What a lovely couple of days. I’m not talking about my life;
I’m referring to the weather. The wasps have been in hiding since the monsoon
season (re)started, so when the sun finally put his hat back on, they must have thought
that they’d won the lottery, Any day now, they will go utterly bonkers and
start flying into traffic lights. It’s true. I saw them do that very thing six
years ago. I don’t care what happens to them as long as they go away. Something
that will go away, as soon as it arrived, is our Indian summer. I can’t believe
how nice it’s been, however I can believe that I wasn’t able to take advantage
of it. Having been away for the last two weekends, and never having fully
recovered from the previous six trips away, I’ve left myself with a backlog of
housework, paperwork, too much work, and I don’t know how long it will take to
get back to the way things were before Easter. The concert season has started,
and there’s plenty of football. I’ll not be at home much in the evenings or at weekends for
the foreseeable future. It’s going to be slow progress.
I could do with being at home to watch the massive number of
programmes on my Sky+ box. My dish will be being removed in the near future
because of renovation to the outside of the building and won’t be going back on
the wall. I'll have to use the communal dish, instead. I’m tempted to cancel my subscription and go for a Freeview +HD box,
as I rarely watch anything on the satellite channels. The greater proportion of
my subscription goes on Sky Sports, and only then to watch (if I remember)
those Celtic away games that make it on to the TV which, to be fair, are most
of them. I also watch some English Premier League games. For one month’s subs
to Sky, I can take out a subscription to Celtic TV, and see the entire game on
the Internet the next day or later. Would I be able to find the time to watch a
match for which I already know the score? I doubt it. There are other things I
could do with my time. There are other things I could with my money. Freeview +
HD seems the favoured option, for now.
I’m also behind with my other blogs. I guess I’ve been
having too good a time.
