My dog spent the night on my bed last
night. On the one hand I was glad he felt up to coming upstairs, on the other
hand it gave me a restless night. Over brekkie I watched another episode of “You Rang M’Lord”, and as it finished I
found the telly was playing the first episode of “Brideshead Revisited”. This is a series I’ve seen so many times
that I know what is going to happen for the entire series, but still I love it.
As Sebastian threw up into Charles’s
window I had a look-see on-line. There was absolutely nothing of note on
Facebook (possibly because I’ve walked
away from some of the more contentious sites on there). Linkedin had
emailed me to suggest I might like to congratulate Ledino Mila on her
three-year work anniversary. I decided not to as I have no idea who Ledina Milo
is. And match dot com had emailed me to offer a three-day free trial. I decided
against it.
As I drove to work the radio wittered on
in the background. There was talk of calls for an early general election. This could be a
double-edged sword. On the one hand the Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn would
effectively be wiped out. On the other hand the Scottish Nationalists would
probably be given carte blanche to do as they please north of the border.
There was also mention of the return of the original
cybermen
in the upcoming series of Doctor Who. Personally I think this is a bad move;
Steven Moffat (the bloke who makes the
show) described the original cybermen as looking like “boys with jumpers pulled over their heads”.
And the pundits wheeled on the shadow education
spokesperson
Angela Rayner who flatly refused to answer every single question that was put
to her. I can’t understand the Labour party’s aversion to grammar schools.
Surely it makes sense to stretch the brighter children rather than to have them
plodding along at the pace of the thickest child in the class? Or perhaps it is
just part of the Labour party’s (rather
obvious) ploy to make themselves unelectable at every turn.
With work done I came home and we walked
the dogs. They like their evening walks. So do I, but I prefer it when we have
the lighter evenings so we can go to the park.
We had a quick bit of scoff, then made
our way round to Arden Drive for the Tuesday gathering. It was good to catch
up, we watched an episode of Gotham… all good stuff.
"My
Boy TM" wants to know if we fancy a week’s holiday in Greece.
He’s not thought this through – he’s the dog-sitter. Does anyone fancy having "Furry
Face TM" for a week ?
