I am reliably informed
that "Furry Face TM" spent much of
the night at the foot of the bed fidgeting restlessly. He didn't
disturb me; I slept right through his scritching. My dog shared my
toast, and then we went for a little walk. Down through Park Farm,
out through the fields at the far end along to South Willesborough
and home through Newtown. For those of my loyal readers who don't
know the area very well it took us about three hours.
As we went through Park
Farm I did a little checking on some of my geocaches. Most seemed all
right; one had gone missing. The one which had gone missing hasn't
had any logs of any sort for over a year. I don't think people can be
bothered with the Park Farm Pootle Bonus, so I have archived it.
As we came up into
Newtown I activated my Ingress app; there are no portals of any sort
in Park Farm. But I was able to thwart the evil machinations of the
blue scum as we got closer to home. Much as I do like geocaching,
playing Ingress is a much more dynamic thing to do, even if it does
eat up my data allowance.
Once home I went to put
the washing on the line, and realised that I hadn't put it in the
machine before we went out. Woops. So I set the sheets to be scrubbed
and uploaded a little video I'd taken whilst we were out. As we were
approaching the "three miles done" stage of our
morning's walk I filmed "Furry Face TM"
having a little run about. You'd think that being small and having
short legs he'd tire rather easily wouldn't you?
You can see the video by
clicking here; but I'll be honest... most people would consider
it rather dull. Even the staunchest supporters of the antics of
Patagonian Tripe-Hounds will be disappointed. But I like the video;
I would - my dog stars in it.
I then washed the
bathroom light shade ("er indoors TM"
said she would break my face if I didn't) and I got the hoover
(Dyson) out. Yesterday I mentioned that the keyboard on my laptop was
on the way out. Whilst doing domestic drudgery I hoovered all over
the keyboard (with a Dyson) and the thing is now showing a
marked improvement. That's one little bonus, and several hundred
pounds saved.
With my little dog
settled I walked into town and did a circuit of the charity shops.
The new music stand I bought only a few months ago has broken because
(like all new music stands) it is cheap and plastic-y. I've
now got a decent proper traditional metal one. I also tried to get a
cheap table, but no one seemed to have any.
Once home I had all sorts
of plans for the afternoon; but I fell asleep.
Once I was awake "er
indoors TM" boiled up a rather good bit of
tea, and we then congregated round Romney Road where we had a real
good nosey round a new house and then watched an episode of "Star
Trek".
Should watch more of that
