Revolutionary Rants

I am back on my desktop computer, BigWig, on our sitting room desk. Very nice, much as I enjoy using the laptop Mac, Gromit, it is good to have my own large screen and humming silver box of tricks back. He made way for Alex’s computer, Papious, over Christmas and with our busy weekends has not regained its position until now.

Well, Stags - like Havent - did not pull off a glorious FA Cup magic victory. The best bit was when some Mansfield Town footballs got kicked over the empty stand and brought the game to a stop for a while. Arsenal won, at least, so that’s something, but I think I would have sacrifised the Gunners for a bit of magic yesterday.

Today we are off to Waters Meet for a walk. It is up near Lynmouth, so a little drive but we are now planning to start walking a good bit more over the weekends. I came to the decision yesterday to definitly get a dog, but - although my heart longs for one - not to get a Labrador again. I think such a big dog would be frazzled from being left alone whilst I work in the afternoons. I will get, I think, a Jack Russell terrier (which was first bred in the village here, so it is very fitting, really). I can give them a big long walk in the morning when I am home, and more over the weekend of course, and then in the evening when we get home as well. We think it would be better to have another Lab if we have kids, because then one of us will be home to look after and educate our little people anyway. So, the search begins for our new friend…
