I slept for nine hours last night; the last few hours were
spent dozing whilst fighting a battle trying to retain some of the duvet. A
battle I eventually lost.
I got up, made a cuppa and had a look at the Internet to
see if I’d missed anything overnight. I hadn’t really. There was a minor
argument on one of the Radio Four Facebook pages. Someone hadn’t liked a
program explaining how evolution worked, and people who didn’t understand
evolution were making a pretty poor show of explaining it. There was a talk of
an argument on one of the Facebook pages which features old photographs of
Hastings… I say “talk of argument”; the chap who runs the group is often
complaining about people causing upset on that group. I’ve never seen any
myself (which is rare for a Facebook group); I offered to help moderate
the group if that would help, and my offer was accepted. Perhaps I might see
some of the squabbles now?
I had an email that one of my geocaches in Kings Wood had
gone missing. As is always the case with missing geocaches it was one of those
furthest from the car park but replacing it will make for a good dog walk in
the week.
I had an email from Sainsburys home insurance saying the
household insurance was up for renewal… at over double what I paid last year. I
phoned through to them but the people I needed to speak with didn’t work on
Sundays. Insurance companies are a pain in the glass (to coin a phrase).
They always do this – they send through a renewal at a ridiculous price, and
when you phone them to whinge they reduce the quote; often to lower than what
it was last year.
We popped into town for our monthly brekkie catch-up with friends.
You can’t beat a bit of brekkie. And with brekkie scoffed we came home and I
spent a few minutes with moneysupermarket dot com looking at household building
and contents insurance. Within ten minutes I had thirty-seven quotes that were
cheaper than what Sainsbury’s were offering. Cheaper by hundreds of pounds.
With nothing else on the agenda and rain forecast for later we
thought we’d take the dogs out. We drove down to Dymchurch and did the
geocaching adventure lab caches down there. They took us on a simple but good
little guided walk, and despite the colour of the sky, the rain held off.
We came home, and I spent the rest of the afternoon on the sofa
underneath a pile of dogs watching more episodes of “Four In A Bed” in
which (again) those with the crappiest Bed & Breakfasts felt they
had so much to teach to people who were doing a far better job than them.
“er indoors TM” boiled up a very good
bit of dinner which we scoffed whilst watching last week’s episode of “Bake
Off”; we’ve now caught up. Mind you, this year I’ve not heard any spoilers about
the show. In previous years there’s been loads.
Is it losing its popularity?
I feel knackered – I really should have gone to bed yesterday…
