I slept through till
after 7am this morning, and after a spot of brekkie "Daddies
Little Angel TM" arrived with Sid and we
went for a walk. Down through South Ashford to the Environment Centre
and back home via Singleton Lake and the park. The walk was mostly
uneventful, and we only had one "dog episode" when
we encountered some mad woman being dragged about by a death-hound.
This death-hound was on a lead, but was clearly out of control; the
woman with it was shrieking hysterically at anyone who came close
that hey should get away from her death-hound. For some inexplicable
reason she took offence when I suggested the snarling slavering
animal should be muzzled.
Once home I mowed the
lawn and then got out the hedge trimmer and cut back all the
overgrowth from next door's hedgerows. A few years ago I had a good
garden. Now it is just a mess mainly because of all the stuff flowing
over the hedge. Maybe clipping one or two clematis roots might solve
some problems there.
I checked my emails. The
Wherigo cache I hid has been found. It took two days to be found. Two
days - that's unheard of round here.
I then saw red. having
fallen over clutter in the living room for the umpteenth time i put a
pile of tape cassettes into the bin, then got a black sack and just
filled it with the rubbish that litters my world. Other peope live
tidily. Why can't I?
And whilst I was seeing
red my poor little dog got shouted at. He will not stop throwing
himself at the fence and barking at next door's dogs. I finally had
enough of this behaviour, and I bellowed at him for five minutes. He
got the message.
And then on to astro
club. I went via Appledore where I picked up the day's cache. Astro
club was excellent this evening. We had a huge turn-out and really
good talks. An update on things current in outer space, and then a
review of sci-fi and how plausible inter-stellar travel really would
be. Entertaining, educational and thought provoking.
The raffle went well, and
we sold cakes in aid of MacMillan cancer research and made over sixty
quid for them.
The membership have taken
our vision of builing a space centre to heart. Tonight we were
presented with some preliminary design work and also a really good
telecope and mount to auction to raise funds for the project. We'll
have that thing built yet...
