Last night I was feeling
rather tired. I had a reasonably early night and slept well.. I woke
refreshed and raring to go only to see it was 2.20am. I rolled over
and went baack to sleep. Before long I was embroiled in a rather
vivid nightmare in which "Furry Face TM"
had fallen from the sea wall in Dymchurch and had dislocated or
broken his front right leg. I woke up sobbing pathetically.
Did I ever mention that I
never wanted a dog?
It was still before 4am.
In situations like this I sometimes find that getting up and doing
something helps. So I got up and had a shave. It was a little cold
as I scraped, but it worked; I was now tired. I then went back to bed
and slept through till 7am.
I got up and opened
today's window of my lego
Advent Calendar. Today I had a little areoplane, so I took a
photo and posted it on-line. Again this lego Advent Calendar seems
to have developed a life of its own. I can't help but wonder what
will happen tomorrow. It would be very easy to open all the windows
and find out, but that would be cheating.
I took my dog for a walk.
Some days we go for hours and hardly anything of note happens. Today
was different. As we walked round past where the councill says horses
aren't supposed to be (I counted ten horses today) we saw
something odd. A random looney was doing his excercises on the
footpath. So I filmed him for
a while. The video wasn't as good as it might have been; when
making clandestine videos of random looneys, sublety is everything.
As we walked past the
random looney Fudge barked at him. Somewhat half-heartedly I
thought.
From here we walked down
to the bakery. Saturday morning is Belgian bun time. Lee's mum was
behind the counter in the bakery. Lee was one of my cub scouts
(twenty years ago) and at the time Lee's mum was rather foxy
(woof!). She's still got it !! And she remembered me. Result
!!
We came home, uploaded
the video of the random looney to YouTube and scoffed the Belgian
buns. Despite the serious plus factor of Lee's mum I wasn't impressed
with mine.
We then made our way to
ean where eight of us had a little geo-walk round Beacon Wood. It was
a good wood to walk around; but I do feel that I could have done with
a little more familiarity with the area; I did feel I was following
the GPS arrow far more than following footpaths.
And from the woods we
drove to the Kent County geo-Christmas event. It was *really*
good; meeting with friends, eating cake... and I got voted "Geocacher
of the Year"... for a moment I really was lost for words. I
had a little drinkie (or two) to settle my nerves. It's just
possible I might have had one too many...
