I didn't sleep very well; I gave up, got up, made toast and
watched another episode of "Three Body Problem" which was
rather good. I suspect that I'm helped quite a bit by having read the book
first; the plot does make sense; even if it does jump about rather a lot.
I had a quick look at the Internet. Facebook was free of
squabbles this morning... or it was at six o'clock.
Pausing only briefly to scrape the ice from the car I set
off to work. The re-activation of
Operation Brock for absolutely no reason at all rather
hindered my journey, as did having to go several miles out of my way due to
road works between Junctions six and five on the motorway.
As I drove I listened to the radio. There was some
strangely interesting article about how Ordnance Survey maps aren't designed
with donkey trekking in mind. This was followed by consternation from farmers
who've been told that if their farms are so unprofitable that they need to
claim benefits then they need to look at doing something else to earn a
crust. And there was a lot of concern
about the Princess of Wales who's
announced that she too is being treated for cancer. I found myself rather
intrigued by her being described as a young mother. She's forty-two; hardly
young?
I got to work. This week is a three-day week for me. I
worked the early shift last Monday. Yesterday was a day's leave, and I was on
the early shift today. I *really* didn't want to work today. The weather
forecast had been wrong again, and I spent quite a bit of time this morning
looking out of the window at a glorious day and sulking about missing Dog Club
and the quizzes on the radio. Mind you the weather had turned by mid-day, and
the afternoon saw torrential rain interspersed with hailstorms.
With work worked I came home. I had a cuppa, and fell asleep
on the sofa. I woke five minutes before Chris arrived with the Infinity Table,
and shortly after that Steve and Sarah arrived.
We had a rather good evening chatting and putting the world
to rights and playing “Ticket to Ride”. There’s no denying that I came
last in the first game, but in the second game I managed a respectable third
place.
And just before we packed up we had a very quick game of “Snakes
and Ladders” in which my pink princess avatar came last.
I rather like our game nights…
