The GP never did
phone back about that referral to the sleep clinic yesterday. I remembered that
as I was lying awake shortly after 4am this morning.
After brekkie I
took “Furry Face TM “ round
the park for a walk. He liked that; and so did I; this morning’s walk was
rather uneventful apart from one minor episode. Some rather odd woman had lost
the dog she was looking after for a friend. She had this idea that if all the
dogs in the park could be gathered together her missing mutt would feel left
out and try to join in. Together with the more seasoned dog walkers in the park
I know the main ingredient for a dog fight (lots of dogs) and no one was
very keen to join in. I left other dog walkers dealing with the stressy fit
that ensued from the newby dog-sitter.
Once home we
settled the pup down to sleep, and we drove to Rye. A while back I’d won a meal
for two at Marino’s in Rye, and today we thought we’d take advantage of the
offer as we often go out for a meal on this day every year. Can’t imagine why….
There was a minor
embarrassment in the restaurant when firstly the waiter claimed that the (undated)
voucher had expired and then secondly when the proprietor of the place claimed that
the voucher was nothing to do with them; they had never issued the thing.
Fortunately they honoured it, and we had a rather good bit of fish and chips.
It wouldn’t have been that serious if they hadn’t honoured it; it’s not as
though I can’t afford a bag of chips but…
I’d won the
voucher in the astro club’s raffle. (As well as hawking it I take part too).
I wouldn’t have minded if I had ended up with an iffy voucher, but I would have
been mortified had one of the punters been faced with a worthless voucher.
Obviously the astro club would have reimbursed them for any costs, but would we
have been liable for anything else? Could we as a club have been sued for the
embarrassment of having presented a duff voucher?
I shall have to
take advice.
Whilst in Rye we played Munzee. There are loads of Munzees in Rye; I
got First to Find on three; ‘er indoors TM FTF’ed
four. All of these had been hidden last June. Compare that to geocaches which
are usually found within a couple of hours of going live.
And talking of geocaches we found a few of those too.
As it was on our way home (sort of) we came home via Peasmarsh
to see if we couldn’t find two geocaches we couldn’t find two weeks ago. We
found both. One was tricky; two weeks ago three of us were in GPS agreement to
within a couple of feet as to where the thing was hidden and we couldn’t find
it. Today my GPS (with the same co-ordinates) took me somewhere twenty
yards away on the other side of the road and I found the cache in less than a
minute.
The other one was odd. We logged we couldn’t find it. The chap who’d
hidden it went out and declared it was lost and put out a replacement. We then
found the original.
And so home. After filling up with fish and chips at mid day we weren’t
hungry, so I slept in front of the telly whilst ‘er indoors TM started preparing party food for tomorrow.
There’s a party
tomorrow apparently…
