Tick Tock

The basis of every good crime story

I'm not usually a clock watcher, but today I had very little work to do despite asking for it. It wasn't too bad mind, a slow trickle of stuff, but nothing meaty to get my teeth into.. you know the kind of work that gets you so absorbed you hardly realise the working day has passed and you're slipping into overtime.

Nonetheless though, I make it through the day, and when I get home I start to tidy away the sprawl of camping stuff that is laying around the lounge - not a problem, most of it has gone into the shed, where I dare say it may well gather dust and cobwebs for some considerable time to come. That is unless of course the house falls down and hell freezes over at about the same time.

I also notice that the neighbours are having a hot tub installed, which whilst a nice idea certainly aims high on my Fugly {definition} scale of one to 10. Their garden was lovely before, but now it seems to be over powered by a big plastic tub... I guess it matches well with the big plastic caravan they have too :)

Pizza and chips for tea as it's the only viable option as I ravage through the remnants of freezer stock, with Angel Delight for pudding. I love Angel Delight, its one of those things that remind me of my childhood, when taxes, terrorists and death seemed to be the ingredients of fantasy rather than reality... I guess we all have to grow up though, it's just nice to have a snippet of that innocence for a moment whilst indulging in food.

There isn't much on the box tonight either, but we do watch the first part of a new Silent Witness story... quite good to, though if its got blood, dead bodies and forensics in it I'm hooked anyway. Where as Mr. Phil just decided to pick holes in the continuity and details of the plot... with skills like that maybe he should be a detective rather than a computer bod, he certainly has an eye for detail whereas I just blindly bumble along paying little attention to anything. :)
