I
was awake at silly o'clock (as I so often am) and with little
else on the agenda I thought I'd watch a little telly. I'd recorded
"Locked
Up"; a Spanish show about a rather foxy prisoner who is
having a tough time behind bars. Usually I'm not keen about watching
shows with subtitles, but in this case I've made an exception. There
was more than enough rampant jubbly-waving to make the subtitles
irrelevant. I might even watch the second episode. I think it airs on
Tuesday.
As
I put my shirt on I watched my dog who was pretending to sleep. His
head was down and every time I looked at him he closed his eyes to
feign sleep. However a frantically wagging tail gave him away.
With
the telly program finished I set off to work. As I droveI listened to
the news on the radio. Apparently over two hundred assorted
celebrities (including Steve Coogan, Sir Patrick Stewart and Brian
Blessed) have
signed a letter saying how they all feel that Britain would be
better off remaining in the EU.
Information
on exactly to whom this letter is addressed is rather vague, and the
letter has been dismissed by the leave-campaign because they don't
like it very much. The leave campaign seem to be doing this an awful
lot at the moment.
There
was also talk of who will take on the
role of James Bond now that Daniel Craig is (apparently)
standing down
There
are those who feel that the time is right for a woman to appear in
such a role. I thought this was something of a rather old idea; after
all Modesty
Blaise is older than I am (did you know that Sparks once
recorded a theme song for a Modesty Blaise series that never aired)
and April
Dancer is even older.
I
got to work for the early shift. With the vagaries of my shifts today
was day five of a five-day week. I realise most people do five-day
weeks all the time. I used to for many years but now I'm finding them
very hard work.
Working
longer days (but less of them) suits me far more.
After
work I set off to McDonalds where I met "er indoors TM",
Jimbo and Stevey. Whilst in the queue a random woman greeted me with
a hearty "Hello Dave". I smiled sweetly and made
some small talk; I had no idea who she was...
"er
indoors TM" then went home to walk "Furry
Face TM" and we went on to astro club.
Tonight's meeting wasn't too bad at all.
Being
secretary is somewhat easier on the club night than being treasurer
was. Now to chase up a speaker for July and to sort out name badges
for the committee...
