A horrible day today for the people returning to work after the Season's break. No such activity for me as I'm retired, so the wind and the rain didn't bother me other than I'd have liked to have been outside doing something rather than sat inside catching up on t.v..
The rain cleared about 11.30, so I fetched the emptied dustbin back into the garage where it is kept for refilling. I thought that this was going to be the highlight of my day, but when my wife produced lunch, and told me she had used the last of the Christmas goodies, I was overjoyed to sit down to scrambled eggs with smoked salmon crumbled in, on toasted chiabatta bread. where have these eggs been hiding all over the holiday I asked? I thought I was going to have to duck, or have 2 helpings of lunch, but it was a double wind up and we settled down to enjoy the lunch.
A little more t.v., then we decided to visit our sister in law which was very nice, and waylaid the cabin fever.
Home, realised that the International Space Station (ISS) was due to pass at 17.36.57 So I went outside' looked west and there it was right on cue. I watched this for about 4.5 minutes (amazing they can tell me to the second when I can see it but I can only speculate on my observing time.It never ceases to amaze me that there are seven people working, sleeping, eating and living on board the ISS. The website that I use to gain information on satellite passes and other interesting data is www.heavensabove.
Then back indoors to curry and rice, washing up, more t.v...........
Roll on tomorrow, no dustbin to move.
