heavy clouds outside
Jun. 29th, 2011 02:30 amCooler today, thank goodness, though no thunderstorms (as promised) yet. Huge great ominous clouds hanging in the sky on the way home, and still out there.
(A windy night was blowing on Rome... wait, that's a different poem.)
Every time the Government (and its ministers) come on the television or on the news to tell us about why the upcoming public sector workers strike is a bad thing, I have the urge to scream, "Hypocrites!" at them, and to throw large pointy objects. I don't think I'm alone in this.
Work continues busy. I've got a long weekend this weekend, with Friday and Monday off, which means the next couple of days is probably going to be even busier. Ah well.
Feet and ankles appear to be slightly swollen, though it's difficult to say how much or when it might have occurred. There's just the feeling that they used to be slenderer than that. Possibly I should see the doctor. Possibly I should just take more exercise.

What's the problem with the Second City?
Never mention the Second City to the Masters of the Bazaar. Mr Wines will look at you narrowly and give you its worst vintage. Mr Cups will fly into a rage. Mr Veils will harangue you for your discourtesy. Mr Iron will say nothing, only write down your name with its left hand.
