Wednesday, 7.30pm
Thought for the Day - There's never anything good on TV, except on the night when your two favourite programmes clash
Pug Status - A little cross-patch all day, telling off those naughty Council workers outside the front window
A new electrical gadget has made its way into the kitchen, and bets are already on as to how infrequently it will be used and how soon it will be gathering dust at the back of the kitchen cupboard. My wife was lucky enough to be given a counter-top rotisserie oven in pristine condition, just big enough to fit a plump whole chicken (or perhaps an emaciated wart-hog)....
Just like the smoothie maker and sandwich toaster before it, there was an initial burst of excitement as we all crowded round to see how it worked - peering through the glass front like a gang of poor urchins outside a toy-shop, we stared in wonder as our garlic-infused chicken slowly revolved on the turntable. It took exactly 17 seconds for boredom to set in. At that point our youngest came in to ask what we were having for dinner. "Rotisserie chicken" I said, "but - only if there is enough to go round!!!" (Humour is wasted on the young....)
So, after a sumptuous meal of disorientated bird, it was time to sit down and relax with a fresh newspaper, a spot of TV and a lap full of pug. Lots of coverage in this week's Welwyn Times about the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War Two. My Grandad always kept his regulation gas-mask and it certainly has come in useful over the years. They should be standard issue for pug owners. Never ever feed them ox liver. If you thought 'Purple Haze' was just a Jimi Hendrix record then you can think again....
Must go now - have to put the rubbish out. And, yes, it IS the right day today....
