The
night shift was hard work; I didn’t stop at all. I was glad to see the relief
arrive.
As I
drove home the pundits on the radio were talking about our new Prime Minister.
I got the distinct impression that pretty much everyone has given up with Boris
Johnson before he has hardly started. There was a lot of criticism for his
having replaced most of the existing Cabinet; I thought the etiquette was that
given a new Prime Minister the old guard would resign to let the new boss pick
his (or her) pick their own team.
I can’t
help but think that Boris Johnson has become Prime Minister three years too
late. He led the “Leave” campaign; when his lot won, they should have
seen the job through there and then. He might make a go of leading the country;
he might make a total balls-up. Time will tell – it always does.
Rather
than coming home I drove t the garage. The air blowers in my car packed up a
couple of weeks ago and the three lowest settings don’t work. It has two
settings; off or hurricane. The idea had been for "er indoors TM"
to meet me at the garage with the dogs and we would walk home. But when I got
to the garage it was already twenty-eight degrees so I told "er indoors
TM" to leave the dogs at home and the nice garage man drove
me home.
I got
home to frantic barking; the dogs wanted to go for a walk, but they were all
panting with the heat, and that was just in the shade of the living room. We
didn’t go out. I had a shave and went to bed. I slept for three hours until
Fudge had a barking fit when the postman delivered a load of junk mail.
I made a
late brekkie, then decided against doing some ironing. Instead I watched last
week’s episode of “Catch 22”. As it finished I saw that “Four In a
Bed” was starting. With it being far too hot to do anything I carried on
staring at the telly. I do like “Four In a Bed”; have you ever seen the
show? Those who run guest houses go round to slag off the opposition. One of
the guest houses featured in today’s show was in Rye. I do like telly filmed in
places where I’ve been; but claiming to be in Rye, footage filmed came from
Rye, Playden, Winchelsea and Hastings.
I spent
a little while checking over the web pages I’d created for the new geo-series
that I’ve been working on. I found a few mistakes and put them right. I expect
there’s more mistakes waiting to be found; there usually is.
I had
such plans for the afternoon, but what with today being the hottest day the UK
has ever had (apparently) I pulled all the curtains and slobbed in front
of the telly. I found something new on Netflix; “Another Life” stars
Katee Sackhoff (out of BattleStar Galactica) and featured her running
round a spaceship in her undercrackers within minutes of the start of the show
(result!). Mind you, if you take out Katee Sackhoff running round in her
undercrackers, there’s not a lot left in the show.
According to
Wikipedia the show was actually released today so for once I’m in at the
start. Usually I find out about TV shows long after everyone else.
"er
indoors TM"
came home; the plan had been to take the dogs down to Orlestone Woods, but with
the temperature still over thirty degrees at six o’clock it was still too hot
for the dogs.
Today is
probably the first day of the year that they haven’t had a walk. Maybe we’ll
have a walk tomorrow – to the garage to get my car possibly. If it gets fixed…
