No, I mean it, it’s been one of those … mixed … days, today.
It really has!
I’ll be frank, the reason local charity, The Lighthouse Project, gets a mention, is because that’s where I’ve just had to buy a new fridge freezer, in a hurry.
They’re not cheap.
But they are cheaper than Argos, who were wanting silly money for an equivalent fridge!
Here’s hoping they deliver as promised, before I go to work, at Ten, tomorrow.
But, well …
There goes the overtime … !

And the morning, seemingly, started so well.
As you‘ve probably guessed, by now, I’m one of the many people who think that computer scientist, Alan Turing, was rather badly let down, after the war.
Let’s face it, the guy was a war hero. If it wasn’t for the work he pioneered, and others took up, we’d’ve not won World War Two.
So finding out, this morning, that Prime Minister Gordon Brown has issued an ‘unreserved apology’ for Turing’s Indecency charges is a bit of good news, for those of us who’ve long felt it to be a bad way to deal with a war hero.
I think some sort of medal’s in order …

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
