Is this Friday the 13th....

I woke up to a load of bad luck, all before 8.30 am.   I'll spare you the details but suffice to say it involved very bad television reception (AGAIN) the computer, and a big, heavy desk drawer which came crashing to the ground.  If I had been sitting at the desk, instead of standing at it, I would be in hospital this minute, with goodness knows how many fractures in my feet.   The fact I wasn't sitting at the desk is something I will remember tonight when I'm reviewing things to be grateful for today.

I went to the computer shop, told them I'd take the computer in on Monday.  Plan to spend the weekend tidying it up.  Then to the cable company about the bad television reception, I think they are fed to the teeth at seeing me.   They did tell me that all the subcontractors from Missouri who were changing over to digital, have gone, so maybe someone in-house will be able to sort it out.

Went to the hospital for my chaplaincy round, as I was leaving the office to go up to the floor Bill the Chaplain said he was going down to the basement to judge a 'Cookie Wars Competition' the staff down there were holding.   I said, somewhat eagerly, that I could do that, I watch all the cookery competitions on the Food Network.  He said he didn't watch that stuff but he knows what cookies he likes.

I went to lunch at the Red Lobster, and had wood grilled lobster, shrimp and scallops.  Took a dessert to go of carrot cake.    It was lovely, thank you Jeremy.

Everyone is talking about the bad weather next week.   I didn't think it looked THAT bad.
 
Saturday and Sunday was too bright to see.   I suppose Tuesday is bad with freezing rain and icy.  If that is so I will stay indoors.

This is a café for cats, this is in Tokyo and there is one in Taiwan, and I think there is going to be one in California.   The idea is that people who live in high rise apartments, who are not allowed to have pets, can go and stroke them in the café.    Fancy.
