Finding
myself wide awake I got up and had my morning ablutions. I stood on the scales
and saw I'd put on another pound since last week. Time to start counting those
calories, maybe?
Over brekkie
(granola) I watched another episode of "Prison Break"
which is fast becoming a re-make of "The A-Team". It is an
entertaining enough show if you don't think about it that much, and if you
overlook the fact that people who are now best friends were shooting each other
only a few episodes ago.
On Saturday I
mentioned that I'd solved a geo-puzzle that no one else had. This morning I saw
the First to Find was still up for grabs. So, finding myself awake far too
early, I set off to chase it. It might make for a little adventure on what
would be an otherwise dull day. I soon found myself within striking distance of
where I was supposed to be, but it was still rather early and not quite fully
light. So, rather than parking in a sensible place and walking across footpaths
and fields, I drove up a private drive, and soon had the elusive prize in my
hand. First to Find. Happy dance indeed.
I quickly
drove off in the general direction of work before anyone saw me, and I had
something of a rather problematical journey. What with road closures and road
works, I travelled quite a bit further than I might otherwise have done. As I
drove the pundits on the radio were interviewing all sorts of people in the
run-up to tomorrow's big Brexit debacle. Ex-minister Esther McVey was wheeled
on and she ignored everything that was asked of her. Instead she just parroted
a pre-written speech about how wonderful she was. And in the interests of political
impartiality they brought on the Labour party's John McDonald who tried to
persuade the public that Jeremy Corbyn isn't quite the disaster that he is
making us all believe that he is.
I eventually
got to work, and did my bit. During a break in the proceedings I managed to
book my car in for an MOT. It isn't due until March; that's a month later than
I was expecting. That's something of a result.
It was
somewhat ironic that having been wide awake in the early hours this morning I
fell asleep for most of my lunch break, but such is life.
Once home I got
the dogs onto leads and as we walked out we met "er indoors TM" who was just
parking her car. Together we all wandered the roads for a while.
Once home "er
indoors TM"
boiled up a rather good bit of dinner and went out. I watched a little telly,
then asked Facebook about the Lego job lot that arrived at the weekend. Having had
a rummage through it, about a quarter of what I got doesn’t look quite right.
It turns out they are some cheap knock-off version. Whilst I’m happy with what
I got, I don’t want the cheapo imitation bricks. I’ll ding those… once I’ve
solved some more geo-puzzles.
I’m about half way through looking at
those one hundred puzzles that went live last week and so far I seem to be
solving about one in every five. It seems somewhat ironic that one of the few I
solved is one that demonstrably has everyone else foxed. I wonder if I might swap
answers…
