3 November 2024 (Sunday) - Early Shift

I had an alarm set, and so didn't sleep very well. It didn't help that every time I moved about “er indoors TM told Morgan off. Poor pup.
I gave up trying to sleep, got up and made toast which I scoffed whilst watching an episode of "Everyone Else Burns". In today's episode our hero had to fend off the amorous advances of a fellow congregant.  Shortly after we moved away from Hastings I heard that an old friend from our old church had a similar issue with the (female) organist wanting to get lesbidacious with his wife. Personally I would see that as a result, but things are different when you are a religious nut.
 
I had a quick look at the Internet. It would seem a nephew has got a new girlfriend. It must be difficult being young these days. Pretty much everyone that nephews and nieces hook up with seem to come with children from previous relationships.
As I watched telly and Facebook-stalked a prospective niece-in-law I could hear strange noises coming from next door. Last week I mentioned how she gets up really early every day. Quite often she makes strange noises before six o’clock - a sort of series of grunting-coughing sounds. Perhaps she does some sort of exercise?
 
I drove to work listening to what I can only describe as utter drivel on the radio. It was so bad I found myself listening in disbelief that something so dire warranted being played on national radio. There was some idiot waxing loquacious about how wonderful clear food packaging is because you can see what you are getting, and was trying to make out that tins were a complete rip-off as anything might be inside a tin and you would never know until you bought it and opened it.
This was followed by an interview with a farmer in the deep south of America who was talking about how the seasons are very different to how he remembered them as a child. He said that he used to go fishing for crayfish in the local swamps when he was a lad; these days no one dares go near because of the alligators. He got very aggressive when anyone suggested this might be global warming in action.
 
Just as I got to work “er indoors TM sent a message. Bailey had blown. Twice. Yesterday someone had posted on the Dog Club Facebook page saying their pup had been ill when they got home, and someone else had posted that there was a bug going round giving dogs iffy guts. My lot have iffy enough guts already without bugs helping them along. Last night Morgan was rather squitty, this morning Bailey was throwing up; perhaps they have got a bug.
 
I did my bit at work. Last Sunday was a rather bright day and I sulked because I had to work. Today was rather overcast; I don't mind working on days like that. Even if I was far busier than I expected to be. I blame all these ill people.
But an early start made for an early finish. Over the summer we could take the dogs out after an early shift; this time of year I barely get home before the light starts fading.
 
“er indoors TM boiled up a very good bit of scran. Spicy pork chops, cauliflower cheese, and a large lump of trifle. Oh yus!!  As we scoffed it we watched this evening’s episode ofLego Masters: Australia”. I’d love to have a go at the amount of Lego the contestants get to play with.
