I had a rather good night’s sleep, which was something of a
result. I got up and saw that my weight had gone up over the weekend, which
wasn’t so good.
I made toast and peered into the internet as I do every
morning. It was still there. Not much had happened over the weekend, or so it
would seem by looking at Facebook. I’m sure people still do stuff; it’s just
that fewer people tell the world what they’ve done.
But I did chuckle when I read the posts from just up the
road in Harrietsham. The local council there has been given permission from the
Reform UK Kent County Council to put up the street lights for
Christmas…provided all the flags come down first (for
safety reasons).
That’s ironic, isn’t it?
I saw a new puzzle geocache had gone live near work; I had
a look at it, and after a few minutes saw what the puzzle was all about.
Shortly after that I had which looked to be a plausible location for the thing.
If I was working today that would have been a little adventure before work, but
I wasn’t working and so it wasn’t.
I Munzed; the Munzee Clan War started today, and got Wordle
(awoke) on the fifth attempt.
Pogo arrived, and he came out with me and the other three.
We drove down to Orlestone. As we drove the pundits on the radio were talking
about the spread of unlicensed ultrasound scanning. For all
that there is supposedly strict control on just who can claim they are
competent to perform ultrasound scans, it would seem that more and more people
are just buying a scanner and having a go, and a gullible public is quite happy
to pay them.
And there was talk of “Paddington – The Musical”. I suppose
a musical featuring a known money-spinner is a better bet than something new
and original (or am I just being cynical?).
We got to the woods. Last week I was amazed at how
Orlestone wasn’t the swamp that it usually is in the winter… today it was. The
lowest stretches were filthy, but we all had a good walk. Orlestone is ideal
for a shorter walk; such a shame that it can be so muddy.
We came home and everyone had to have the mud hosed off of
their bellies, then I made a start cleaning the fish tank until “Daddies’
Little Angel TM” was ready to go home. I drove her and Pogo
home, then finished scrubbing the fish tank. One of the little fish isn’t
looking too healthy but I decided (was told!) not to flush him just yet.
We had a cuppa, I wrote up some CPD, then
seeing the rain had stopped we took the dogs for a little walk. We drove out to
Hawkhurst. As we drove so the rain came and went, but it held off for our walk.
There was an Adventure Lab series around the village green, and it made for a
good little walk. We called in to the village school, the fire beacon, the
cricket ground, the church and a house which was once the home of the son of
the fellow who discovered the planet Uranus.
It was a good walk…
We came home and had a cuppa and a chocolate croissant as a
late lunch. I scoffed it as I did another YouGov survey, then had a little
doze.
“er indoors TM” went bowling; I
settled on the sofa with a sleeping Morgan (the girls snored on the other
sofa) and watched a
film on Netflix. “Atlas” starred Jennifer Lopez as some hard-ass woman
saving the world from killer robots intent on wiping out humanity. It wasn’t a
bad film, but like most films it went on for probably at least half an hour too
long.
And don’t forget that there’s still time to give a bung for
this annoying MoVember thing…
