A rather restless night
was spent mostly prodding er indoors TM"
to stop her snoring. I eventually gave up the battle and had a
slightly earlier brekkie than I might have done. And after spending
an entertaining five minutes duffing up Furry Face I took him round
the park for a walk. We met many of the usual dog walkers. The Irish
chap was there and we had quite a chat. "Orangehead"
was there (looking more like Ronald McDonald every day) with
her chunky little friend. And their dogs. And Fudge was off the lead
and (mostly) behaving himself; coming back (eventually)
when called.
We carried on with our
walk and a little later encountered "Orangehead"
(without her chunky little friend) as we were walking across
the co-op field. Fudge ran up to her dog, and "Orangehead"
promptly started giving Fudge dog treats. I wish people wouldn't do
that; it only makes him not want to come back to me.
I then drove round to the
garage to collect er indoors TM" who
had left her car to get fixed. And once changed we set off to the
Hare and Hounds. Ashford was hosting the monthly gathering of
geocachers. Once a month we all meet up and chat about the latest
developments in hiding tupperware. It was really good to meet up with
friends old and new. There was a new lady from Chartham who was
introduced to me (because I have some caches in Canterbury).
We got chatting - she was really new to the game, and she got a lot
from chatting to the old hands. We had a couple of pints and a cheese
ploughmans, and then my phone beeped. Twelve new caches had gone live
in honour of the event, and so people set off in various directions
in various groups. I walked along with people I've not walked with
much before. But it's always good to walk with like-minded friends.
We had a really good day on what must have been the finest afternoon
so far this year. And Lisa had made cake too.
We walked for a couple of
hours, and then came back to the pub where we chatted for a little
before making our way home. A quick cuppa, a quick game of tug o'
war with the dog, a change of shirt, and off out to a birthday party.
Loads of us gathered to
celebrate Steve's birthday, and we tried my second attempt at making
mild. It wasn't a bad drop. From what I can remember...
