I found myself wide awake
in the night so got up and spent half an hour watching the 4am "South
Park" on the Comedy Central channel. Getting up and watching
telly seemed to work; I went back to bed and slept through til
8.30am.
Sid spent the night on
the bedroom floor for the second night, and for the second night
there were no turds. Perhaps it is an attention-seeking thing?
Over brekkie I struggled
with a geo-puzzle. I was pretty sure I had the right idea in
that my calculations put the thing in the UK. However I was pretty
sure it should be somewhere in the general area of the Kent-Sussex
border but I calculated it to be miles away from there. So I utilised
a "non-standard" way of solving the puzzzle; I
asked for help.
I also read an article
which made me sigh. A space rock thingy flew past the Earth last
night. This was presented as news. It really does happen all the
time. Go outdoors on any clear dark night and look up. after a few
minutes you will probably see a shooting star. You will see several
in an hour. After a while they will seem commonplace to you. These
are all from space rocks burning up in the atmosphere. These aren't
news. But it amazes me that the general public really do see them as
news.
We put the leads on the
dogs and took them for a walk. Last night I collected "er
indoors TM" from the Spearpoint and we
left her car there. Today we walked back to collect it. Yesterday's
dog walk was cut short because of the terrible weather; it was
glorious today. The weather was sunny and mild. Sid rolled in fox
poo; Fudge tried to hump him. I even took
a few photos as we walked.
It took an hour and a
half to get to the Spearpoint; getting home was hard work. The roads
were *really* busy. Everyone seemed to be off for the
Christmas break. We got home just as the delivery chap was arriving
with a consignment of candles; that was well-timed.
Pausing only briefly to
hose the fox poo off of Sid we had a spot of cheese on toast for
lunch. I had an email - a message about that troublesome geo-puzzle
from the chap who'd set the puzzle. I was thinking along the right
lines but hadn't allowed for zeros. i have now, and in the New Year I
shall go find this one.
Feeling rather smug I
took myself off to bed for the afternoon. After two hours I was wide
awake. If only we could sleep for extended periods at times when it
was convenient to do so...
I'm off to the night
shift now....
