I slept well; last night wasn’t so hot. I made toast – you
can’t beat toast with peanut butter and marmalade (try it!). And I had
my usual peer into the internet. My Facebook feed today was seemingly full of
adverts for old men’s chair yoga. Apparently you can sit on a dining chair and
thrash about and build muscle whilst losing weight. Apparently. All these
adverts took me through ten minutes of preamble before asking for money. I
suppose enough people must stump up the akkers to make it worth the while of
those paying to put up the adverts – I found something free on You-Tube that I
might start (together with the diet re-launch) tomorrow.
I Wordled (gnome on the fourth attempt), Munzed, and
planned a little Munzee expedition. We need to get a lot of a certain sort on
Munzee for this month’s Clan War, and going round the block would get us well
over half-way there. So we went round the block and got over half-way there. As
we went I opened a gold qrate and got a mini squid cubimal as well. Go me.
Seeing we still had time on our hands we drove out to
Charing to hunt down a geocache. The latest geo-Treasures need us to find
rather difficult to find caches which need a special tool to get to the paper
log.
We parked up and walked for half a mile to a bridge over a
sand quarry where we hunted for over half an hour. It was just as I said we
should give it two more minutes that the thing came to light. I was glad it
did. That gave us our first “Tools of the Trade” treasure and we’ve five
more to find. The next closest is in Cranbrook. After that we’ve something of a
mission.
There’s one in Hastings… possibly. It hasn’t been found for
eighteen months.
There’s one in Sittingbourne… possibly. It hasn’t been
found for two years.
The one in Heathfield hasn’t been found for four years.
After that the rest are quite a bit further away.
In a novel break with tradition the weather forecast had
been right; a cloudy morning followed by a sunny afternoon. We’d been right to
go out in the morning. “er indoors TM” boiled up
another rather good ploughman’s lunch, then we had a lazy afternoon in the
garden.
As it cooled I fed the fish then looked at those plants I’d
salvaged from when I’d chopped back the bog filter a few weeks ago. Sadly
nowhere near as many plant had survived as I thought might, but I put the two
that hadn’t totally croaked into floating pots in the big pond and I shall see
if they take. I shall clear the wreckage of what I pulled out of the bog filter
tomorrow. Probably.
I then came inside and solved geo-puzzles in the hope of
getting more of these geo-Treasures. Sadly they are few and far between and
many of them are up trees. And then I struck on the frankly genius idea that if
there’s not many suitable caches available, put some new ones out. So I posted
to the local geo-Facebook page. People might put a few out… five would be nice.
“er indoors TM” boiled up a very
good bit of dinner which we scoffed whilst watching “Canal Boat Diaries”. I
don’t think I’d get on with a canal boat. There’s a very limited amount of
places you can go (i,e, along the canal) and you can’t go very fast.
Mind you I’m thinking more and more about a camper van.
I then spent a little while working on a new geocache which
will allow others to get this new Treasure…
