I suppose its not really
surprising that I slept quite well last night; woken only once by "er
indoors TM" snoring. Over brekkie I
watched "The
Last Ship"; a post-apocalyptic drama about a
microbiology lab on a US naval ship trying to make a cure to a
worldwide plague. The first episode seemed watchable enough. I shall
give it a go and see how it pans out.
My Ham Street Lover
called shortly after 8am and we took "Furry Face TM"
for a walk. Shorne Shenanigans
is a series of forty geocaches laid out on two loops over some eight
miles. The weather wasn't looking too good, but with the promise of
it brightening up later we thought we might walk the series in
reverse order doing the smaller loop first. If the weather didn't
chirp up we could abandon the walk.
We set off into a rather
bright looking morning but... what can I say?
To cut a long story short
the weather didn't chirp up. It chirped down. I can't really remember
ever having been wetter, and I've fallen in ponds and rivers. We had
a good laugh, we found all the geocaches we set out to find, Steve
even got one or two chestnuts, but there's no denying that the
weather could have been better. It wasn't long before we were soaked
to the skin. Even little "Furry Face TM"
looked like a seal, and he was actually whinging and crying because
he was so wet.
As is always the case we
didn't get to the point where we needed to abandon until we were at
the furthest point of the walk from the car. When we got back to the
car we were sodden. I poured the water out of my boots (literally
about a pint), wrapped a shivering dog in a towel, and we came
home to warm up.
With "Furry Face
TM" finally settled and happy I drove
down to Folkestone to spend an hour or so with "Daddies
Little Angel TM" and the baby. We all of
us dozed for some of that time. After a while I came home; as I
walked back to my car I was harangued for a fag by a passing
scratter.
Before I drove off to
come home I plugged my phone into the car charger to give it some
juice; nothing happened. Once home I tried different batteries and
different chargers. It seems to have lost the ability to charge its
battery. I contacted the insurance people. The new phone arrives
tomorrow...
We had a good bit of tea
tonight, it was a shame that in the process of boiling up the scran
the grill support in the cooker collapsed. I've had a go at bodging
it back but whetever it is inside the cooker that the screw fits in
to has gone. I shall see if I can get a slighttly fatter screw
(oo-er!) or a new cooker.
Phone, cooker.. they say
these things come in threes. i wonder what will be next.
