I slept like a long last night but woke up feeling rough. I
had this naïve idea that if I got up and pootled about I might perk up so I put
another load of washing in, had a shave and made brekkie. I hadn’t perked up
much so I mowed the lawn and it nearly killed me. Bearing in mind I had some
old COVID tests left over from the days when I had to do twice-weekly testing I
thought I’d use one to prove I didn’t have COVID…
Oh well – I’ve got COVID. Again.
Plans for going to B&Q and the garden centre went out
the window. Instead I sat on the sofa (feeling grim) and looked at the
monthly accounts. They could be better; they could be a whole lot worse. It
would seem that I’ve been charged interest on the things for which I used my
credit card when we were away. You would have thought that when I spoke to the
bank they might have mentioned that, wouldn’t you? I paid the credit card bill
– I overpaid. There’s still three transactions that haven’t appeared on the statement
yet. I’m paying as little interest on those as I can - I’m mean like that.
I then had a look at Project GC. One of the many failings
of geocaching dot com is that it simply isn’t fit for purpose. If all you want
to do is go find a rock under which there might be a film pot, then their app
is about the poorest app with which you might do that. But if you want to look
at the statistics of what you’ve found – most found in a day, furthest apart
finds in a day… then that’s where third party suppliers come in.
I asked Project GC how many geocaches we’d found whilst on
holiday compared to other tourists. With one or two caches every fifty miles or
so we went not intending to do much caching, but if we were walking past one we
thought we’d have a go.
It turns out that we came home the UK’s top finders of
Uzbek caches…
With so much I could have done today I spent the afternoon
washing and tumble-drying undercrackers and socks whilst watching episodes of “Four
in a Bed” in which the contestants had taken to checking out their rivals
on price comparison websites to see if people were deliberately undercharging.
It all got rather nasty and turned out that it is quite legal for third party
to hire a hotel room and then let it on at a higher price.
“er indoors TM” boiled up lamb
chops, and I then slept for much of the evening…
