12 March 2025 (Wednesday) - A Present

I didn’t wake quite as early as I did yesterday, but having laid wide awake in bed for far too long it was half past five when I gave up trying to sleep.
I made toast, watched another episode of “The Other One” and had my usual root around the Internet. It was still there, and rather dull. I did have an email from Octopus Energy though. Everyone raves about how cheap they are and how much of a saving they have made by swapping to them. Yesterday I sent them figures for our energy usage over the last year. This morning they told me they would charge me over four quid a month more than I’m currently paying. So much for making a saving, eh?
 
I munzed, and then set off for work. There was a minor disaster this morning as the co-op had no coronation chicken sandwiches, so I roughed it with ham and cheese. Mind you if that is all I have to whinge about, things can't be that bad.
Yesterday I moaned about a totally incomprehensible speaker on the radio. This morning as I drove, the pundits on the same radio were interviewing someone I can only describe as Ms. Boring. There was talk about banning slushies for under eight-year-olds because of the glycerol in them. Some so-called expert was brought on to explain what glycerol was. Oh, listening to her was so dull. You'd think that people going on live radio would have a trial run beforehand to see if they were up to the job wouldn't you?
 
I got to work, and as I walked in I tried not to laugh out loud. Two elderly people were standing by the entrance to the lift looking at the button (with which you call the lift) as though it were a wild animal. One nervously asked the other if they had ever used a lift before, to which the other one replied that she hadn't.
How do you get to your eighties never having used a lift?
 
Work was work. The lunch of ham and cheese sandwich wasn't at all bad even if it was twenty calories more than the coronation chicken one I'd hoped for. And the meal deal of which it was part was a full one pound fifty cheaper than the meal deal at the works M&S, and the quantities were bigger too.
And we had an emergency. They claim to have them on the telly on "Casualty" - this one was nothing like that. 
As the day went on I had a delivery. A friend from the glory days of geocaching had got in touch. He’d found a load of caching gear and wondered if I wanted it.
Yes please.
 
I came home. “er indoors TM sorted a very good bit of dinner which we scoffed whilst watching “The Great Pottery Throw Down”, and with dinner scoffed I had a look through my box of caching stuff.
I’ve logged the six trackables, and I need to start thinking about what I might do with these caches. I could really have done with them a month ago when I was putting out over a hundred.
