Up with the lark, and
having collected the Stanhopians we set off to the farm. Last weekend
we'd left our mess tent up to dry, and it needed putting away. This
morning it was still very damp, so we left it and got on with the
business of the day. We drove up to Sutton Valence where we met up
with the Sevenoaks contingent. Ten of us (and a dog and a push
chair) went on an eight mile circular hike. Woods and shrublands,
hills and vales. A picnic half way round, and C.A. even got an atomic
wedgie and a geo-crack-watch into the bargain. Six hours walking
found us thirty three geocaches, and did blow away a few cobwebs too.
It was good to meet up with Team Wakefield; there are so many people
in my life that I meet up with too infrequently.
Back to the farm to find
the tent was dry, so we got that down and into storage before zooming
home. Once home we had a quick cuppa and a bun and the clans
gathered. We organised ourselves into cars, and set off to Sandgate
where we met Team Hosey. Then (after a quick geocache mission)
I found the off-licence whilst others found the chip shop. And as
darkness fell we watched the fireworks. They were rather good
fireworks.
It was a shame that hey
were all over rather early, so we went back to the Hoseyarium where,
after refreshments, we watched a film. "Rio". A
Disney-Pixar film which was entertaining. And then home. It was late,
and had been a long day, but we decided to watch today's episode of
"Doctor Who", because we just knew that if we didn't
watch it we would be told what happened.
So we watched it. And for
those of my loyal readers, here's what happened..... No; I won't
spoil it. But suffice to say that the episode could have done with a
plot that didn't contradict itself at least once every five minutes.
And having been billed as "every Dalek ever" I must
admit to a degree of disappointment in finding that it was actually
"every Dalek since 2005 except the black one".
To bed at 1am; feeling
rather tired...
