Having anaesthetised
myself with a gutful of ale last night I was hoping for a good night’s sleep. I
would probably have managed it if a small dog hadn’t decided to fetch his bone
up to my bed last night, sit on my legs and start chewing it.
It wasn’t his bone-gnawing
that woke me; it was ‘er indoors TM sending him packing that did.
The weather forecast for today had progressively got worse all week;
and today looked as though it was going to be a wet one. So we had a dilemma.
Do we stay in and sulk that we hadn’t gone for a walk, or do we go out and sulk
that we were wet.
We decided to go out.
Three of us and two small dogs drove out to Bekesbourne to do the “Bug
Hunt” series of geocaches. Most were there, some need a little bit of
maintenance. One was completely missing. The walk was a good one; it took us
right through the middle of Howletts Zoo. We saw river hogs and elephants. It
was a shame that the weather was against us; we might have seen tigers given
better weather.
It was muddy in parts; very muddy. The first part of our walk featured
a footpath which had been formally closed by the council because of the floods
(we walked it anyway). And the day was cold and wet. We started off with
two small dogs; by the end of the walk they looked like sea-lions. We were
finished within three hours; normally we would have found somewhere else to
carry on walking; today we just came home to get warm and dry.
I took a few photos whilst we were out.
Once home I realised a mistake I’d made. A
couple of weeks ago we’d had “Stargazing
Live” with the astro club. Today I was told I’d not paid the hall hire
costs. Woops. I’d written out the cheque and had it signed. The cheque was
dated from over two weeks ago. I just forgot all about it.
And with ‘er
indoors TM off out with her mates I sat with my dog in front of
the telly and dozed. I wish I could sleep when I am supposed to do so…
