I was sleeping very well
last night until the sound of the rain woke me. It was really loud
against the window. I had been sleeping really well up until this
point. I lay awake for a while, then got up shortly after 6.30am.
Over brekkie I read
something
which struck a chord. I've often suspected that as a lapsed
Christian myself very few Christians bother reading the Bible. It
turns out that this
is actually true. The article I found went on to say that over
three quarters of the American public feel the Ten Commandments
should be posted at all public venues but only just over half of the
same Americans can list only half of these Commandments.
I also read that
Morrisons are setting up halal-only
sweetie counters.
This is the twenty first
century and still the world is hung up on silly superstitions. Is it
surprising that humanity is at each other's throats all the time?
With toast scoffed I
looked out of the window. It was still raining, and the rain was
forecast to be pouring until mid-afternoon. Small dogs don't really
understand weather forecasts, so I coated up and we went for a
shortened walk.
Or that was the plan.
As we left home the rain
stopped, so I took a chance and we walked all the way out to
Singleton Lake and back. The walk passed off pretty much without
event despite "Furry Face TM"
hankering after ducks in the lake.
Once home I had a look at
the astro club accounts; having been in Norfolk during the last
meeting I only got the cash tin back yesterday. We seem to have too
much cash, but I'm sure it will all sort itself. Over a little lunch
I watched this week's installments of "Chewing Gum"
and "The Last Man on Earth" and then took myself off
to bed. I set the alarm on my mobile, and as an experiment I set my
mobile to "Do Not Disturb" mode.
I slept for twenty
minutes after which my dog went absolutely mental at the person who
stuck some junk mail throug the letterbox. After that he was put on
the bottom of the bed and both of us slept well. Mind you it was as
well that I woke before the alarm; "Do Not Disturb"
mode turns off alarms.
Off to the night shift...
