Friday fripperies
Friday, March 14th, 2008 01:56 pmI didn’t want to get out of bed this morning – the old eyes really didn’t want to open and yet right now I feel very chipper indeed.
Of course it helps that from this evening, Furtle and I are off until the Tuesday of Easter week, giving us ten full days away from work. We are hoping that on one of the days at least we will get to Brighton (or, it has been suggested, Southsea) for the day to see the sea and take in a little of the old ozone. If the weather stays like it is now: cool, dry and not too windy, Brighton (or Southsea) is not going to be a problem.
It has been a rather busy morning as I get rid of bits and pieces that will fall due while I am away and bury others for eternity somewhere down in the Pre-Cambrian layers of my in tray. In a few months when they are suitably fossilised, I shall dig them out and recycle them. I include in that two more petitions that we have received and sent off the usual desultory acknowledgement.
In the meantime, let me entertain you with this piece that I found during my never-ending quest to find a TV style Batmobile:
