caddymanGood morning, everybody.
I half expected a slight echo when I typed that. London is very quiet this morning, the tube ride in was very pleasant; hardly anyone on it, and my morning trip into Sainsbury’s for milk and other morning victuals was hampered not by the existence of queues, but by the small selection of sandwiches.
Is there a holiday and someone forgot to inform me? I know it’s Lex Luthor King Day (or something) in the US, but as far as I am aware, the sixteenth of January is just another working day to be endured by the lumpen proletariat here in the UK. I shall be most miffed if I find that there is a good reason for not having to go to work today and am here anyway.
I am toying with the thought of going to get my eyes checked today. I am always on about it, but never stir up the courage. If I need reading glasses that will a couple of hundred quid less spending money for yours truly. At the moment my arms a re still long enough for me to be able to focus on the small print at a comfortable distance. That said, it mustn’t be quite as small as say, ten years ago. Back then I could see a tattoo on a gnat’s arse.
It would have to be a pretty fat gnat now.
