I went for a tiddle at
3am last night and fell down the stairs. That hurt. Mind you it won't
be long before falls like that will be breaking hips. There's no
denying that the jolt set off the neck injury I sustained when I got
thrown into the river at the weekend - I did spent quite a bit of the
day whinging about backache and neckache.
I had a pleasant surprise
over brekkie - an old school friend had got in touch. He seems well;
and also seems to have retained far more hair than I have done.
"Daddies Little
Angel TM" arrived with Sid, and we took
the dogs for a walk. Today we went out through Newtown and home via
Frog's Island, Asda and McMunchies for a bacon roll. Very tasty. Home
to put washing on to the line, and then Lisa arrived and we went down
to the Romney Marsh. We had planned to go to Camping International
but we thought we'd make a little detour for the chance of a First to
Find as a new geocache had gone live. It was only a round trip of
twenty miles out of our way. We arrived and searched the obvious
target for half an hour to no avail before giving up in disgust. Half
way back to the car we had a stroke of inspiration, went back to
where we had already searched several times and almost immediately
found the hidden cache. And we got First to Find too. We felt very
smug
From here we then went on
with our original plans - to Camping International in Gillingham
where we bought new tent poles and pegs for the mess tent and a
couple of new nozzles for the water barrels. We looked at the
Colesman's event shelters. I'd like to get one for when the current
gazebo finally gives up the ghost; probably next spring.
By now it was mid day and
we were feeling hungry so a spot of McDinner was in order. And as we
were in the area we did a geocache. I say " a geocache"
- it was a multi with four stages. It took us just under an hour to
do and was a work of absolute genius. Even if we had to watch out for
the dene-holes
I was rather pleased with
today's caching. There is a unique e-souvenir given to everyone who
finds a cache on any day this month. I would like to get all thirty
one of theset. So far I have managed a cache on every day of the
month (and consequently the first fourteen e-souvenirs), I
have planned out caching for the rest of the month to ensure I get
all of the souvenirs. But a day like today when I get caches which
weren't on my list is very good as it gives me scope for disaster and
"did not finds" later in the month.
And so home where I
sorted out my undercrackers into their respective pairs. A task which
is tedious to say the least. Whilst I did it I watched an episode of
Blake's Seven. They were all suffering from chronic fatigue. It's a
tough life camping it up in outer space...
