3 August 2025 (Sunday) - A Lazy Day

Overnight I’d had a stroke of genius about how I might solve that puzzle geocache that has been troubling me all week. I fiddled about a bit doing some sums, typed my answer into the checker… and it told me that was the one hundred and fifth wrong answer that it had seen.
I had a little look into Facebook. A friend had been to a wedding, another friend had been to some big event in Chester, some were on their way home from holidays. People had been posting pictures of what they had been doing; as a very nosey person I like that. And I had seemingly endless adverts for massively overprices shirts. What’s prompted that?
 
I Munzed; the monthly Munzee Clan War started this morning. This month we need Widdle points… I have no idea how to get them, or even what a Widdle point is. But I expect we’ll find out. And with a few moments spare I went into the garden and hacked back the overgrowth pouring over the fence from not-so-nice-next-door. I’d not done that for a while, and when setting up for yesterday’s garden party I saw their bushes were almost half way across our garden. Back in the day when the husband was still there he seemed to think there was nothing wrong with that, and he felt I should be grateful for it as that would deter burglars(!)
 
We took the dogs down to the Romney Marsh for a little walk. There’s one particular geocache on its own a mile from the road which is supposedly a tad tricky to find. We parked up, walked the mile, spent an hour and a half searching… and walked back to the car. Either it’s not there or we can’t find it. I suspect it is there… Mainly because someone found it after we came home.
As we came back to the car we walked along the military canal where a particularly delightful family was having a swim. One of the younger ones had climbed up to the road bridge and was preparing to jump into the canal from the bridge… I didn’t want to get involved; perhaps I was being judgemental but they didn’t look like they would take advice.
Bearing in mind the canal is at best six feet deep I wonder if his leg bones survived?
 
We came home and had a bit of lunch. I wrote up some CPD and fell asleep for over an hour. I *really* hate that. When I want to be awake I’m snoring. And at four o’clock tomorrow morning I shall be wide awake.
 
“er indoors TM boiled up a rather good bit of dinner, and with that scoffed we went out to Chilham village square where a Dutch chap who was holidaying in the nearby hotel had organised a geo-meet. Half a dozen of us sat in the evening sunshine and chatted about out little hobby…
