I went to bed with stomach ache last night. It was still
there at four o’clock when I went to the loo (and put washing in to scrub)
and at quarter to seven as I hung the washing out on the line.
I made toast and saw a new geocache had gone live. Less
than a mile away, but with only an hour until we had to be going to Dog Club I
didn’t really have time to go hunt for it. Instead I carried on scoffing my
toast and peering into the Internet. I saw a Facebook friend had a birthday
today. The husband of one of my ex-trainees; I would have said he was in his
mid to late twenties; he was forty-one today. Where do the years go?
Irene had posted up photos from Samarkand. It’s a rather
pretty place.
And then I saw that the First to Find on the new geocache
went less than twenty minutes after I received the email. That was keen. I
could have got it… I’ve already had a First to Find this month though.
I munzed, got Wordle on the third attempt, and got ready
for the off.
There was a minor disaster today as Steve wasn’t on the
radio, and no stand-in had been deployed. There was music and adverts, but no “Guess
the Lyrics” competition as we went to Dog Club.
Dog Club was fun. We probably had about twenty dogs along.
Treacle found a couple of girls who fussed her and she was happy. Morgan watched
the bigger dogs having rough and tumble but didn’t get involved. He did get a
bit boisterous with one of the smaller dogs, but he soon got told off, which is
what he needs.
From Dog Club “er indoors TM” went
straight to craft club. I took the pups home, made myself a cuppa and watched a
bit of telly until I got bored of the telly. I pootled in the garden until “er
indoors TM” came home. We had a lunch of hot cross
buns then I got bored again.
Yesterday I pressure-washed the fence. This afternoon I
painted it until the heat of the day passed, and then we took the dogs for a
walk.
I looked at the geo-map and worked out a little walk that we
might do whilst collecting two geocaches on the way. We drove out to Pennypot
Wood and walked a circular walk of about three miles. It was a rather good walk
which was only marred by Bailey trying to vanish down a rabbit hole – you can
see some photos I took by
clicking here.
We came home where “er indoors TM” boiled
up a very good dinner which we washed down with a bottle of red Cabernet
Sauvignon. Red? I thought the stuff only came in white. The white Cabernet
Sauvignon is generally mildly inferior to vinegar; the red version was possibly
one of the best red wines I’ve ever had. Apparently you can get it in Aldi as
one of their bargain wines for less than three quid.
If anyone fancies a bottle of red wine… or wants to get me
a pressie…
I wonder if it will give me a headache in the morning?
As we scoffed and drank we watched the last episode of the
current season of Doctor Who. It was rather good; such a shame that they’ve
given Ncuti Gatwa the heave-ho. As for his replacement… I won’t give spoilers
but I will say I didn’t see that one coming.
