previous years.
I
took a few photos whilst we were there, and slept most of the way
home. I shall have a headache iin the morning..
