I woke in the small hours having had
only four hours sleep and couldn't get back to sleep. I eventually gave up
trying and got up about an hour or so before the alarm was due to go off.
Both dogs seemed worn out when I came
downstairs; but then it was 5am. We had a successful tiddle-run to the garden,
then over brekkie I watched an episode of "The Young Pope" with a dog asleep on either side of me. A good
episode; much more pious and much less nudity.
I carried both dogs upstairs, settled them on a
sleeping "er indoors TM" and set off to work.
As I drove the pundits on the radio were
talking about the terms of any Brexit agreement. It is looking more and more
likely that whatever agreement is reached will have the UK beholden to European
law. In fact beholden to the very same laws that we intended to abolish by
voting "out" in the first
place. So having left the EU we are stuck with those laws that we didn't want,
and now have absolutely no say whatsoever in amending them (where once we did).
Have I missed something here?
There was also talk of the island of St
Helena. An airport has been
built there
at considerable expense to the UK taxpayer, and now that it has been built it
turns out that the airport can't be used because it wasn't built with any
consideration for the prevailing winds.
I found this particularly interesting as
it was only a year or so ago (6 March
2015) that I was seriously considering taking a sabbatical there. I'm glad
I didn't now.
I stopped off in Morrrisons on my way to
work and was rather disappointed by the complete lack of any sort of Christmas
ales. I shall have to shop elsewhere. I have an appointment at the Whitstable
Brewery tomorrow morning.
I came home via Fat Fish Tackle in
Chartham where I got some pike lures. I’m told the canal is fishing well at the
moment. Here’s hoping.
And so home. I put a load of shirts in to wash
whilst "er indoors TM" fought with "Furry
Shark TM". I believe the plan was to do some hoovering but
the puppy wasn’t overly keen in the idea. She also tried to eat the brush when
sweeping was tried. And with "er indoors TM" off on
a shopping mission I got the shirts ironed whilst the dogs ran riot…
I’m really tired – hope I get some sleep
tonight…
