I slept well, but got up reasonably early in the naïve hope
that new geocaches would be going out in honour of today’s geo-meet up. The
chap running the meet is notorious for setting fiendishly difficult puzzles so
I thought I might allow myself some puzzle-solving time.
He didn’t put any out…
I made toast and had a look at Facebook. Some woman with
whom I used to work was on holiday half the world away. She’d taken a pile of
books to read. I can’t understand why people travel so far just to do so
little. If you’ve going to travel why not see where you’ve travelled to? If you
don’t want to travel, just take a week in the back garden (the weather’s
good enough these days). I once worked with someone who had a week in
Mexico every year, but never left the hotel in which she stayed.
People were arguing about whether a Facebook group called “Kids
of the 70s” was for people who were children in the 1970s or people who
were born in the 1970s. Some people really will argue about anything… and then
someone had claimed to be a Facebook friend of Freddie “Parrot Face” Davies.. oh, that
kicked off.
And it would seem we missed the Pirates Day in Hastings (again!)
this weekend.
Meanwhile my cousin who is into swimming and paddleboarding
in the sea off of the Sussex coast has found herself a nemesis. Superman has
Lex Luthor, Batman has the Joker. My cousin has The Huge Titted Woman.
Apparently The Huge Titted Woman has already fallen foul of the lifeguards.
I Munzed, got Worldle on the fifth attempt (blank), and
had a go at my twenty minute chair workout. I then needed a little rest before
a dunk in the shower. “er indoors TM” went
shopping, and I pored over the geo-map. I’ve located one geocache in the
Cranbrook area that would do for the latest Treasures thingy… but I can’t see
anywhere sensible where we might park the car.
“er indoors TM” returned from
shopping. She’d got some bargain grapefruits. Aldi had been knocking them out
at twenty-nine pence a go. Is that cheap? I’ve not bought a grapefruit for
years.
We got into the car and drove down to Dungeness for the monthly
geo-meet where we all met up at the Pilot. The morning’s drizzle held off for a
little, but the rain got a tad heavy so we retreated inside. The rain didn’t
last long, but we were quite happy where we were. We’ve been to dog-friendly
places before, but so many places aren’t so much “dog friendly” as “dog
tolerant”. The Pilot was really “dog friendly” with at least one dog
at every table. I bought some scampi fries and shared them with our dogs and many
of the other dogs in the pub. And I bought some whitebait which our dogs loved.
The other dogs didn’t get that.
The rain didn’t last that long; it was really good to catch
up with friends.
We came home and I fell asleep. More beer than sense does that.
I woke to find “Daddies’ Little Angel TM”
and Pogo were in attendance. They boiled up dinner. It was rather good…
And following on from yesterday’s rant today was forecast
to be thunderstorms all day long with formal weather warnings from the Met Office…
we had a little drizze in the morning and quarter of an hour of rain at mid-day…
