The late shift was surprisingly
busy; for all that I might whinge about the night work, it is good to be able
to get on with it in my own way sometimes.
As I drove home I was amazed at
what I heard on the radio. Those who nearly destroyed the Labour party over
thirty years ago are being welcomed
back into the fold, whilst those few who until now have been the
only voices of reason have knocked it on the head, left the Labour party and
formed their own little club.
The pundits on the radio were interviewing the apparent leader of this bunch (Chuka
Umunna) this morning. He came over as rather rational and sensible; much
like the gang of four
did thirty-eight years ago. Mr Umunna was rather vague as to what his group are
going to ultimately do. Will they just do their own thing and disappear (never
to be seen again) at the next general election, will they form a new
political party (SDP Mk II)?
You really would have thought
that with the country being flushed down the toilet by what must be the worst
Prime Minister ever and the government in disarray, the Labour party would be making
the most of the opportunity and *not* making complete tits of
themselves, wouldn’t you? The Prime Minister must offer up prayers of thanks
every day for Jeremy Corbyn.
Once home I waved at "er
indoors TM"
in passing, then took the dogs round the park. When I’d left Maidstone this
morning none of the cars were frosted over. As we walked up the road in
Ashford, every car was covered in ice.
It was a beautiful bright morning today; but it was a shame
to see that the KAC (“Keep Ashford Clean”)
bin would seem to have developed some subsidence. As we walked Pogo made some
new friends, all the dogs chased a poor squirrel, and apart from a quick roll
in some fox poo we didn’t have any “episodes”
at all.
As we walked we met OrangeHead who seems to be back with
the “in-crowd”.
With walk walked I had a quick scrub, then over some toast
I finally got to grips with GC-Droid; an app which I’m hoping will be useful
for searching out film pots under rocks. I’ve used the NeonGeo app for years
because it allows me to use ordnance survey maps. However NeonGeo is no longer
available for download. I’m due for a new phone soon, and whatever geo-app I
get, ordnance survey maps are a “must”
for me. I can do this with GC Droid, I *think*
I’ve figured out how to upload via GSAK, and in the circles I frequent you are
nothing if you cannot upload via GSAK. I need to give the thing a serious field
trial now.
I took myself to bed, and
managed to sleep for just under five hours. That’s not bad during the daytime,
really. The dogs did have a few shouting matches but having Treacle and Pogo upstairs
did help minimiise that nonsense. Fudge stayed downstairs and instigated much
of the shouting.
Eventually finding myself wide
awake I got up and watched a couple of episodes of “Traitors” which the
SkyPlus box has decided to download for me. It’s a good show, but does there
need to be quite so many nudey sauce romps?
"er indoors TM" will be home
soon. With any luck she’ll boil up some scran, and then it is off to another
night shift.
Today was something of a
non-event. The days between the night shifts often are.
