Again I slept well;
waking only minutes before the alarm. I got up and wasted quite a bit
of time trying to find a container in which I could transport my
parsnip dalek to work.
Over brekkie I watched
the most recent episode of "South Park"; much as I
giggled I distinctly got the impression that unless one was seriously
up to date with current American politics much of the show would go
over your head. Mind you, with that in mind I was grateful that it
doesn't seem to be just my small part of the work that is struggling
with the "politically correct" crackpot brigade.
As I drove to work (as
always) I listened to the news. The Japanese have decided to defy
world opinion and carry on hunting
whales in the Antarctic. Personally I'm of the opinion that why
do we have a navy if not to stop this sort of thing. The navies of
the civilised world should go and reason with the whalers, and if
they don't turn around, torpedo them. Personally I wouldn't stop to
pick up survivors, but I can be somewhat harsh.
I was also somewhat
peeved to read the story of a pensioner who successfully sued Apple
for inadvertanetly wiping all his personal data when he took his
phone for repair.
Has this fool never heard
of the term "backup"?
I got to work for the
early shift. It wasn't long before everyone was in. Quite a few
people had brought in their contributions for the vegetable nativity,
and there is no denying that my parsnip dalek looked quite pathetic
in comparison to other people's efforts. Mind you this vegetable
nativity competition is a team effort; I'm confident of our victory.
And so home. As I walked
"Furry Face TM" we saw "nasty
next door" parking their car. She made a point of completely
blanking me. She's done that consistently for the last ten years. It
is getting rather wearing.
After our walk I opened
the first window of my lego
advent calendar. And then spent a little while trying to work out
how to start this year's story. Every year I do my advent calendar
ramblings. And every year I *could* start preparing when I get
the thing in August. I don't though. I wait until when I am supposed
to open it.
I wonder where this
year's story will take us. Personally I'm hoping for a return of
RU12, Arbuthnot Fink and the felonius miscreant. (Who?)
Being Tuesday the clans
gathered and we watched last Saturday's episode of Doctor Who. It was
better on the second viewing..
