I slept well despite the heat, and woke to the sound of
distant thunder at six o’clock. I then lay awake for a couple of hours before
finally conceding that I wasn’t going to get back to kip.
I got up and had a look at the pond. The water lever was
fine, but it had rained overnight. The event shelter I’d put up yesterday was
wet, and I saw that I’d left the shed door open overnight. Woops. Oh well… it
would soon dry out.
By the time I’d had a shave and emptied the dishwasher and
made toast it was nine o’clock. The time at which we’d originally planned to
meet up for the start of a rather epic geocaching walk seventy miles away in
Essex. We’d been planning this walk for some time, but the forecasted heatwave
had me worried. A few days ago I messaged the event’s group chat and said that
it was too hot for the dogs and we’d be pulling out. Within a few hours pretty
much everyone else pulled out too.
We’re looking to try again in September.
There wasn’t much happening on-line, but I saw a new series
of geocaches had gone live in the Edenbridge area, so I spent a little while
solving those puzzles I could from home. Some are ones for which you can’t get
the required information from Google Street View, which was a nuisance.
I munzed and got Wordle on the fourth attempt. Thrum. What
a stupid word. I wrote up some CPD, then
swapped a few messages with Gordon who was running on free electricity. We have
the same leccie company - apparently if you go in their app and tell it that
you are using leccie at non-peak times, then it gives you free leccie on a
Sunday morning. The trouble is that you need to go on the app… I already have
far too many apps which I never use. I wonder how many other bargains there are
to which I am totally oblivious.
I pootled in the garden a little… but it was too hot. I
played the bots at chess, and it wasn’t long before friends arrived, and we had
a rather good afternoon sitting in the garden drinking beer, feeding crisps to
the dogs and putting the world to rights.
Sometimes a lazy day is what I need…
