I slept reasonably well I suppose; I seem to be taking
longer and longer to doze off these days though.
I made toast and had a look at the Internet as I do.
Having cleared my Facebook interest lists of all sorts of things that were on
no interest to me, this morning I was presented with suggestions for groups and
interests that were similarly of no interest to me. This AI has got to go a
long way before it is ready to take over the world.
I had quite a few emails this morning. One hundred and
seventeen “Found It” logs from one of the people who were at the
geo-meet in Kings Wood yesterday. Bearing in mind that they started at seven
o’clock yesterday, and one of them was sending me messages about my virtual
cache in Viccie Park at twenty past five yesterday afternoon, that’s an average
rate of just under twelve caches an hour. That’s a bit keen.
The new geocache that “er indoors TM” put
out yesterday had gone live. I decided against chasing the First to Find.
Bearing in mind I knew where it was, that would be cheating.
We got ourselves and the dogs together and wet off up
the A251 to Badlesmere where we met Karl and Tracey. They’d had a flurry of “Needs
Maintenance” logs on their geocaches and were doing a maintenance run, and
we went along for the walk, even if Needs Maintenance” logs wind me up.
A Needs Maintenance” log means there is something wrong with a geocache.
Today there were twenty geocaches all with the same issue; the paper logs that
you sign were getting full. But rather than doing the decent thing and popping
a scrap of paper in each geocache, someone had just put out a load of Needs
Maintenance” logs instead. From their perspective it is a lot less effort,
I suppose. But a walk round Badlesmere is always good.
I wore wellies as we walked as I had been expecting
loads of mud; there wasn’t any. As we walked there were loads of conkers on the
floor; don’t kids play conkers any more? I brought one home to plant. It might
grow into a tree for a big pot in the front garden.
As we walked we found loads of corrugated metal sheets
laid out. I thought there might be snakes or lizards under them so I carefully
had a look under each. No reptiles, but we did find a dormouse.
We had a good walk; a few drops of rain as we scoffed
our picnic but that soon dried up. And we even took a little diversion to find
a geocache too.
After four and a half miles we were back at the cars
which by some strange coincidence were just over the road from the Red Lion in
Badlesmere, so we popped in for a couple of pints and some pork scratchings for
the dogs.
I took a few photos today… and slept much of the
way home.
“er indoors TM” boiled
up sausages and chips which we scoffed whilst watching “Lego Masters: Australia”.
Sadly one of the teams I quite liked got the heave-ho.
I’m thinking of an early night as I’ve got a belly
ache… I’m also thinking of a late night as that way I might stay asleep longer.
Decisions, decisions…
