I
was still feeling rather grotty when I woke - did I pick up some lurgy at
Saturday's dog club? I thought about phoning in sick, but decided against it. I
got up and tiddled the puppies. This morning the got on with it and did what
was expected of them. Some mornings they mess about; not today though.
I
settled them with “er indoors TM”, tiddled myself (as you
do) and sparked up the telly and watched the first episode of "Stranger
Things" on Netflix. I've heard a lot of good things about the show. So
far it seems rather good, but the first episode of a four-season show is rather
early to be making a judgement.
Completely
forgetting where I'd parked yesterday I wandered the streets pressing the
"unlock" button on the car's key until I heard the clicking of
the locks in the fourth street I tried. Oh well... I only wasted fifteen
minutes finding it…
As
I drove the pundits on the radio were talking about the Ukrainian situation.
Someone has bombed the only bridge connecting Crimea to Russia, and the
Russians have got the arse. There were a lot of explosions going on in Kiev,
and no one would hazard a guess at what that was all about. Does it really take
Sherlock Holmes to figure out what's going on here?
There
was also talk about whether or not benefit payments should rise either in level
with inflation or in level with wages. The government's view is that they
should go up with inflation... Is this to curry favour with the unemployed and
those receiving benefits? Bearing in mind all the strikes going on and being
voted about, I'm getting the impression that those in authority value those who
don't work more than they value those who do.
The
works car park was rather busy this morning when I arrived; it took a few
minutes to get in. What was that all about?
Before
I started work I had a cuppa and looked at the Internet. I had an email from
the nice people at Credit Karma who told me that despite absolutely nothing
having changed to my financial status in the last year or so, my credit rating
had gone up by five points. I'm convinced they just make it up as they go
along.
I
also had a message from "Vacarcuic Maria" who was offering me
unfettered access to her website featuring various women of dubious morals.
That was kind of her, wasn't it? Perhaps she's heard about my increased credit
rating?
With
work worked I came home, and once “er indoors TM” had sorted
scran she went off bowling. The dogs slept on my lap as I watched this week’s
instalment of “House of the Dragon”. In the last few weeks the show is
leaping forward several years with each episode, and so the characters are
either played by different actors, or the actors are heavily made up. I haven’t
a clue who is who anymore… I think I shall watch the lot from the start again
at some point…
But
not just yet.
“My
Boy TM” went fishing today and posted today’s photo quite early
in the morning. It’s rather pretty, isn’t it. I wonder if he will ever realise
I’ve blagged it…
