I had a surprisingly good night’s sleep last
night. A quick spot of brekkie and I took my dog for a walk. Whilst we were out
I hid a geocache. Having seen some rather clever caches here and there I
thought I’d do something not entirely dissimilar. It was a shame that it
started raining whilst we were out. We did get rather soaked.
Having put up with “Furry Face TM
“ barking at every form of transport known to man my patience was wearing thin.
It was when he barked at a mobility scooter that I shouted at him. Rather
forcefully. That made him jump; but I think it did the trick. A few minutes
later he started to bark at a passing milk float and stopped himself in mid-bark
and turned to me with a rather sheepish expression.
We came home and dried out, and then I went
down the road to the dentist for my gob’s semi-annual service. Nothing needed
doing, and I am not due back with the fangquack until next May; which is good.
Whilst out I went on to Musgrove medical practice and filled out all the forms
to transfer to them from my current surgery. I came home via the bakers shop
with a Belgian bun for lunch.
I then spent a couple of hours doing the
ironing whilst watching
a favourite film of mine.I do like that film; but I have to watch it whilst
doing something (like ironing) or I fall asleep. And then with laundry done I
went into the garden. There is a load of work to be done out there, but just as
I went out it started raining, so I contented myself with just turning off the
pond’s pumps for the winter. Re-shingling and lawn mowing will have to wait.
I received an email. That really clever
geocache on which I’ve spent several days preparing had been turned down. I
won’t say why; suffice it to say that it got the thumbs-down, but two other
caches identical in the crucial respect were recently allowed. I asked the reviewer
why my one was turned down whilst these others weren’t and the reply was
interesting (if somewhat rude). I was
told that acceptance of one cache hide does not mean that others of the same
ilk might necessarily be accepted. And I was given a link I might use to appeal
his decision.
I have appealed, but the establishment sided
with the reviewer. It always does. My gut reaction was to formally apologise
for giving my time and effort to help their company to make money..
The original plan for the evening was astro
club committee, but I had forgotten a special birthday, so instead we went
round to Chiquito’s for Lacey’s birthday meal. Lacey enjoyed herself which was
the main thing. Personally I thought it was overpriced; I would have preferred
McDonalds, but Lacey wanted Chiquitos…
