Over brekkie I saw that a
cousin was selling
his old toilet on eBay. I can't help but wonder what sort of
person would buy a second-hand toilet from eBay, but I suppose if it
sells it will have made him a few more pennies.
I took "Furry
Face TM" round to the park for our morning
constitutional. on the way he fought with a bulldog, did surprisingly
well in a race with a greyhound, and found (and subsequently lost)
a lilac golf ball. He also seemed to have developed dire rear
overnight. Either that bone I got him yesterday has disagreed with
him, or I wasn't quick enough in getting the dead mouse from him last
night.
As we walked I checked on
the location in which I plan to hide a geocache. It was still fenced
off. It looks like those fences will be there for some time. All that
work programming a Wherigo... I shall have to have a re-think.
Being on a late start I
had time on my hands so I went and did a little geocaching before
work. It passes the time... or so I thought.
I found both my targets.
One was in a clump of stinging nettles; one was in a tree thick with
hawthorn brambles. I spent much of the rest of the day worrying at
itches and scratches.
From there I did a spot
of shopping. I went to the Canterbury branch of Pets at Home where I
got a seriously chunky ball that "Furry Face TM"
shouldn't be able to eat in a hurry. I was going to get another ball
chucker from them (as a back-up) with which to propel his new
ball. But the pet shop charge three quid for those things; the
cheapo-bargain shop sells them for seventy five pence.
I then went on to the
cheapo-bargains shop. There was little of note in the shop; but the
tills were interesting. They had a "trainee fit bird"
(patent pending) learning how to work the till. "Fittie"
was operating the till; four young spotty chavs were supervising her.
They weren't *quite* drooling, but it was rather pathetic to watch.
And so to work where I
had quite a busy day. My lunch time sax practice went relatively
well. I have solved the problem of my sheet music blowing in the
wind; I've deployed a paper clip. My "tiddly-om-pom-pom"s
are still somewhat lacklustre, but they are improving. Mind you I am
rather pleased with my rendition of "The Teddy Bear's Picnic"
which has speeded up somewhat.
I phoned to chase up
about my forthcoming operation. Apparently there is a delay because
of my "cardiac history". I didn't know I had
one.....
