With an alarm set I didn’t sleep well. I woke before
two o’clock and then dozed for fifteen minutes at a time at most. I gave up and
got up at five o’clock and watched the last episode of “Everyone Else Burns”
in which our heroes finally saw through the utter bollox that was the cult
which had held them captive for years…
I suppose that show worked really well for me because
I was once a religious crackpot; I wonder how everyone else related to it? I
wonder what I might watch next?
I sparked up my lap-top and had a little look at the
Internet. Not much had happened overnight so I got ready for work.
When we came home from the woods yesterday I'd managed
to park outside the house, so I didn't have to walk the streets trying to find
where I'd left the car this morning.
As I drove to work the pundits on the radio were
talking about the ongoing war in the Middle East. Apparently Donald Trump made
some speech yesterday which has calmed the markets and oil prices have dropped
quite a bit from the prices they were at yesterday. Personally I find nothing
that bloke says as being calming, but what do I know? The pundits on the radio
were interviewing various windbags all of whom were predicting rising inflation
and fuel prices... which is odd as yesterday's post brought a letter from the
energy company saying my combined leccie and gas bill was going down by a
tenner a month. And that was following me having had the heating on a lot more
over the last few months because it was winter.
More and more I find myself utterly bemused by the
world I'm in.
I stopped off in Sainsburys to get a sandwich. I
eventually got one; some idiot was standing right in front of the fridge in
everyone's way, and seemed to have gone into some sort of trance. He seemed to
be genuinely surprised when he came to and saw half a dozen people waiting for
him to get out of the way.
Again the tills were all closed. The miserable
harridan who often glares at the people using the self-service tills wasn't
there today, but there were a few members of staff (who could have been on
the tills) laughing and joking with each other. Again I emptied a pocket
full of loose change into the self-service machine, but it's not the same
without the sour faced old bat so obviously taking offence at my doing so. It
was only as I walked out that I remembered that I should have got some tennis
balls for Dog Club.
I went into work where I had a rather busy day. Things
started badly with a Red Alert (that's two this week and it is only Tuesday!),
and the day just went on from there.
But an early start made for an early finish. “er
indoors TM” boiled up a rather good
chicken curry which we washed down with a bottle of cabernet sauvignon. A red
bottle. I’ve had the white stuff before and not been impressed, but the red
stuff was rather good. AS we scoffed and swilled we watched some episodes of “Motherland”
which were rather good. We’re now watching episodes of “Clarkson’s Farm”
which aren’t.
