I had a dreadful night. After a couple of hours spent
fighting for any duvet at all I stood up and yanked the thing three feet in my
direction (at three o’clock this morning). As I was up I popped to the
loo and came back to find all three dogs spread out across where I’d been
trying to sleep.
Another battle then ensued.
And then just after I finally managed to doze off so Morgan
started making “being sick” noises.
I made toast and had my usual root around the Internet. It
was still there, and much the same as ever. I sighed as I read one of the
Lego-related pages. This particular page is intended to be about identifying
obscure bits of Lego. Back in the day people would post photos of a bit of Lego
shaped like a cross between an armpit and a marquee and ask what set(s)
it was originally from, and what function it served. Nowadays people post the
photos and ask how much the piece is worth.
I also saw that a cousin-in-law’s daughter had married her
girlfriend at the weekend. That would explain the cryptic countdown that had
been appearing daily on cousin-in-law’s Facebook page last week. Back in the
day the entire family (no matter how distant) would have gone to
something like that, and regularly did. Nowadays, things are sadly different. I
blame the demise of the annual family reunions.
I drove down to Folkestone
to collect “Daddy’s Little Angel TM”. She was off out with
Cheryl today, and I was looking after “Darcie Waa Waa TM”. I
deposited the most recent fruit of my loin with Cheryl and brought most recent
granddaughter home.
In retrospect it was probably something of a mistake having “er indoors TM” working
from home today; with two of us here, littlun couldn’t decide who she wanted to
be with. We went through all the episodes of Bebefinn (twice), harassed the
water dogs (pond fish) several times, snogged Treacle, Morgan and Bailey
several times, but apart from a forty-minute sleep at mid-day, she didn’t
really settle at all.
It was a shame that Morgan ate her socks.
“Daddy’s
Little Angel TM” returned after a few hours. Leaving her with
littlun and her mum I took the dogs to the woods. We had a fairly good walk; Morgan
was a tad recalcitrant though. Like “Darcie Waa Waa TM”. He was
probably over-tired.
And with dogs walked I
drove “Daddy’s Little Angel TM” and “Darcie Waa Waa TM” home.
Littlun cried the whole way. She cried on the way up too; she doesn’t seem to
like cars very much.
“er indoors TM” went gone bowling. I
watched an episode of “Shameless” and I think an early night might be in
order. What with the piss-poor night’s sleep and WaaWaa being full-on all day,
today wasn’t the most relaxing day’s leave I’ve ever had…
