I wouldn’t say that last night’s night shift was busy, but
the work was constant. It was with something of a sense of relief that I saw
the early shift arrive.
I drove home listening to the radio with sadness. There was
an article on the radio about how
some woman had lain dead in a flat for over two years, and somehow or other the
death had gone unnoticed.
The saddest part of all this is that clearly the dead woman
had no friends or family who noticed she’d gone.
I was reminded of one of my old school’s science teachers
who went home from school at the start of the school summer holiday and dropped
dead. It was only when he didn’t go back to school in September that anyone
missed the chap.
How can there be so many lonely people?
I had a shave and a shower, and took myself off to bed. The
puppies soon followed, and the three of us lay there for an hour. We would doze
off, and after a couple of minutes Treacle would then have a barking fit for
absolutely no reason whatsoever. After an hour I tired of this, got up, and
walked the dogs round the block. What with today being the start of the Munzee
Clan War I thought I might make a start. I got a QrewZee and a Qrate (which
was a result).
We came home where I made a start on laundry. In between
watching the last episode of “Downton Abbey” I loaded the washing
machine, hung laundry on the line and ironed shirts.
Now I’ve watched all of “Downton Abbey” I wonder
what I will watch next?
With the back door and all the windows wide open (to try
to air the house through) I watched some episodes of “Four In A Bed”
in which some restauranteur from the Peak District lambasted some pub landlord
from the midlands for having a cobweb on their ceiling when his lavatory seat
had bright yellow piss stains and his bog-brush had a turd on it. If you want
to see hypocrisy in action, this is the show to watch.
During an advert break I had a message from my grandson “Stormageddon – Bringer of
Destruction TM” who (knowing his granddad is a biomedical
scientist) was wanting to know how to create “friendly bioweapons”.
I’m hoping this is connected with his pandemic simulator PlayStation game and
not an early attempt at world domination.
I then spent an hour or so on my next Wherigo project. I’ve
now got four out of six play zones completed.
“er indoors TM” boiled up a very good
bit of dinner (as she does) which we scoffed watching the final of “Lego
Masters: Australia”.
That’s another show we’ve finished watching…
I’m feeling worn out…
