fog 25 September 2008
The weather went nuts again this morning. It’s September, for all those of you who refuse to believe it – and who could blame you. I looked out the window at around 9.30am and it was foggy. Bizarre. The sight was rendered even odder by the presence of a van outside the house boasting of global solutions on its side – the solar panels man was surveying the place for our bid to save a bit of the planet. If September is this dark and cold it’s hard to see how we’ll be getting much juice out of those babies once they go up. As I mentioned it was pretty damn nippy so I ran with the surreality of the day and switched the heating on. Hey, it was just going that way, okay?
I thought the day was on a downward path so I started doing my tax return too, while I was in the mood.
Good things happened however – Ugly Betty returned and so did Bones. The bad thing was they clashed and the flicky thing for changing channels is locked into a bit of the house we can’t access so I had to sit on the very, very edge of the sofa in the makeshift living area and switch over and back manually. Quite a mad way to watch tv. Actually we had a television once that allowed split screen viewing, though you could only have sound from one programme and it was one of the most pointless things I have ever encountered. At least the way I did things tonight meant I heard whatever I was watching…and the ad breaks were at slightly different times so I got the gist of both shows. Thinking about it, though, I guess I should learn how to use the video, eh?
