For once I had a good
night's sleep. At one point in the night I heard a thundering coming
up the stairs, and what felt like a ton weight landing on me. Fudge
had worked out that if he throws all of his weight at the baby gate
at the kitchen door he can force the gate open. I let him sleep on
the bed for no other reason than that I wasn't going to get up to put
him back where he belonged.
After a swift bit of
brekkie "My Boy TM" came visiting.
He adjusted the baby gate at the kitchen door. That seems to have
fixed the pestilential pup's antics. He also sorted out the pile of
fleeces, jackets and coats that were cluttering up the house. He was
going to throw a lot of them away for no other reason than that he
didn't want them any more. But there was a lot of wear left in most
of them, and now that I'm a mere shadow of my former self they fit me
quite nicely. So I now have several new fleeces, jackets and coats.
He spent a bit of time
grumbling about having toothache. I told him to see the dentist, but
he never listens to his old dad. He then set off on his way; giving
me a lift to the town. I had money to pay in to the astro club's
account. Quite a lot of the stuff. Again in retrospect I've missed a
golden opportunity to embezzle. Whilst in the town I popped into the
traditional jeweller. Since I lost a third of my body weight my
wedding ring has become a tad loose. Several sizes loose. So the
jeweller is going to make the ring somewhat smaller. I collect it on
Friday.
Home again, to find the
dog-proofing on the kitchen door had worked, much to Fudge's chagrin.
I made myself a quick sandwich, then I geared up with waterproof coat
and trousers to take Fudge for a quick walk round the block. The rain
was torrential, but Fudge wanted a walk, and I get bored if I stay in
the house. Whilst we were out I laid a series of four geocaches to
celebrate my up-coming four hundredth cache find (I'm currently on
399 finds). The "Fudge's Folly" series is a
group of easy-to-find caches across South Ashford which went live
this evening; and have all had their first finds already...
