A late finish at work
last night made for a rather late night. But I was wide awake at 5am.
With not a lot else going on I thought I'd have my morning shave and
then see if I could get back to sleep again afterwards. Shaving was
easy enough but in the meantime Fudge had sneaked upstairs. Fighting
him for bed space took some doing.
I eventually got up
shortly before 7am. As I opened the curtains I saw Martin going up
the road. I wonder what he was up to so early in the morning. I had
some brekkie and took Furry Face for a walk. Up the road to Bowens
Field, round the park and home again. The walk was relatively
uneventful. Fudge was allowed off his lead; he came back when called,
and only once tried to roll in anything disgusting.
Whilst we were out we met
"Orangehead" who iis looking more and more like
Ronald McDonald's mother on a daily basis. Today she was without her
chunky little friend but had another associate, which was probably
nice for her.
With Fudge walked we
collected the team and set off to Wrotham for the monthly county
geocacher's get-together. On the way we found a cache we missed when
we were last in the area (6th January), bet despite this
stopping off we were soon at the meet. The meet was in a pub that
we'd walked past back in January. With four ales on the hand pump I
was settled for the day. Mind you the pub was rather odd. On the one
hand there was us; poised ready to go up hill and down dale. On the
other hand was a wedding party in their best finery. None of whom
were especially quiet. I pitied the poor normal people who were stuck
in the middle trying for a quiet meal.
We had a rather good
plate of pie and mash and met up with people who I now regard as good
friends even though I've known them for less than a year. We chatted
for a while, and then set off for a gentle stroll around the local
woods finding caches which had been set in honour of the day.
Traditional sandwich box caches, tiny magnetic ones, rather larger
ones, letterbox hybrids, we miscalculated the multi, and we even did
the sums based on the Wacky Races, We walked for a couple of hours
and came back to the pub for another crafty half before saying
goodbye to everyone.
We came home via
something unusual - an Earthcache. I'd not done one of these before.
It was in many ways a geology lesson. But it gave us six different
types of geocaches found in one day. My record for different types so
far was four in one day.
And so home. As er
indoors TM" set off to watch films I
settled down with my dog. He'd been left alone quite long enough
today. Not that he was bothered. He slept most of the time whilst I
watched "Defiance" on the SkyPlus box. And there's
no denying that I slept quite a bit too...
