And so we
come to the last day of 2013, and Jan is off to pick up Kile for a few days.
We're not sure how long we will have him for but I'm sure we will manage to
keep him occupied.
Last night I
finished reading Rivers of London but
I'm still not sure what it was really about. A two man team of CID officers
dealing with the 'spiritual' side of the city where it crosses over to commit
murders in the living world. I say spiritual but do so loosely. There are
ghosts galore in it, minor river goods, all sons and daughters of the main
river gods, and named for the various rivers in London. It goes back to
pre-Roman times with the help of a vampire of all things, and come back up to
date, where the hero overcomes all to win through. Well, now at least I can get
back to reading something sensible, well, if ever Parry Hotter was ever
sensible. Just started on last book last night.
I had been
thinking of suggesting that we go to see Charlie in the Anker this afternoon
but with Kile being here I'm sure we will now. We certainly won't be going out
this evening! There will be far too much drinking and real silliness going on
and neither of us is up to putting up with it. We will probably be in bed for
around 11pm anyway. The plan was for a birding tomorrow to start off the 2014 birding
list. One look at the weather and that been stopped. I suppose we will get out
on Thursday though, at least I hope so.
So then, Kile
has arrived and the place is in chaos already. The telly is on but tuned in for
the Wii and Jan and him are playing happily - at least for now. So here's a
photo of the little monster in birding mode ...
And today's
funny is a short one from my normal source ...
A lorry load of Viagra was
recently stolen in Ireland - Police are on the lookout for a gang of hardened
criminals.
