I woke in something of a
panic following a rather vivid dream in which I'd foolishly agreed to
go on an epic pub crawl round Cornwall (all of it) knowing
full well that I needed to leave home before 7am this morning to get
to work. In my nightmare I was faced with an array of pump clips and
no one sober enough to do an eight hour drive in fifteen minutes.
It was with something of
a sense of releif that I woke to find I still had an hour before I
needed to leave home.
Over brekkie I watched
"Toddlers and Tiaras" whilst feeding toast to a
small dog. I know he shouldn't really have toast, but he seems to
like it. And I'm not a fan of this raspberry jam wheras he seems to
like it.
It was a bright morning
as I drove to work; the hour's difference in moving the clocks back
made a very noticeable difference. As I drove the pundits on the
radio were wittering on about the importance of lichen to Britains
woodlands. I'm sure it is important stuff but I couldn't work up the
degree of enthusiasm about the stuff that the people on the radio
did.
Being Sunday they then
wheeled on the obligatory vicar. I say "vicar" -
this one was a priest. (Apparently there is a difference).
Said clergyman was pontificating on the edicts from the latest Synod
of the Catholic church from which there seems to be a more
relaxed attitude to divorce and homosexuality. Personally I see that
as a good thing, but (as always) these religious types seem to
apply a random morality with no regard to what their bibles actually
say. I wonder if some of them have actually read their bible? I have.
There was then quite a
lot of talk about misprints
in the bible sparked by the sale of the 1631 "sinners
bible" in which a misprint has the Seventh Commandment
reading "Thou shalt commit adultery"
It was something of a
shame that the radio wasted so munch time on religious twaddle. They
didn't mention something of real importance; namely the global
shortage of Lego.
Now *that* is important.
I then had a rather long
and busy shift at work...
