Yesterday I scrambled up
a tree in order to chase a geocache. I think I must have strained
something when I did that as my side felt very bruised and painful
this morning.
Over brekkie I watched an
episode of "Saxondale" and I combed my dog. "Furry
Face TM" likes being combed, and whenever
I stopped combing he would whinge until I started again. I kept
combing whilst watching Challenge TV. "Fun House"
and "The Crystal Maze" were both entertaining, and
passed the time until the washing machine stopped.
With washing on the line
I went to play Ingress.... erm.... I took my dog for a walk. OK - so
I played Ingress as we went. I established control over much of the
area between home and the International station, and I've taken over
the portal outside Chippy's house. Mind you an enemy portal outside
the Stour Centre did take a pot shot at me as I walked past.
I had a lot of messages
via the Ingress app overnight... "MooseofDestiny"
had been attacking me (!) I can see this silly game taking up
a lot of my time; it's just as well I walk round Ashford for at least
an hour every day.
I came home, had a quick
cuppa, and set off to the family meal a little earlier than I needeed
to. The meal was in Kennington; only a mile from where a new geocache
had gone live. I chased the new cache, got First to Find; did the
happy dance and the secret geo-ritual, and then went on to the
Kennington
Carvery for Cheryl's birthday dinner. I'd never been there
before. I shall certainly be going back. Four roast meats, eight
vegetables, cauliflower cheese and parsnips. All you can eat; and if
you can't get all you can eat on your plate you can go back. And all
for a tenner.
Twenty of us sat down for
a scoff; and what a scoff it was.
We had a lovely meal,
said our goodbyes and went down to Folkestone where we found "Daddies
Little Angel TM". I spent a few minutes
winding up Charlie and then we went down to the Coastal Park where we
met Jose.
Alice
in the Coastal Park was intended to be a live-action Alice in
Wonderland re-enactment. We went to last year's production and it was
really good fun. As we arrived at the coastal park the heavy rain
started. Literally hundreds of people were hurrying out of the park,
and as we too hurried away so the rain became torrential and in ten
seconds I went from being a bit damp to being soaked.
We retreated back to the
maisonette where I dried out whilst asleep in front of episodes of
Bear Grylls on the telly. A great shame - I'd been looking forward to
this for months.
On the way home we
stopped off to try to find a geocache. It went live on Friday. No one
had yet found it. We didn't either.
We also stopped of at
McDonalds. Still stuffed from the lunchtime carvery we didn't fancy
anything for tea, but a McFlurry might just hit the spot. It did.
Once home "er
indoors TM" set off bowling. I took "Furry
Face TM" off to South Willesborough where,
feeling flushed with success after woofing at a cat, he nearly got
involved in an altercation with a goat. He was playing his games, and
I was playing mine. I captured four more portals for the Enlightened
faction. Mind you whilst I had been out and about today some cheeky
devil had liberated the area between home and the International
station which I had captured this morning.
Talking of which...
yesterday I finished by saying that Lisa was off on a mission of her
own to attack something blue which was six hundred metres away. I've
not heard from her since. I wonder if she's OK...
