The 7am work shift and the cats were restless.
Walking across my keyboard wasn’t the work solution that I wanted to find.
The situation was resolved by opening the back door.
See ya!
Cat flap training ‘aint going well, Comrades.
The morning shifts were completed, and so I cycled off to the gym for the first time in almost a week.
The Trail was bleak. Don’t believe all that you see in an iPhone camera.
I got a little over excited on the treadmill. Lee Dorsey was on my iPod, and Stan Collymore was about to score the winning 4th goal for Liverpool against Newcastle in that match on Sky Sports.
Stan was simply the best player that we saw at Trentside, for an all too brief period. Each time he got the ball, there was an expectation that something special was about to happen.
It usually started on the halfway line, and then involved an improbable run taking on half a dozen opposition players, and then finishing with an almost slow motion shot that was nearly always daisy cutter.
I punched the air on the treadmill, even if Stan was scoring for The Scouse at the time.
My iPod went flying.
Whoops.
Back at base and the dreaded iPod Red Cross appeared.
Oh dear.
My classic iPod drive appeared to be b0rked.
Mr Google told me to bang it very hard on a table.
WALLOP.
Ah, that’s better. It bloody worked.
A little more work, and then I put in half an hour of gardening before sunset.
The kittens have found a new friend in the wisteria. It is usually this time of the year that it needs a severe haircut. The kittens appear to be doing this for me, trampling on the loose branches and pulling them off.
It’s quite remarkable how Daisy and Dotty are sicking to the back garden. They can easily clear the garden gate now.
They will find cars on the other side 🙁
Mr Sainsbury popped round late in the afternoon. My Christmas fridge is now full of cheapo cheese and BOOZE.
I headed out to SUNNY COLCH for the final CBC Cabinet meeting of the year.
Why do I bloody bother?

Wheelie bins were debated for over an hour. It’s a done deal, making the farce of Cabinet a completely pointless exercise for everyone involved.
I managed to catch the second half of the Notts match, and then DARTS.
I do miss Meadow Lane 🙁
