Usually when I go to bed I get an hour or so asleep before “er
indoors TM” and the dogs come up and cause mayhem. Last night as
I went up so Morgan and Bailey woke, got off the sofa and quietly trotted up
with me. Seeing how subdued they looked I naively thought we might all settle
down. Bailey looked pathetically at the bed, and I lifted her up. She and
Morgan lay down. I turned the light off, settled myself... and all hell broke
loose. Both puppies embarked on a pitched play-battle that (despite my
continually separating them and telling them off) continued until “er
indoors TM” finally came up at which point they both settled
without her having to say a word… and then stared a play-fight with Treacle.
I made toast and watched the last episode of "Stath
Lets Flats". Bearing in mind how well the show started, the ending was
a grave disappointment.
I had a little look at the Internet and saw I had a friend
request on Facebook from "Unfaceless Angel". I don't know if
she thinks she looks sexy in the pose she is pulling in her profile picture;
she just looks scary to me.
I got dressed and set off through the rain to find where
I'd left my car. It was where I'd left it yesterday... a couple of streets
away. Getting to it would have been easier had the bin men not deliberately
made the local pavements impassable with discarded recycling bins. Back in the
day the bin men collected the bin from your kitchen door and brought it back
again. These days the bin has to be left in the middle of the pavement for
them, and when they have emptied it, they just hurl it in the general direction
of away from the bin lorry. Am I being unreasonably harsh in saying this? Come
down my road on a Friday morning at half past six and watch them...
As I drove to work the pundits on the radio were talking
about how (ex) President Trump is to be indicted over the
"Stormy Daniels" debacle. From what I can work out, it is
quite acceptable to give a porn star large sums of money for the most vague of
reasons. However if you do so, the accounts must be in order... and it was
claimed that there are irregularities in the accounting of the bung that was
allegedly given to Ms Daniels.
Either way, the expert opinion was that far from putting
the tin lid on Mr. Trump's political aspirations, this whole business will do
no end of good for his chances of being re-elected this year.
Funny old world...
And the UK government was hailing Britain's joining the Indo-pacific trade bloc as the UK's
biggest trade deal since Brexit. Expected to be worth less than a tenth of a
percent of the UK's economy it is certainly a piss-poor arrangement compared to
what the UK threw away when we were part of the European bloc, but these days,
(self-made) beggars can't be choosers. It was claimed that whilst the
financial benefits to the UK might be trivial; the important thing would be
that if the UK were part of the bloc then the UK would be able to influence
Chinese policy should China ever wish to join.
It is a shame that they don't seem at all interested...
Work was work; the highlight of the day was a leaky biro.
But being on another early shift I got out early. I drove home through heavy
rain, and once home I took the dogs for a short walk. They weren’t keen on
going out in the rain, but… they are funny. They clearly wanted to go out, but
not out in the rain.
We walked round the block and came home again.
Despite no one having found the Wherigos I set on Wednesday
I spent a couple of hours working on another new Wherigo project until “er
indoors TM” came home.
“er indoors TM” boiled up a very good
bit of dinner which bearing in mind today was the end of an era (“er indoors
TM” left her place of work today after over twenty years of being
there) we washed down with a rather expensive bottle of wine…
Here’s a tip – you can spend over twenty quid on a bottle
of Pieroth Cabernet Sauvignon, or you can spend a fiver on a bottle of
Sainsbury’s “taste the difference” Cabernet Sauvignon which actually
tastes better.
As we scoffed and drank we watched this week’s episode of “Star
Trek: Picard” which was rather good. In retrospect the program probably
worked better if you’d been watching Star Trek over twenty years ago… but I
was.
