I had a bit of a lie-in and had my morning’s perusal of the
Internet at half past nine. Over four and half hours previously my brother had
got up to set off to Nottingham to watch the football. He must love it. A group
of local (ish) geocachers were posting to Facebook from Gatwick airport
– they were off to Dublin.
And there was on-line mention of the Museum of the Moving
Image in London. I went there many years ago and had a really
good day out… apparently it closed over twenty-five years ago.
I Munzed, It wasn’t money, it wasn’t mardy. Mucky was a bit
closer. It was muggy.
We got the dogs on to their leads and took them out. Sadly
I forgot that from now until Christmas I really need to avoid the roads by the
MacArthur Glen outlet centre. It didn’t take *that* long to get out of
the traffic jam, but it did take a while to take a circuitous route to get out
of Ashford. We drove to Ham Street where we found a puzzle geocache that I’d
solved a few weeks ago, and we got a virtual Chihuahua for our troubles.
We drove on to Rye where we had a little circular walk
gathering more virtual dog figurines. We got a Yorkshire Terrier, a Papillon
and a Pomeranian and completed the set. From there we drove up to Tenterden
where there was a little al-fresco geo-meet going on. It was good to catch up
with friends old and new. And it was rather sad to say goodbye to our new
friend Billy who had organized the meet. He’s now off to Cornwall for three
weeks, then he’s spending the winter in Portugal before going back home to
Canada. Safe travels Billy…
We took advent calendars round to the first fruit of my
loins, then came home for a cuppa. Having found all the virtual dog figurines
and virtual film festival tickets, the next virtual geo-things to find are
origami animals (there’s never a dull moment in geocaching!). However
there are fourteen of these things to find, and they are rather few and far
between. I spent a few minutes planning some little adventures to go find those
ones.
“Daddies’ Little Angel TM” and Pogo
came for a little sleepover. We had a rather good Shepherd’s pie for dinner and
followed it up with Tesco hot
chocolate fudge cake. Have you ever had a Tesco hot chocolate fudge cake?
It was possibly the worst dessert I have ever had…
Such a shame.
And it is the end of the month. The frankly dreadful mutton
chop have raised three hundred and fifty-two quid. Having raised over three
hundred quid I apparently get a free pair of socks from them. Personally I’d
rather they spent the money on the charity, but they’ve clearly already bought
the socks.
I think the fundraiser remains open for a few more days,
but for one last time…
