Faced with an enormous amount of work to do yesterday I took the only possible option and sat in
the park watching clouds. This did two things, it caused me to cogitate on clouds and getting chilled from forgetting the cold wind. Just what I wanted. Thus I had excuses to avoid work. This I took up along with a whisky bottle.
Clouds still amaze me, this one is huge, looks fragile, like cotton wool yet weighs tons if condensed into a container of some sort. Had it turned to rain we would have noticed. Yet it merely floats silently along, not stopping for anything, all the time amending shape according to the wind and joining with any other if required. I have seen clouds thus joined stretch all across the European landmass producing no cries of wonder, merely complaints that the sun has been hidden. Yet such clouds are a wonder and we ignore them.
One thing to cogitate is the difference between a fluffy cloud and an ageing mattress. This crossed my mind as I sat there as the sharp portions of a broken spring were still sticking in my mind so to speak. Mattresses ought to last ten years and this one has gone a wee bit past that but I did not expect to be woken that rudely. Turning it over was little help as while sharp bit do not poke through it is clear they will arrive soon. More expense, unless I can make this last until Spring, get it?
My eyesight is a problem as my outdoor glasses do not appear to be working any longer that means Specsavers will be visited soon. Shoes are required, and no doubt lots of tins to store before Brexit leads to starvation. I looked for money under the bed but found only dust and ageing 'toe-tectors' boots that are not worth much now.
Worse than anything else is the lack of football on the telly! Not even a National League game on at lunchtime today and BTSport only offer an English game tonight at the same moment BBC Alba offer a re-run of this afternoons Heart of Midlothian v St Mirren game! Who cares about English stuff when such momentous offerings are available. Surely a time fault here. All that's available at the moment is rugby or golf! BTS also offered baseball this morning, Baseball! Tsk!
Almost six, Football at last about to start, me? I'm almost asleep waiting...
