Having woken about 3.30am
I didn't get back to sleep; I lay awake for a couple of hours, then
got up and set about the laundry. In between filling and emptying
dishwashers and washing machines I watched an episode of "Dominion".
It's not a bad series. and after that, I mucked about on the Internet
for a bit.
There's no denying that
at times my shift pattern gives me quite a bit of free time. However
there are other times when I seem to be working continuously. It is
then (now) that I like to make a point of doing something to
break up the pattern of sleep-work-sleep-work. Bearing in mind that
with a night shift on the cards I would need to spend the afternoon
in bed, so I had planned to go out this morning.
Being an avid fan of the
Wherigo geocache we went to do one in Maistone. It was....
disappointing. We took along four devices on which to play the game;
it wouldn't run on two of them. And when it did run... the thing
itself needs to be proof-read by someone fluent in English. (That's
not being sarcastic; that's an honest opinion). And the route it
takes... with virtually all of Allington in which to wander did we
*really* have to do pretty much all of the hour's walking
along main roads? I've now gone after five Wherigo caches and three
of them have been disappointing.
We made our way back to
the car via five other geocaches. All of which looked to have been
good in their day, but all of which seem to have suffered from the
passing of time. In fact I extracted a dead blue tit from one of
them.
This is the trouble with
so-called "clever" caches; they are fragile and
break.
We got home shortly after
mid day, and after a spot of lunch I took myself off to bed where I
slept for a couple of hours and then rather than watching more telly
I had a look at a geo-puzzle that had been published a few days ago.
It looked like it wouldn't be too far off of my route to work, and
with no one having logged a First to Find I thought it might keep me
out of mischief on the way to work. The puzzle was based on
nineteenth century crockery. Or so I initially thought. A little
brainstorming supplemented by a little idiot enthusiasm soon gave me
the thumbs-up from the on-line checker.
Let's see if I can get
that FTF...
