Looking
back it was such a good day yesterday. The weather was wonderful and the
countryside was beautiful, we were out with great friends. However I knew that
yesterday’s walk was going to be challenging, and this morning after nearly
eight hours sleep (!) it hurt to
move.
I
struggled up, and say that both "er indoors TM" and
Treacle was still fast asleep. I hobbled downstairs where Fudge opened an eye,
turned it to me, and then closed it again.
Over
brekkie I had a look at Facebook as the washing machine did its thing. Twice.
After two hours I got fed up with killing time waiting for "er indoors TM"
to get up so with the washing hung out I started mowing the lawn. With lawn
mowed I then cut back two dustbin-fulls of assorted foliage hanging over the
fence from not-so-nice-next-door. As I worked I had the water features doing
their thing. The big one was a tad whiffy so I emptied a bottle of disinfectant
into it.
As
I slaved away "Daddy’s Little Angel TM" and "Stormageddon
- Bringer of Destruction TM" came to visit together with
Sid and Pogo.
We
had been planning to got to Teston kite festival today to catch up with old
friends, but looking at piccies on Facebook it seemed that with one or two
exceptions pretty much the entire kite-flying fraternity had gone to Portsmouth
for the weekend. Teston is an hour away; a round trip to Portsmouth would take
a large part of the day.
The
kites can stay in their bags a little longer.
Having
decided against a day out to Teston kite festival we also decided against a
walk round the park; it was too hot. So we slobbed about the garden for a while
before walking home with "Daddy’s Little Angel TM".
As
we walked we were going past one of my geocaches. I’d had a report that the
thing was probably missing. It was. I replaced it, and then archived the
listing and created a new one. After five years everyone local has long since
found it. Five minutes effort on my part meant that everyone could have another
smiley face on their listings.
Once
at the "Stormageddon-arium TM" we met up with "My
Boy TM" who was visiting, and I promptly fell asleep. I was
woken with a cheese roll half an hour later, and I spent a rather pleasant hour
watching the most amazing videos. Some chap has make stop-animation videos of
car races featuring Batman, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Lightning McQueen,
Buzz Lightyear and all sorts of other cartoon characters. You can see one of
them by clicking here.
We
came home; I dozed for a bit, then we went up to the Pheasant where we had
Cheryl’s surprise birthday dinner. I ate far too much… I see a restless night
ahead…
