There is clearly something wrong with me. It seems that I am unable to have a lie-in anymore. The last time this happened I was feeling depressed, and I am pretty sure that's not the case at the minute. I'm having one of those phases where loads of ideas are floating around, so I think that is the reason. Infuriating though. I spent the morning reading, Updating iPhones etc, and re-arranging my bag. I was bought a "Man-Bag" as a gift by the cast when we did Earnest last year. I really like it, and it has become a permanent fixture for me, containing, as it does, so many gadgets/tools etc. Well as I use it for work as well, it does tend to get filled up with various scraps of paper and other oddities. I cleared it out, and organised it today, and it now houses my complete "How to be a Geek on the road" kit! How very satisfying that it.
We have been chatting quite a bit lately about how we coped with the last year's stresses and strains, and decided that by way of a little thank-you to the girls we would take them out for a meal. We decided on the Dewdrop Inn, an inexpensive Chinese restaurant in Ampthill that myself and Mrs Plug have tried before. It was a pleasant evening, marred slightly by the fact that eldest was feeling ill, and the table next to us contained what I can only describe as the Daily Mail Hitler Youth reunion society. The table of four well turned out pensioners looked fairly harmless when they arrived, but after hearing the way they spoke to the staff, I was left in no doubt that they had a problem with either staff in general, or more worryingly, anyone who "Look foreign". I hope it wasn't the latter, but suspect that it was. They were absolutely revolting. Even basic manners were discarded in favour of ignorance and rudeness. I was pleased to say that my girls put them to shame with their good manners and smiles when being served.
