I was sleeping rather well until the bin men came up
the road at half past six this morning. You never see bin lorries out in the
afternoons, do you? Do they have to start quite so early?
I got up, made toast and prepared “Hannah” for
the day then had a look at the Internet. It was still there. People were all too
quick to show off their ignorance on social media. People usually are. Why do
they do that?
I munzed, wordled, and got we got ready for the off.
It took a surprisingly long time to scrape the ice
from the “er
indoors TM” – mobile, and with ice scraped we
followed a car with a seriously flat tyre to the Repton estate. What with all
the delays from ice and slow cars there was quite the queue at the gate for Dog
Club when we got there. How embarrassing.
But despite the cold day we had a very good Dog Club. The
temperature stayed cold enough to keep the mud frozen, and having two coats on
Bailey meant she didn’t shiver like she had done last week
With Dog Club done we set off for Edenbridge. As we
drove we caught the last part of Steve’s Mystery Year competition on the radio –
Shine by Take That? 2006, or so I thought. It was 2007.
We listened to Steve as we drove up the motorway. And
as we drove Steve gave the lie to anyone who claims the Saturday morning radio
show is pre-recorded. The gizmo which does the music started jumping and
repeating itself. I did chuckle when Steve told listeners to talk amongst
themselves whilst he sorted the issue.
As it does, the radio signal gave out round about
Harrietsham. Heart FM isn’t the same.
We got to Edenbridge where together with Karl and
Tracey we had a little wander round the streets following a smaller geocache
series. There’s plenty of geo-series over that way, but at this time of year
the countryside is one huge swamp. I don’t mind going into the swamps, but we did
have plans to go to the geo-meet after our walk, and there is only so much mud
you can take into a pub.
The geo-meet was rather good. Karl stood us all
dinner; cheeseburger with stilton was rather good. We met up with old friends
we caught up on gossip. The dogs were rather well-behaved. I miss the old geo-meets.
I
took a few photos whilst we were out.
I managed to stay awake for most of the journey home.
We had a pizza for tea and watched another episode of “The Traitors” in
which the contestants were getting particularly stressy with each other. And
then an episode of “Junior Bake Off” – those kids are rather talented.
Today was a rather good one. The dogs have been
snoring ever since we got home.
