I
didn't sleep well; I was rather restless for much of the night. I gave up
trying to sleep and chased the puppies round the garden before watching an
episode of "Stranger Things" which was rather good despite not
much at all actually happening.
Today
I remembered where I'd parked last night and so found my car much quicker. I
set off to the back end of Singleton where I had a little Munzee mission
capping Evos like a thing possessed, and after I was done I had a little
episode with the car.
I
couldn't get into it. The door wouldn't open. I tried the key a few times and
the lock sounded very quiet and the door wouldn't unlock. After a few minutes I
realised that whenever I pressed the remote unlocking button the reason the
lock sounded quiet was because the lock was about ten yards away... I'd been
trying to get in to the wrong car. Woops! It was as well that no one saw me.
As
I drove to work the pundits on the radio were talking about the latest
financial disaster to hit the country. Apparently the Bank of England has
announced that whatever it is that it is doing to save the country from
disaster, it is going to stop that on Friday, and the rest of the financial
world has three days to sort itself out. In the meantime despite the country's
finances being firmly sailing up shit creek and all paddles having been thrown
overboard, the Prime
Minister has announced that she isn't going to cut public services.
It
amazes me that in any other profession there is a need for qualification and
experience before one can advance to any position of seniority or authority (no
matter how junior) but when it comes to running the country, demonstrably
any old half-wit can have a go.
Meanwhile
NASA have
said that their attempt (a week or so ago) to shove an asteroid in a
different orbit worked.
At
the time I was amazed at the lack of public awareness of this. Being able to
shove space rocks about is of monumental importance. What happened to the
dinosaurs won't happen to us. Mind you it is only a matter of time before some
nutter realises that shoving an asteroid so that it won't crash into the Earth
is in principle no different to shoving an asteroid so that it does crash into
the Earth.
Now
we really are in the territory of James Bond villains.
Work
was work... I did what I could amid a flurry of phone calls about the
arrangements for tomorrow. And at rather the last minute I got the confirmation
for the funeral's live streaming. I say "last minute" - I'd
had them a while ago but hadn't actually read the email properly.
I got home to find “Daddy’s
Little Angel TM” and “Darcie Waa Waa TM”
home. “er indoors TM” sorted out KFC, and we watched “The Lego Batman
Movie”. “Daddy’s Little Angel TM” has taken “Darcie
Waa Waa TM” to bed.
I shan’t be long… busy
day tomorrow…
