Another good night’s sleep. Wiith very little
on the itinerary for today I took “Furry Face TM “ down to
Park Farm. We like our walks, and there was geocache maintenance to be done in
the area. About a year ago “The Man with
no Alias (patent pending)” was rather disrespectful to the entire notion of
hunting small plastic boxes with GPS technology and so I hid six of the things
within striking distance of his abode. Like everything in life they need
periodic maintenance and so that was my mission for the morning.
What can I say… We
needed the walk, but it was rather frustrating to find that someone had already
done the maintenance on all of the caches I’d set out to maintain. I’m not
complaining as such; I am only too happy for anyone and everyone to do my cache
maintenance for me. All I would say is that if anyone is going to save me time
by doing this, I wish they would tell me that they’ve done it so I don’t waste
that time going out to do a job that’s already been done for me.
We came home, and
over a cuppa I did the monthly accounts. Oh dear. Over the last few months I’ve
had serious car expenditure and vet bills. Perhaps discovering the ale houses
in Folkestone last month wasn’t a good thing. And last Wednesday’s trip to
Chiquitos was certainly something I won’t be doing again soon.
I wouldn’t say I’m
completely penniless; it’s nothing that cancelling Christmas wouldn’t put
right.
I then did some domestic drudgery. Hoovering
(with a Dyson), washing and even
sewing. I spent half an hour asleep with my dog on my chest, and then spent a
little while reviewing my programming skills (such as they are). Much (all)
of what I know about computer languages is all self-taught. All of what I know
about computers is either self-taught or what I have gleaned from either
watching Chris put the networking back together again or heckling as Jose
repaired the smouldering carcasses of computers that I have broken. So I’ve
decided I am going to remedy that deficiency. Starting In February I am going
to learn all about the
Internet.
Why not learn with me? I’ve done three Coursera courses so far; this one looks
interesting as well. And it’s free, which is a bonus.
With ‘er indoors TM of bowling, me and “Furry Face TM
“ settled down to watch a film. “The Great
Rock n Roll Swindle” isn’t to everyone’s taste. I suppose you had to be
there really. I was - it was quite some time ago now…
