Nov. 1st, 2006 07:58 pmUp at sparrow's fart yesterday morning to go to Basingstoke Civic Day. It's become a tradition that my mother and I bring CDs for Peter to play on the journey when he drives us, so I brought Friends Reunited Hits of 1976 - not as popular as past choices :( Snarled up in traffic most of the way - thankfully Peter had built in enough time to allow for that, hence the early start.
( Basingstoke Civic Day )
Peter agreed to drop me at Asda, where I needed to visit the hole in the wall, stock up with razors and buy an Old Hooky - my mother gave me some money and asked me to pick up a few groceries. On the way out I glanced at a copy of The News. Devastating news - Hawks' cup tie with Millwall is to be played at Fratton Park on the MONDAY. It wasn't the moving the match to Portsmouth I minded, it was the moving it to Monday evening - when I'll be at night school ;(((
There is no possibility of me missing college to go to the game. I'm deadly serious about this course and I really need to go to every class. I will simply have to tune in to the commentary on Radio Solent during class coffee break and on the walk home after.
Nadgers. Bloody stupid Hampshire Police. What was wrong with 12 noon on SUNDAY, which wouldn't allow the Millwall fans to drink before the game??
Passed the evening watching Barcelona v Chelsea in a bit of a radge, although in truth the £20 or so I'm going to save by missing the Millwall game is doing me a favour...
To Fareham after work today to buy an overdue new pair of shoes. Shoefayre didn't have much in the way of size 12s, but fortunately the first pair the lady offered me to try on - natty brown ones - were a good comfortable fit, and only £12. Next stop Argos, to buy an aerial for my portable TV that would allow the Freeview box I got for my birthday six months ago to work. I picked up a 'One For All' one for £29.99 - didn't have to queue more than a few minutes either - then went to get the bus home.
Just spent an interesting evening setting up my channels. Had trouble getting a decent reception with the aerial sat on top of the telly - I had to turn it around and move it to different positions depending what channel I wanted - until I noticed that reception improved while I was lifting the aerial up to move it, only to break up again when I put the aerial down again. That gave me a brainwave. Seeing an old cocoa tin standing on the floor, I put that on top of the TV then put the aerial on the cocoa tin. Problem solved :)
