The excitement of
yesterday evening clearly took its toll when I fell asleep in front
of the telly shortly after getting home at 11pm. Bearing in mind how
poorly I usually sleep "er indoors TM"
probably did the right thing leaving me asleep; I woke and went to
bed properly shortly after 3am when I dozed fitfully for a couple of
hours before getting up and re-watching the lastest episode of "The
Big Bang Theory" which I slept through last night.
The morning;s news was
all of a twitter about Sir Bruce Forsyth stepping down from his
leading role in "Strictly
Come Dancing". I can't say I blame Sir Bruce; he's well
into his eighties, and is twenty six years over the age at which I
intend to retire. Personally I've always liked his appearences and
wish him well, but I can't hide my amazement at the uproar the news
has generated. How on Earth is Strictly Come Dancing peak time TV
viewing? Have you ever seen the show? Whilst I hestitate to dismiss
it as utter drivel it is... well, it is utter drivel. WHat is the
attraction of the show? I can't see it.
And so on with the
business of the day. Hunting tupperware. Today was the "Maker
Madness" event at which people showed off their
inventiveness at creating geocaches. I had this vague idea to crow
about the Wherigos I've put out. It's no secret that I expected that
I would invite people along people along to a Wherigo walk only to
have no one show, and then I would whinge that I'd offered... sulk,
sulk sulk.
In the event I was wrong.
A dozen people came along and we had a really good time. I didn't
need to help at all. Everyone seemed quite OK with the software; I
just wandered along chatting with friends old and new as we went. An
hour's stroll led us to the cache as I'd intended when I'd put the
Wherigo out all those months ago.
Leaving eveyone behind to
find the Park Farm caches I then took "Furry Face TM"
home where he went to sleep and I made my way to the WIlliam Harvey
pub for the monthly meet-up of tupperware hunters. A really good
meet-up of like-minded people. I chatted with old friends. I met new
friends. I even met Frankie-Doodle who I've not seen in over ten
years. And having guzzled a gallon of light & bitter we even went
and did a geocache just to prove we could...
