Two things of significance happened today. G. bought us a ball launcher and the wireless internet in our flat went down. This meant that after a walk to Prattan Park (where there was limited use of the ball launcher due to a soccer match on the field) I spent the rest of the day tripping over, and being tripped up, in the wires of G’s computer. It is on the coffee table so it can be plugged into the ethernet cable for the modem. Not only is there the power cords and all that – the keyboard and mouse keep falling on my head while I try and play. I mean it’s not my fault if the cords keep getting caught around my legs – but you would think from G and M’s cries of “Steve!” that I pulled all the stuffing out of the sofa arms again. Hopefully there will be more ball throwing tomorrow and G will put his computer back on his desk. Until then I will just enjoy curling up in the sofa – G and M are trying to train me to be “calm” it is fantastic! It means I get treats for doing nothing – I can’t say I really understand but I am not complaining.
The hound speaks!!
ReplyDeleteI'll agree, Steve, that it's odd to be given treats for doing nothing, and be put in the doghouse for trying to be helpful. Welcome to late capitalism.
