I had a quick look-see
on-line as I scoffed brekkie. Photos of yesterday's booze-up seemed
to have been popular. I say "popular"; a lot of
people had clicked the like button. Did they actually like them or
was that just being polite..... this morning found me in a rather
paranoid frame of mind. For example... many people don't realise that
when they post something on social media it posts an approximate
location of where you are at that time. So when someone tells me that
they would be in central London at a certain time but actually seemed
to be transmitting from just down the road I spent hours wondering if
there has been a hiccup of technology or whether the talk of London
was just a ruse, an oversight or a deliberate attempt to avoid me.
Whichever it was I am sure it was of far less significance than I
have taken it to be. I'm silly like that.
Perhaps it was the
hangover? I like going for a booze-up. I do *not* like the
general feeling of grottiness (and vague guilt) that follows
it.
I must admit to a wry
smile when I read that the fan-funded Star Trek movie project
"Axanar" has
been kiboshed by the people who own the copyrights to all things
Star Trek. Much as I like watching the fan-made stuff there is a very
fine line between making these fan movies for fun and making a mint
out of them. And as Paramount are looking to release a new Star
Trek film and a new Star
Trek series in the near future is anyone really surprised that
those withte legal right to make money from the franchise don't want
anyone else dipping into their pot?
With toast scoffed I took
"Furry Face TM" for a walk. He was
full of enthusiasm to go out. Sid went and hid when he saw the leads
so I left him at home. He didn't want to come out so I wasn't going
to force him (today).
I'd had a report that one
of my urban geo-hides had gone soggy and needed replacement, so we
walked round the streets to Banks Road. Sure enough the thing was
wringing wet; it was the work of a second to swap out the old sodden
one for a new dry one. Mind you there was no need for the old one to
have been wet. If only people put the things back with the open end
facing down then the rain wouldn't fill them up.
Once home I got "Hannah"
programmed for the day. For once we left the dogs at home and drove
up to Faversham to meet out geo-buddies. Surprisingly the journey
took rather longer than I expected, but soon enough ten of us were
gathered together and we had a really good wander around Bysing Wood.
Only about a mile; only about an hour. But still a good stroll with
good company.
From the woods we made
our way to Teynham where the county's hunters of tupperware were
meeting up. We spent an couple of hours chatting, then went out for
another little walk after lunch.
I then slept much of the
way home.
I
took a few photos whilst we were out. Once home I put them
on-line and then dozed until Jimbo called to tek us round to Steve
and Sarah. Chatting with friends, food and drink, ChromeCast quizzees
and even a new card game to play.
Not a bad way to see in
the New Year...
