My elbow was hurting
when I woke this morning. It does that more and more these days. After I’d
watched this morning’s instalment of “BattleStar
Galactica” I had a look-see on-line. Several friends were posting to
Facebook from the week-long kite festival at Berck-sur-mer in France. In years
gone by a day trip to Berck was one of the annual fixtures. It is a long way to
go, but I quite miss it. Could we go this weekend? Possibly. Will we… I doubt
it, but it would be fun.
Other people were using
the Internet to go out of their way to pick fights with people they’ve never
met about who loves their favourite football club the most. There seemed to be
no pleasure in that one. I’d rather fly a kite than argue football.
With no emails of note
I set off to work.
As I drove to work the
radio spewed its usual drivel. Apparently the public are being asked to help
English Heritage in monitoring the spread of the clothes
moth.
It turns out that the clothes moth is a cheeky little lepidopteran which scoffs
the kind of stuff that English Heritage thrive on. The bigwigs at English
Heritage have a theory that moth numbers are on the increase what with global
warming and farmers not dowsing huge swathes of the country with DDT and other
dangerous pesticides any more. The public are being asked to collect free moth
traps and monitor moths across the country.
It might make an
interesting pastime for the perennially bored.
Regular readers of this
drivel may recall how (a couple of years
ago) I took up the saxophone. Apparently the huge saxophone shop in
Crowborough has had a break-in. Thirty saxophones
worth over seventy thousand pounds have been stolen. It would seem this was a
planned robbery; but what on Earth are the thieves going to do with the
saxophones? They are something of a specialist item. Or is there a black market
for saxophones?
I
got to work early (again) and had a
rather busy day, and was again late getting out. I came home to an empty house;
"er indoors TM" had taken the dogs for their
evening constitutional. So whilst they went round the park I struggled with a
geo-puzzle. If any of my loyal readers can make anything out of the picture
above….
(Today was rather dull as well)
