I woke feeling refreshed, full of energy and raring to
go only to find it was only ten past one. I then dozed on and off for the rest
of the night eventually giving up and getting up to watch another episode of “Victoria”
in the small hours. Was Prince Albert actually illegitimate? Probably not.
I had a little look at the Internet as I do most
mornings. It was much the same as ever with the truly stupid again queuing up
to proudly show off their ignorance. I’ve taken to following an early
retirement Facebook page which regularly has people in their early fifties
posting to it. Having made no pension provision whatsoever these people are all
asking what is the secret to taking an early retirement, and are all getting
quite aggressive when they realise they’ve left pension provision about thirty years
too late.
Mind you there has been a minor disaster at the goat
sanctuary. Having had an influx of over twenty new goats just before Christmas,
they’ve had an outbreak
of Orf and so have had to close to any visitors until that
passes. That will leave them rather short for the next few weeks so if anyone
has any spare bunce, you can send them a donation by clicking here.
I munzed, got Wordle on the fourth attempt, then we
all got ready for Dog Club.
We drove round to Repton – the dogs started squealing
when they realised where we were going. Being the Saturday between Christmas
and New Year I wondered if we’d have much of a turn-out; I counted sixteen dogs
at one point. A good time was had by all; even if some of our number were
rather “frisky”.
We came home. “er indoors TM” went
shopping; I watched more “Victoria” and then my cousin sent a message.
Her father had had a stroke overnight. These things always happen at Christmas.
We watched the Christmas “Gavin and Stacey” which
was rather good, and then twenty minutes of “Carry on Camping” which was
frankly dreadful fifty years ago and has just got worse with time.
Chris arrived with the Infinity Table, and just as it
was set up so Steve and Sarah arrived. We had a rather good games night. “Game
of Life”, “Sorry”, “Ticket
to Ride” and scoff as well. Chicken doughnuts were rather good.
I do like our games nights.
Today would have been my mum’s birthday…
