I was
sleeping like a log when Pogo kicked me square in the nuts at three o'clock.
That woke me with a start. I would have returned the favour, but he's had his
removed. I managed to get back to sleep, and got a few more hours shut-eye.
I
came downstairs to find Fudge guarding the front door again.
Over
brekkie I watched another episode of "Another Life" in which
the protagonists all kept the clothes on (for once). Much as I'm a fan
of ladies running round in their undercrackers, in TV circles it is usually
the last resort of a desperate scriptwriter and doesn't *really* make
for quality viewing.
I left "er
indoors TM" and the wolf-pack snoring and set off to work.
Having had something of a heatwave over the last couple of days and having
spent four hundred quid getting the car's air-con fixed, this morning was cold
and wet. Far from needing the air-con, I had the hot air blowers on to de-mist
the windscreen.
As I
drove the pundits on the radio were interviewing some vets who operated in the
west country and specialised in sheep. I listened for a few minutes, then
turned over to my rather odd choice of music.
I got to
work, and had a phone call from my brother. What with the heatwave and the
storms that came with it, the flights to and from Spain have been disrupted.
His Spanish holiday has been forcibly extended by (at least) four
days. Apparently thousands of people are affected by this.
Personally
I'd see that as something of a result, but he doesn't. I suspect that this, his
first foreign holiday, will be his last.
As I
left work I popped into the league of fiends (!) shop to get a flapjack
bar. As I was paying, some silly old woman was whinging on about the rain “Typical
British weather, no summer” she ranted. I quietly pointed out that just two
days ago had been the hottest day on record. She had completely forgotten about
that.
I came
home to find "er indoors TM" had gone to Margate to
visit "Daddy’s Little Angel TM", so I settled in
front of the telly, and as the dogs slept I watched the last episode of "Another
Life". That’s the entire series binge-watched in three days. It wasn’t
too bad. I wonder what I can watch next?
"er
indoors TM"
came home and we popped to B&Q. She wanted a little garden table. It made
for a nice birthday prezzie for her. Personally I think the thing will have
rotted away and be in the tip by Christmas, but it should see out the summer.
Hopefully.
We had a
lazy evening in front of the telly. I’ve programmed “Hannah” for
tomorrow. Maybe an early night? I shall guard my “tackle” tonight…
