Wednesday.

And waddaya know, its nearly the end of the week, and its pay day already.

Yay.

And did I mention Norwich were promoted; did you miss that?

My voice still had not returned, but anyway, I just had the cats to talk to, so having a voice wasn't really essential. Was it?

Jools went to work, leaving me alone, as the cats were already out and about. Outside it was a glorious day, lots of warm sunshine, but I had to stay inside, working away. Oh woe is me and all that stuff. However, a main distraction was the news that broke just as I got up that a number of senior FIFA figures had been arrested by the FBI and Swiss officials. Seems like it was corrupt: who knew? As to what will happen in the ned, that is still playing out, but it did divert more than my attention it should have.

What can I tell you: it is odd not travelling. It doesn't feel right. I mean, it is halfway through the week, I could have had burger and fries several times by now. I break and agree to a request from my boss to travel next week to Denmark. I mean I can meet friends, drink beer, eat ribs and all the rest of the stuff, what's not to like? After that I plan to travel once more to Holland, and hopefully that will be it until after the holibobs. Really, whats not to like about that?

Jools promised she would call the garage to see when we would get our car back; and she was told that the part was not in the country, it was on back order. So, imagine her surprise when they called back half an hour later to tell her that the car was ready for collection. So it goes, so it goes.

It clouded over, and the wind got up, it was too cool to walk, we decided, and so had early dinner, were washed up and ready for the main part of the evening by half six. And that meant Springwatch: nature porn, from Suffolk. Lovely.
