I
often talk of having an early night; I actually did so last night. Apart from a
couple of trips to the loo I slept for eleven hours. It has been a stressful
week.
I
got up leaving "er indoors TM" and the dogs asleep, had my
morning ablutions and made some toast. Fudge helped me with the crusts as I
peered into the depths of the Internet. For once people had posted photos of
what they’d been doing.
Some friends had been
canoeing in Larkfield swimming pool. We really should get our canoe out… though
maybe leave it until spring.
There
had been a geo-meet yesterday afternoon – what with one thing and another I’d
forgotten all about it.
A
friend’s band had been playing in Ashford – I’ve not seen him in years and I’d
forgotten about that too.
I
saw quite a few adverts for Lego sets on some of the Lego-related Facebook
groups that I follow. Lego is rather expensive; the stuff that I like (from
the 1970s) particularly so. The vintage Lego Facebook pages can be quite
comical. Those selling the stuff want a fortune for it. Those buying want it at
bargain basement prices. And (seemingly) never the
two shall meet.
I
looked at a few sets I quite fancied, and can’t help but think that I could
probably make something very similar out of my spares.
We
took the dogs out for a little walk round the park. "er indoors TM" wanted to do some Munzee
maintenance. The walk went well… Pogo was puzzling. We’ve been watching that “Dog
Whisperer” TV show in an attempt to get an insight into what goes through
his head. We met two other dogs with whom he was fine until they got too close
to Fudge. Fudge didn’t care, but Pogo was being protective. Shortly after he
was having a serious shout at a passing dog when another came past. He
completely ignored the second dog.
Why?
If only I could figure
out what goes through his head.
We got home to find that Cliff
had popped round. We’ve not seen him for ages; it was good to have a little
catch-up.
We
then went on to Matalan. I specifically wanted shirts for work. But none of
them had a breast pocket. I like a breast pocket as it gives me somewhere to put
my phone. Oh well… Whilst I was there I got new slippers, jim-jams and a pair
of trousers. Bearing in mind that not many people cater for the more rotund
physique, I buy stuff when the opportunity arises.
We
came home via the co-op. They do a rather good Belgian bun. Belgian buns and
coffee did us for lunch.
I
wrote up some CPD until "Stormageddon - Bringer of
Destruction TM" arrived with Sam. He seemed utterly
disinterested in me; far more interested in playing the game on Sam’s phone.
They all set off on a mission leaving me “Home Alone” with the dogs. I
sparked up Netflix and watched (slept through most of) the last episode
of “Parade’s
End”. I then stayed awake through two episodes of “Green Eggs and
Ham” after which "er indoors TM" returned.
She’s
now boiling up dinner, I’m sitting in front of the telly in my new jim-jams and
slippers. Despite an incredibly lazy day I’m wondering about having another
early night…
