I woke far too early, but I do that. I got up taking care
not to disturb the dogs, but once I was up they were immediately into the warm
spot I'd left.
I made toast, watched an episode of "Shameless"
and set off work-wards.
As I drove there was talk on the radio of Suella Braverman (the
Home Secretary) who is apparently undermining the Prime
Minister in what is being billed as the first move in her campaign
to become leader of the Conservatives. I can't pretend to be their number one
fan, but surely what that lot need right now is stability, isn't it? Or has she
seen the writing on the wall and has decided her future is better leading the
opposition rather than leading the country?
And crude oil prices are
falling. Apparently this is seen as a long-term trend as Green
energy is becoming less of a crackpot scheme and more of a reality.
Here's hoping.
I got to work for the early shift and did my bit. In pain.
On Saturday “er indoors TM” shut my hand in the fridge door,
and yesterday I went arse over tit down the stairs and strained my knee. One of
the worst things about getting old is that I hurt pretty much all the time, and
knacked fingers and knees don't help.
I had this plan to get petrol tomorrow morning on the way
to work, if only because it is six pence a litre cheaper in Aylesford. But the
“Get some petrol” alarm came on just as I got onto the motorway to come
home this afternoon. Nine days ago I mentioned
that I got four hundred and eighty miles from a tank of petrol; this time I
only got four hundred and forty. Is that a result of a week (or so)
going up and down the motorway as opposed to country lanes?
I got petrol, collected the dogs and took them to
Orlestone. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned
about Morgan being wilful at Orlestone; he didn’t run off at all today, he came
back to the whistle… but he (and Bailey) certainly seemed to be bolder
and braver in Orlestone than they are in Kings Wood.
I shall take them to Kings Wood tomorrow for a “compare
and contrast”.
After yesterday I went to work today for a bit of a rest… I
think I’m still worn out from yesterday’s “Darcie Waa Waa TM”
session…
