Yesterday I mentioned a discussion I heard on
the radio. I said "...it was amazing
how the people on the radio could discuss the issues in depth without resorting
to insulting anyone who had a different opinion to their own. If only more
people could do that."
In the small hours this morning as I worked the
radio was playing the "debate"
between the two US Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. One
of them spent the entire time slagging off the other; the other spent the
entire time calling the first a liar. Petulant, immature name-calling far
beneath the dignity of anyone aspiring to be the President of the USA. I'm glad I don't have to choose between them.
Again I was very pleased to see the early shift
as they turned up at 8am. As I drove home I was saw that the Chartham
Scarecrows had returned. There was a notice by them; I really should have
stopped and read it.
I drove
to the car fix-it shop where "er indoors TM" was
waiting for me. She was having her car serviced. On the one had skipping car
services is a false economy; on the other it costs money I don’t really have.
But what is money for not to squander foolishly.
I drove
her to work then came home where "Daddy’s Little Angel TM",
"Stormageddon - Bringer of Destruction TM" and "Furry
Face TM" were all waiting for me.
We went
for a little walk; into town to the e-fags shop, then home via the North park.
Other than "Furry Face TM" humping Sid (to the amusement of passers-by) the walk
was relatively uneventful.
After
the walk I took myself off to bed for a while. I had thought about going
walking with friends today (I’d had an
invitation) but sleep seemed a more sensible option.
I didn’t
sleep for more than a few hours; when I woke I had the horrible feeling of not
knowing where I was, what the time was, or even what day of the week it was. I
get that after night shifts; it soon passes.
Over a
rather late brekkie (3pm) I watched
the last episode of the current series of “The Last Ship”. I like the show; however it is a bit “A-Team” in that for all the bullets fly,
our heroes always emerge unscathed.
Like
many shows it clearly seems to have been kept going far longer than the writers
had imagined. Where the first season had a plot, it is now clearly being made
up as the writers go along.
Wikipedia
says that two more series have been commissioned. I’m looking forward to them.
"er indoors TM" then sent a message.
Good news and bad news. One the one hand she’s scrounged a lift to the garage
to get her car back (so I didn’t have to
go fetch her). On the other hand her car’s steering was knacked to the tune
of one hundred quid more than she was expecting. So having squandered money she
came home and boiled up a rather good bit of scran and then she went bowling.
With my dog fast asleep on my lap I watched
last night’s episode of “Poldark”
then had a look at some geo-puzzles. They always keep the mind off sin… Perhaps
Ross Poldark might benefit from doing some.
