Yesterday
was the hottest day of the year and the hottest September day for over a
hundred years. Consequently it was a rather hot night; I didn’t sleep as well
as I might have done.
Over
brekkie I watched Monday’s episode of “Dark
Matter”; now the show is coming to the end of the season it is getting
rather good. I then checked out the Internet to see what had happened
overnight. Not a lot, it would seem.
As I drove to work the pundits on the radio
were saying how the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee has decided to
blame David Cameron for the terrible state of affairs in Libya. Following a
military intervention of a few years ago things have gone seriously tits-up in
Libya, and David Cameron now seems to be a rather good scapegoat. Isn’t it a
sign of our times that people are more interested in assigning blame than
solving problems.
And so to work. Today was something of an
anniversary. It is thirty-five years to the day since I first started working
for the NHS. During that time I’ve worked in a variety of positions in seven
different hospitals. I’ve had good times and bad. (And some which even now I gloss over…) I’ve
seen some changes, some for the better, some not so. I used to quite enjoy it,
and after thirty-five years I can only say that it is not a bad job. There are
a *lot* worse things I could be
doing.
But I can’t help but wonder “what if”.
I did my bit, and came home. Once home I took
my little dog round the park. I took a photo as we walked, and when I went to
post it to Facebook (as I do) my phone
didn’t choose Viccie Park as the default location. Instead it chose “Pure Pleasure Zone”. It does that a lot.
I did a little looking, and it turns out that “Pure Pleasure Zone” is a random house along Jemmett Road. It is
listed on Google as a “gift shop”.
However it is lacking in any customer reviews. I can’t help but wonder what “gifts” it supplies.
I did
notice "Furry Face TM" seemed rather subdued as we
walked. I do hope he’s not sickening for anything again.
Bake-off’s
on in a minute….
