I slept through till four o'clock this morning, which was
something of a result compared to many days. I lay wide awake for an hour
listening to “er indoors TM” and the dogs snoring before
giving up trying to sleep and getting up.
I still felt fragile, but was rather more chipper this
morning than I had been yesterday or the day before. Back in the day (specifically 7 October
2006) allegedly amongst the many things I drank at a wedding
included twenty-one pints of London Pride, and the next day I was well enough
to build a fence and move (literally) one ton of soil.
Getting old sucks.
I watched another episode of "Shameless"
then quickly checked the Internet. Google said the traffic on the M20 was
moving better than it had been yesterday so that was something of a result. Google
also said that filming had started yesterday on this year's season of "Celebrity Hunted", and
that celebrities and camera crews had been spotted in Norfolk.
I set off to work in the desperate hope of being accosted
by a rather fraught looking dream team of Anthea Turner and the mother out of
"Bebefinn" who (in a perfect world) would have been
desperate for my assistance… The exact identities of the celebrities taking
part haven’t been reveled yet, but I shall be keeping a hopeful eye out for the
next fortnight.
As I drove up the motorway the pundits on the radio were
talking about the amount of lead and nickel being breathed in by children
vaping all sorts of unregulated muck in their
vapes. It's no secret that there's pretty much no control over the content of
vapes; people have been concocting their own mixtures for as long as e-fags
have been about. Some vacuous windbag or other was trying to say that children
aren't allowed to vape until they are eighteen years old so it shouldn't be an
issue... where do they get these co-called "experts" from?
Back in the late 70s I was probably the only one in my secondary school class
who didn’t smoke ten a day. And nothing has changed in the meantime.
And there was an attempt to make scandal over the Home Secretary who was
done for speeding last summer. I must admit I'm not really sure what the
scandal is. People get done for speeding all the time. Perhaps being Home
Secretary she should have driven a bit slower and set an example? Allegedly she
asked for a private speed awareness course? What's wrong with asking...
provided the officials said "no!" Which they did.
To be honest after having been seriously naughty in the
dying days of Liz Truss's government, got the heave-ho, and then being
re-instated less than a week later I can't help but think she'll ride this one
out.
I got to work far quicker than I did yesterday and did what
I had to. I didn’t actually do very much. The opportunity to take the afternoon
off came up, so I came home, loaded the dogs into the car and took them up to
the woods… in the desperate hope of being accosted by a rather fraught looking
team of Anthea Turner and the mother out of "Bebefinn" who
would be desperate for my assistance…
Other than not meeting any fugitive celebrities we had a
good walk. All dogs behaved themselves. It was perhaps a tad warm, but we
followed some of the less walked paths through the trees which were in the
shade.
We came home and watched a couple of episodes of “Shameless”
until “er indoors TM” boiled up a very good bit of dinner
which we scoffed whilst watching the “Plebs” movie. Did
you know there was a “Plebs” movie made last year? I didn’t.
