For some reason my Facebook feed this morning was filled
with stuff about Jeremy Clarkson. There’s lots of people who love his shows;
I’m not one of them. I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in his antics. So
why was I told about him, his car-related shows, his farm, his pub, the bloke
who works with him, and some girl who joined his show only to leave?
And there were two new geocaches locally… which showed me a
problem in my in-box. The emails telling me about them weren’t in my in-box at
twenty to eight. But at ten to eight they were, and were timed at half past
seven. So what is the time of the email all about? It clearly isn’t the time
that I get it.
I Munzee-ed and in getting over a thousand points I was
awarded ten Zeds. Zeds is a crypto-currency used in Munzee and is worth about
seven pence, so that was a result. I got Wordle on the fourth attempt (idiom),
and then my phone beeped to tell me that someone had attempted to scam me
yesterday, and that I’d been in touch with the bank about it.
I took the dogs up to the woods. We went there yesterday to
replace a missing geocache; today we went to replace a broken one. The thing
was where I’d left in back in February, and it was broken. I put out a new one,
and we carried on with our walk. We walked ninety per cent of the walk we did
yesterday in the hope of finding Bailey’s lead. We didn’t. But I did detect a
woodpecker with my birdsong app. Bailey detected something foul and had to be
bathed when we got home.
“Daddies’ Little Angel TM” had been staying
for the night. I drove her home, and as I came back I listened to the new album
from Sparks that I had downloaded. Despite it being #1 in the charts, it was
something of a disappointment. I’ve always considered myself to be a fan of
Sparks, but in retrospect they released three very good albums in 1974-75, and
after a little lapse there were another three good ones in 1981 – 83. I can’t
say I’ve liked any of their albums since “Plagiarism” in 1997. I suppose
that they are going to change their stye over time… I just hanker for the good
old days.
I scoffed a hot cross bun for dinner, then had a look in
the garden. Before thinking about painting the fence I really needed to shift
the green lichen, so I spent an hour zapping the fence with the little pressure
washer until the battery went flat.
I then made a cuppa and spent a while looking at
geo-puzzles. I solved two…
“er indoors TM” sorted dinner then
went off out on the razz with her mates. I settled on the sofa with the dogs
and watched “Orange is the New Black” and scoffed a bag of peanuts which
went out of date a month ago.
I’ve got guts ache now…
