For some inexplicable
reason I was again wide awake at silly o'clock, and was up having
brekkie and watching "Dad's Army" before 6am. My dog
joined my half way through the program, but after a few minutes took
himself back to his bed.
I then had a look
on-line. Over the last few weeks I've been looking to complete my geo
D-T grid. One of the D-T combinations I need is D4.5-T4.5. There
aren't many of those. The one I
had my eye on seems to have gone walkabout, but overnight the
chap who owns it saw that I was keen and has asked me to replace it
for him. I've very happy to help out, especially as replacing it
means I get a guaranteed find. Some say that's a bit cheeky of me. I
don't. I shall do that next Thursday. If anyone would like to join me

I scraped the ice from my
car and set off to work. As I drove the pundits on the radio were
interviewing the Minister of State for Employment. Ms Pritti Patel
was taking a very anti-European Union stance and was going on at
great length about how she is very much against the EU because of all
the rules, regulations and red tape that they force on to the British
against our will. However when asked to give specific examples of
these rules, regulations and red tape she was utterly unable to give
a single example. Eventually she came up with the European Working
Time Directive as being a good example of a European idea forced onto
an unwilling British population, but was then rather embarrassed to
have to admit that several polls have shown that the average Brit
quite likes the idea of the European Working Time Directive since it
stops us having to work every hour God sends and gives us holidays
too.
I'm finding it more and
more difficult to find any valid reasons for leaving the EU. It
speaks volumes that a Conservative Prime Minister and the leader of
the Trade Unions Council have issued
a joint statement supporting continued EU membership.
I'm fast coming to the
conclusion that the whole anti-EU thing is just a scam stirred up by
Boris Johnson. If he can play on the inherent xenophobia that exists
in far too many people then David Cameron will lose face in a
humiliating referendum defeat and Boris will be ideally placed to
become the next Prime Minister.
I got to work, did that
which I coouldn't avoid, and came home again. Once home I walked
"Furry Face TM" round the park. He
played nicely with lots of other dogs. Not a single scrap.
We had a rather good bit
of dinner - a roast dinner. Don't get those very often these days...
