Being on the late shift today I didn’t
have an alarm set and I slept a *lot*
longer than usual. I liked that. Over brekkie I had a look-see at the Internet
(doesn’t everyone?) As usual,
happiness, trivia and squabbling abounded in pretty much equal amounts.
I did find a link which turned your
photos into works of art; I was quite pleased with the result. I also found the official video of Sparks’ latest single. It’s rather good. I
can relate to it. “What The Hell Is It
This Time” relates to God getting just a tad peeved with the relentless
tirade of prayers demanding trivia.
I glossed over the latest scamming email
from Nigeria (from Miss Rose Richard this
time – she hopes I have a good moment!) and I took the dogs for a walk.
As we walked up the road we met the old
Irish chap we see from time to time. He’d not met the puppy before; is it that
long since we last saw him? We carried on into Bowen’s Field and did our usual
circuit of the park with "Furry Face TM" straggling
far behind. Sometimes I worry that the walks are a bit much for him, and other
times when he charges off for whatever canine flight of fancy it is that takes
him I wonder if he’s just becoming more and more wilful.
We went round the park and just as we
crossed the co-op field so the rain started. Not much, just a shower. We came
home; I had intended to do laundry and mow the lawn, but the forecast showers
put me off of that idea. I settled the dogs and went off on a little adventure.
I went to Angling Direct (used to be Ashford Tackle), and promptly
wished that I hadn’t. The staff were all too busy to see to me; they were
entranced by some vacuous old windbag who was complaining that he’d been thrown
off of some fishing venue because he was making a cup of tea, and boiling water
is against health and safety. Most fishing shops have a fishing bore at the
counter who buys nothing but somehow monopolises the place. I need to find a
more convenient place to shop.
Mind you I then went to Argos where I
got a fishing brolly for half the price of the one in Angling Direct.
I then drove into Aylesford; I had a
look in the aquatic shop there, and then totally failed to find a fishing
tackle shop that Google said was nearby. So I consoled myself with McLunch, and
then went to the late shift where I spent the rest of the day being thirsty.
Why do McDonalds smother their food in
salt?
