I woke feeling rather
depressed today. After a day which was frankly wasted sheltering from
the rain yesterday I wasn't happy to wake to the sound of torrential
rain this morning. And I think that despite yesterday's blog I have
got a cold after all.
A quick bit of brekkie,
and having seen that the rain had stopped I took Fudge for a quick
walk round the block. He seemed to like it, and we filled three poo
bags on the way. Better out that in, I suppose. I spent a little
while mucking about with Facebook games, then went round to see Matt.
We set off, and after ten
minutes went back to Matt's house to collect his phone. And then we
set off properly. We thought we'd spend a couple of hours geocaching.
First of all to one which was somewhat off the beaten track and was
(possibly) actually on private land. I'm not sure whether it
was or not, but having to clamber over a fence did give me that idea.
It didn't help that my geocompass seemed to have gone west to the
tune of being out by twelve kilometres.
Into Kennington where we
did a church micro and a quick cache in the garden of remembrance.
And then the heavens opened. We got soaked. I used my phone to call
up the weather forecast which proclaimed that the day was being
"partly sunny"! We waited for a break in the rain
before making our way back home via Brockington Farmhouse. And then
the sun did come out, and dried us out.
Home via Argos (for a
birthday present), and having collected the pup we wandered round
to see "My Boy TM" who was twenty
five today. Twenty five!! Where have the years gone. He's now
officially old as he is now more than half my age, He didn't like
that.
Being Tuesday the clans
gathered. Tonight we watched the first episode of "Merlin".
It was actually rather good. Whether it keeps up the standard remains
to be seen...
