Despite a decent night's
sleep I woke feeling rather restless; a nagging feeling that I had
forgotten something important. I watched "Family Guy"
over brekkie whilst my dog slept, and then I checked out the
Internet. I had email. I have an email alert set up to tell me when
new geocaches go live within thirty miles of home. Some had gone live
this morning; but at twenty (ish) miles distant they were too
far away to chase First to Finds. But they were the first to go live
this month, and its the ninth of October today. It wasn't that long
ago that it was unusual *not* to get one or more of these
notification emails every day. Either the general public is losing
interest in stashing sandwich boxes under rocks, or Kent is reaching
saturation point.
I would have put the lead
onto "Furry Face TM" and taken him
for a walk right after brekkie, but I had a delivery from which I had
to sit in and wait. That wasn't something that I could explain to a
Patagonian Tripe-Hound, and as I watched the telly my little dog did
whinge a little. We watched all sorts of drivel from the SkyPlus box.
I washed laundry. I even put my collection of souvenir pint glasses
(from ten years of beer festivals) through the dishwasher. The
delivery was due at some stage between 9am and 1pm; the chap arrived
with my new phone at 1.15pm, which was rather frustrating.
On activating the new
phone immediately wanted to update all its on-board apps; all the
ones I never use and don't want but don't dare delete. By the time
I'd then downloaded apps for GMX, NeonGeo, AVG, Red Alert Screensaver
and the Kindle book I was reading I really needed to get a bit of
sleep prior to tonight's night shift.
I had to leave
personalising the phone properly until another time.
In a change to what has
gone before I set off to sax lesson. On a Thursday (!) This is the
new time for sax lessons; it suits both me and teacher better. the
lesson went well, and I then set off to the night shift. Via
Morrisons where I found myself at the checkout behind someone who had
bought twelve packets of Haribo Fangtastic and two bottles of
whiskey... I wish I bought shopping like that.
