After a
rather early night last night I slept for over eight hours, but (as is
usually the case after a night shift) I was plagued with rather vivid
dreams and woke up feeling as though I could do with a rest and some peace and
quiet. Is It just me that has nightmares about picking a fist fight with the
Women's Institute? (what was that all about?)
I watched a
couple of episodes of "Trailer Park Boys" as I scoffed my
granola then got dressed. I put on my new shirt that I'd bought in Matalan the
other day. I've very good at buying new clothes - I'm just not that good at
chucking out the old threadbare ones. I must start dinging the knacked ones.
I set off to
work. As I drove the pundits on the radio were interviewing one of UKIP's
M.E.P.s. Apparently UKIP's leader (whoever he is) has refused to come on
to the radio, so they were interviewing some bloke named Agnew. He was rather
aggressive, and not at all afraid to show his ignorance. When questioned about
the anti-Islamic tendencies of UKIP he ranted that Islam was a religion that
was actively trying to spread itself across the world, and that was a very bad
thing. Christianity had never done that (so he claimed). Clearly his
understanding of European history of the last several hundred years leaves a
lot to be desired.
Interestingly
the "Thought for the Day" featured some Hindu bloke who
commented on what a treasure trove of literature the Bible is, and how few
Christians have ever actually read it. As a “lapsed sunbeam” myself, it
never fails to amaze me how little so-called Christians know about their
professed religion.
It was
shortly after this radio article that my watch wobbled. (I do like my
SmartWatch). There was a new geocache not a million miles from Leeds
Castle. I was almost driving past the place, so I thought I might take a slight
diversion to see if I could get the First to Find. I diverted, I was first.
Happy dance.
Mind you the
diversion (at rush hour) meant I didn't have time to go to Aldi for
shopping. Ho hum.
I got to work
and realised I'd forgotten to make myself a sandwich. I went to the hospital's
League of Fiends (!) shop and got a sandwich and a bag of crisps. The
nice lady on the till said what they cost, and said if I had a bottle of water
as well I would pay fifty-five pence less in total. I effectively got a bottle
of water for free. I saw that as a minor result.
I did my bit at home and came
home to an empty house. "er indoors TM" had taken the
wolf pack out. I thought I might spend five minutes in the garden watering the
new plants.
Oh how I laughed.
The old shower-mixer tap had this feature that when you
turned it off it automatically went back to the “water from the taps” setting so that you don’t accidentally spray
everywhere with the shower. Our new shower-mixer tap doesn’t hold with this
theory, and I managed to get water everywhere (and a *lot* of it over myself). If it had been anyone else it would
have been hilarious.
"er indoors TM" and the hounds
returned. We had a bottle of rather iffy plonk with dinner. “Junior Bake Off” and “Big Bang Theory” were entertaining.
I’m thinking about another early night…
