Day Off and I actually get a lie in (if you can call 7 O'Clock late ;0) ). But I wake up with a bout of SSS (Stupid Stomach Syndrome). My plan for a couple of outside jobs goes flying out to the window and I wakeup to a face full of Dougal.
Never mind, even though there is a list of jobs as long as your arm - watercolours on the kitchen table sounds nice about now

I went to sleep last night with the sounds of someone’s BBQ/Disco/Stoned out their heads party still throwing out dodgy tunes at 11:30 pm (luckily for me I tend to sleep through the noise caused by a local world war )
I wake up this morning to the blessed sound of the dawn chorus.
Or so I thought.
There, just at the edge of all that natural sound is something artificial.
It sounds very low level, almost like the sound of an old style movie radio broadcast. And I don’t know where it’s coming from.

So goes the tag line on the index page of Sky Movies on Demand. Having got a little fedup of watching Myth Busters AGAIN!! I thought I would look for something different to watch.
I guess I'm just in one of those moods, in some odd, and strange, mind set; as I have gone through THE WHOLE LIST and could see nothing that I wanted to watch.
Time to search Netflix I guess....

This is usually followed by a statement along the lines of "After extensive Customer Research/Customer feedback we have decided to improve of service by …..”.
This, in my experience usually ends up with a list of “improvements” that I had never even considered, nor would use either. And then, at the bottom, is usually an apology, but from next month your subscription NOW will cost..
It’s like they are doing you a favour!!

Have just heard on the news that they are concidering running their own "Eurovision" type competition, especially seeing who won this years fix (sorry competition).
I think they should - that will give me TWO programs to avoid like the plague

Am up, once again far to early for a none work day.
Far to early to be awake on ANY day!
Anyway, I’m sat looking for new apps for my new phone thinking that there are many, many awful apps when I sort of see something out of the corner of my eye. Initially Dougie does nothing so there is nothing – right?
Head stays down looking at the phone – but there is still that feel that you are being watched.
There really is someone there.
And this time Dougie moves.
I look out towards the hallway to see nothing.
No noise. No signs. No nothing.
So I wander out into the hall to have a look.
Then I jump out if my skin. To see someone St the top of the stairs.
Since when does Laura move round the house without making a sound?

And then, after a fuss, he always goes back to sleep.
Then, imagine my confusion, as l force my eye lids open, to hear the clicking "Countdown" sound that always precedes afresh section of 24
I wonder who's awake?

Am watching the relatively rough and tough world of British Super Bikes on EuroSport.
It did bring a smile to my face when the commentators, who regularly quote “So and So, riding for Rough and Tough Racing”, bring out “ So and So, riding for HARIBO, STARMIX RACING”
Love it
