It turned out that the world didn't end today after all. Which was probably for the best. After a quick spot of brekkie the Folkestonians arrived. I then did the run to drop people off at work because everyone else was off on the beer this afternoon.
I came home, and ably
assisted by "Daddies Little Angel TM"
we tidied the living room. It took a Herculean effort, and we tidied
one room at the expense of another by merely lugging all the clutter
upstairs. But we got there. Whilst at it we found all sorts of stuff,
including a bag of pressies bought for last Christmas. For want of
anything better to do, we then took a carfull of cardboard for
recycling, then took the dogs for a little stroll. And then the dogs
covered "Daddies Little Angel TM"
in mud, so we came home to wash the dogs and "Daddies Little
Angel TM"'s clothes.
A cup of coffee, and we
tidied some more. It's amazing how much tidying one can do with a bit
of assistance. And then hoovering. Fragments of what I can only
describe as "dog-related wreckage" were everywhere.
Once I'd got to the point
of being able to tidy no more Lisa called, and I popped out for half
an hour's working on a puzzle geocache. I have been criticised in the
past for putting out caches which are seen to be too easy. This one
was frankly impossible. We gave up trying to figure out a fourteen
figure key combination with absolutely no clue after half an hour's
effort. We had some ideas, but none were successful. I shall keep
thinking.
Home again, into my glad
rags, and the Bat arrived and drove us into town. To Wetherspoons
where we met the Rear Admiral, and after a pint of the plum porter we
made our way to the Chippery. I'd brewed some ale for the gathering.
It went down very well with everyone else, but for myself I didn't
like it very much: too fruity. Sam had done an excellent spread, and
whilst I didn't drink that much, I certainly ate too much. An
excellent evening with friends; we finally staggered home shortly
after 1am, when we then did battle with a turkey...
