I had another restless night. I blame the KFC we had last
night – I’m always incredibly thirsty for a day or so after having any of that
stuff. I gave up trying to sleep and got up. Bailey soon followed me and wanted
to go out. She went and started eating grass, then as I scoffed toast she sat
on the sofa farting and periodically whimpering. She’s only herself to blame;
she will eat crap (figuratively and literally) but you can’t explain
that to a small dog.
I put a load of washing in to scrub, and as I scoffed toast
I saw some Facebook friends had birthdays today. A distant relative in Canada,
a fellow hunter of Tupperware, and two colleagues. One of those colleagues was
doing a sponsored run today to raise money for stroke charities; another
colleague had a massive stroke a few months ago. Only thirty years old and in
good health, one day this lady didn’t show up for work and wasn’t answering her
phone. Colleagues popped round to her house and found her in bed unable to
move. Strokes can happen to anyone; not just the old and infirm.
I saw there was a new geocache about twenty minutes’ drive
away. A follow hunter of Tupperware had already found it. From what I could see
on-line he’d had the same notification that I’d had, run out of the door and
driven like a thing possessed, managed to park and find the thing all in less
than half an hour.
I munzed and started off on Wordle with “spicy” to
find that only the middle letter was correct, but that was in the wrong place.
“Field” gave me two correct letters, and both in the right place. And
then I was stuck.
Eventually I hit on “villa” - go me.
I went into the garden and got busy. I hung the washing
out, then painted up the cover I’d built for the little pond. Then emptied out
the garden lock-up, and re-packed it. I painted the stand from which the bird
feeder hangs. I emptied the shed and tidied up, I had this idea to make some
order out of the place. I found so many identical drill bits. Having used one
I’d put it in some random place in the shed, lost it and then bought another. I
found about a dozen new and unused paint brushes. And jubilee clips – I found
half a dozen packets of the things.
I loaded a bootful of rubbish into the back of the car, and booked a tip slot for
the morning,
We then took littlun to the park. Whilst her and her mother
made new friends at the play park, “er indoors TM” and
I sparked up our Munzee apps and went on a virtual shooting star hunt.
We came home for a cuppa, and I saw something sad on
Facebook. A chap I’ve known for ten years has quite serious cancer. He’d like
to go panning for gold to get enough to make wedding rings for his daughters
before he dies… there’s a fundraiser to try to help him do this. You can donate by clicking here.
“er indoors TM” boiled us up some
pork chops with all the rest of a roast dinner. Littlun ate most of hers apart
from that which she declared was “gross”.
My face is glowing; I caught the sun today. And I’ve got
backache. Again.
