Lat
night I slept better than I had done for some time (not that this
is saying much) and over brekkie I saw that my SkyPlus box had
spotted something that I had not. The third season of "The
Last Ship" started on Sunday evening. I'd not seen that
advertised but my wonderful SkyPlus box had. Being able to
fast-forward through the adverts, a recording of an hour and five
minutes took forty minutes to watch. It might have been better if I
could have remembered what had happened in the last season, but I
thought it was a rather good show anyway.
My
litle dog watched it with me; just lately he's not got up in the
mornings. I liked having him with me today. He looked hopefuly at my
toast, but did't get any. Vet says he gets too many scraps and
treats.
I
then had a little look on-line. Social media is at its best when
people post photos of what they have been up to. I can then sulk when
I see what I've missed.
I
watered my tree and set off to work.
Bearing
in mind yesterday evening's fun with the pond hoses I thought I might
well be needing a couple of jubilee clips so I stopped off at B&Q
before work. The service there is variable; today they were utterly
disinterested. I couldn't find the jubilee clips, asked for help, and
was told "probably aisle seven" by an assistant who
clearly had better things to do with her time.
If
I'd had more time I would have gone elsewhere. As it was I eventually
found what I needed. As I paid the woman on the checkout made a point
of directing me to their website to rate the service I'd received.
Something
of a mistake on her part...
I
got to work, and had a surprisingly busy day. I was glad when home
time arrived. I went home via the pond shop; I'd phoned them during
the day about my discrepant nozzle sizes and the nice man had found
just the adaptor I needed, and threwin some extra hose for free.
My
plan was to go home and crack on with the pond stuff. I got home to
find "er
indoors TM"
, "Daddies
Little Angel TM"
and "Stormageddon
- Bringer of Destruction TM"
were messing about in the garden with the paddling pool. I worked
around them (which
is easier said than done)
and got the new filtration system up and running. It isn't very
pretty - it needs a bit of fidling around and lansdscaping, but that
can wait.
Ordinarily
we would have gone to Folkestone this evening, but Jimbo's guts are
still recovering from his bout of the "two-bob-bits".
So
instead we had an evening in. I'm thinking of having an early
night...
