I got up in
the night and pulled the duvet two feet in my direction; it’s not "er
indoors TM"
that hogs it, fidgeting dogs drag the thing about. However pulling the thing
back disturbed Fudge, who then spent the remainder of the night grumbling about
every tiniest little disturbance.
I managed to
stay in my pit until eight o’clock when I could take his whinging no more. I
got up and sparked up my lap-top. As I mooched in cyber-space so Fudge came downstairs
and lay on the sofa next to me. He was soon snoring. He sleeps so soundly on
the sofa; nothing bothers him there. If only he slept so soundly upstairs.
I spent a
little while fighting with the geo-puzzles that went live last week with
varying success. I strained my brain until "er indoors TM" was ready, and
we took the dogs round the park for a walk. What with no late shifts or night
shifts this week and the dark nights I’d not been round the park for what
seemed like ages. To be honest it hadn’t changed much, and apart from a minor
fracas in the co-op field the walk passed off pretty much without incident.
We came home, settled the hounds, and
drove down to De Bradlei Wharf in Dover. "er indoors TM"
had got some boots reserved in the shop where Tracy works. We got the boots, some
amazing gadget for taking boots off with, polish brushes, shoe horns, and
chatted for a bit before moving on.
We had a good mooch about; De Bradlei
Wharf is an odd place. I thought it was a shopping centre… it is actually more
like one enormous shop with various departments not entirely unlike the old
department stores of years gone by (like
“Grace Brothers”).
Feeling
rather peckish we popped into Cullin’s yard where we had a rather good dinner
which was washed down with a pint of one of the best stouts I’ve ever had. A
stout which they brewed themselves.
We came home
via the carpet shop. The carpet in the hallway and up the stairs is looking a
tad threadbare. It was old when we moved into the house, and we’ve been here
twenty-eight years. The nice man is coming to measure up in a few days’ time.
Once home we
had a cuppa, and I looked at the Lego set I’d bought over Christmas and the one
"er indoors TM" got me for Christmas. With a little
rummaging in my spares box I managed
to get two complete houses together.
I need to get
to the Lego shop for some base plates for the next stage of the project.
As "er
indoors TM"
pootled and tided I carried on battling with geo-puzzles. After some incredibly serious
brain-straining and frantic emails and messages swapping futile ideas here and
there I now only have two puzzles left to solve. Needless to say, these are the
fiendishly difficult ones…
Having had a
rather humungous lunch neither of us were very hungry this evening, so tea was
a bag of crisps and a glass of lemonade whilst watching the first episode of
season two of “Star Trek: Discovery”. I suspect that one day it will be
a classic, but right now I’m not feeling it.
I suppose I
should really program “Hannah” for tomorrow…
