As I drove home from work the
pundits on the radio were interviewing the Foreign Secretary. He was an odious
little oik when Health Secretary, and with the Prime Minister’s credibility
fast going down the toilet he clearly has his sights set on the top job. He was
talking about what he saw as the very real possibility of the entire Brexit
shebang being abandoned. Was this a serious political position, or just an
attempt to undermine Mrs. May?
On Monday I mentioned I needed
to borrow a jig-saw. Matt had one, and so I picked him up (and his tool!).
We came home where the dogs set about him, and then we set about the wooden boards
I’d bought on Monday. We carved it about, and put on some reinforcing struts,
then got the green felt in place. I was grateful for Matt’s help. Not a
difficult job, but so much easier with a second pair of hands.
I drove Matt home, then took a
rather circuitous route home via Shadoxhurst. I found a geocache there not far
from the village sign. I’ve now found all of them within four miles of home,
and there’s only five that I haven’t found within five miles. I took a selfie
and posted it to the local geocaching page.
Once home I took the dogs round
the park. Today’s walk was somewhat problematical. It probably didn’t help that
we started off badly by being accosted by a pair of drunks in Bowen’s Field. I
say “drunks”; from the smell I think he was off his trolley on an unholy
combination of toilet duck and brasso, and she was relatively sober but having
a rather nasty fight with the voices in her head. Both wanted to fuss the dogs;
no dog wanted anything to do with them. That caused offence.
Being two hours later with our
walk than usual, we met several dogs we don’t usually meet. Pogo played nicely
with most of them, only getting into one fight. We did have a dodgy five
minutes when we lost Fudge, but on back-tracking we found him doing his own
thing bimbling in a hedge.
With walk done I had a quick
scrub, then went to bed for an hour or so. Over a rather late brekkie I watched
an episode of “Prison Break”, then spent a very frustrating hour trying
to solve geo-puzzles. I walked away from it before I got angry and set up the
Lego train track on the board we’d organised this morning. Before I go much
further with this project I will need some green base plates. And the motor of
the train is somewhat temperamental. Perhaps I might have a look on eBay for
another motor?
"er indoors TM" boiled up fish
and chips, and we scoffed it whilst watching the first episode of the new
season of “The Orville”. The writers seem
to have toned down the frankly ridiculous aspects of the show and it was rather
good. Let’s hope this continues…
