As I scoffed my brekkie this morning er indoors TM" went off for five minutes to move her car. There are parking restrictions between 8am and 6pm. She was gone for (as I said) five minutes, and Fudge sobbed for those five minutes. He was distraught - the dog actually sobbed. It was so sad I nearly cried myself.
As it snowed outside I
then had a look through this blog's archives - last year on Easter
Saturday we went round to friends and had a barbie in the garden. Not
this year. Too cold.
As I pootled on-line I
saw someone had posted on the Kent Geocaching forum asking about the
virtues of hand held GPS units. I am utterly convinced I am missing
something as far as GPS units are concerned. I geocache with a
smartphone. I can download all the caches I want directly to the
phone, and log all the caches from the phone. People using a GPS unit
have to mess about going via a PC because the GPS units don't have
internet connection. Admittedly the GPS units have longer battery
life, but they seem to involve a lot of fiddling around; fiddling
around which is (to my mind) unnecessary. However people with
GPS units think the sun shines out of the GPS unit's USB slot. One of
my geocaching mates posted a long list of advantages of her GPS unit
over my smartphone - to my mind they all seemed to be things I can
actually do faster on my smartphone without needing to upload or
download anything via a PC.
Clearly I am missing
something here. I wish I knew what it was.
Once the blizzard had
stopped we took Furry Face out for a walk. Out through the park and
on to Singleton Lake where we met one of our partners in crime. We
fitted in a sneaky geocache find and then whilst er
indoors TM"
popped into the shops Hurksy swapped his bike for his
dog and we walked out onto the Godinton estate for a little stroll.
And a crafty cache as well. From there we made our way home via a
rather circuitous route through Great Chart and the Environment
centre. It was a good walk, and glorious when the sun came out. But
it was cold.
And so home. The new
series of "Doctor Who" started tonight. The story
wasn't bad. Quite good in fact. I think I liked the fact that the
villain was from the Patrick Troughton era. But I'm sure I would have
liked it with someone else in the lead role. I've seen enough now to
say I don't like Matt Smith's portrayal of the Doctor. Idiot or hero
- which is it to be?
Being both simply isn't
working for me...
