I slept for nine hours last night, and “er indoors TM” was up
before me. that
rarely happens; I must be poorly.
I eventually came downstairs with Morgan and Bailey to find “er indoors TM” and Treacle
already there. Sometimes this can be an issue; Treacle can get territorial and
Bailey gets frightened and when “full” (like we all get overnight)
we sometimes have little potty accidents. But this morning all was well.
I made toast and had a look at the Internet. Being the
start of the Munzee Clan War there was quite a bit of whinging from the rank
and file Munzers that they hadn’t received Clan War invites… Even though they
had. But isn’t this life in general? There are those who contribute (not
that what I do for the Clan War is particularly arduous) and there are
those who find fault. Amazingly many of those kicking off were the non-premium
people. A “non-premium” Munzer is one who plays the free version of the
game. I personally chose to play the premium version for which there is a
charge of about fifty pence per week. These people begrudge fifty pence and
then complain about what they are getting for free… I decided not to tell them
to wind their necks in.
There were several photos on Facebook from the two works
parties I missed last night. I had said
that when I finished my shift last night I would go to the works Christmas do
in Maidstone, and I’d also said that I would go to the boss’s leaving party in
Tunbridge Wells. I forgot about both and came home instead. It looks like I
missed some good parties. Perhaps if I’d not been feeling quite so grim?
I also had an email from my local councillor. On 15 November I found a local
footpath flooded (yet again). That path has been flooding for over
thirty years, and the fix is very easy. I wrote to my local councillor and at
the time I wrote here “I wonder if she will do anything”. Well, she hasn’t. She’s suggested I write to
the Environment Agency and sent me a link that doesn’t work.
I opened my Advent Calendar. Today I had a reindeer. Perhaps an
easier thing to add to my little Advent adventure.
“er indoors TM” set off to Folkestone
to deliver “Daddy’s
Little Angel TM”’s Christmas Tree; for some inexplicable reason
we had it in the spare room. And with “er indoors TM” off for the
morning I took the dogs out. Rather than going to the woods we had a little
walk round the local roads. Being the start of Munzee Clan War I wanted to get
two Qrates (as one does). I got them, and also ten per cent of the
Clan’s total requirement for the month too. Go me!!
Once home I went straight into the garden to
harvest the dog dung, and as I was in mid-harvest so the heavens opened. That
was rather good timing.
“er indoors TM” returned from
Christmas Tree delivery duties, and set off to Maidstone. A few months ago we went to Prison Island and had a
great time. There was a family outing planned for today. I insisted that “er
indoors TM” went and
enjoyed herself, but by the time they’d all driven to Maidstone, parked, done
the Prison Island rooms and the golf and had dinner, it would have involved
leaving the dogs for far too long. And I was still feeling rather grim; the
two-mile dog walk of the morning had worn me out.
With the heavy rain continuing and feeling grotty I settled
down with the dogs and spent the afternoon staring at the telly.
I watched the last part of “The Couple Next Door”
which was rather good. I won’t give spoilers… unlike Facebook did today for
last night’s episode of “Doctor Who”.
I watched “King of Thieves”;
a film about a jewel heist starring Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent and quite a
few other famous actors. I quite liked it as a lot of it featured places I’d
been. I’m funny like that; I like seeing places that I’ve been on the telly.
I watched “Bronson”; a film
about the chap considered to be Britain’s most violent criminal.
I watched the last
episode ever of “Only Fools and Horses”
I watched the Christmas
“Blackadder”.
Normally I’d go stir-crazy
sitting on my chuff for so long, but apart from getting up once for a cuppa and
for a few (quite a few!) coughing fits, I didn’t move all afternoon.
I suppose I feel a bit better than I did this
morning, but I’m still all-in.
