I woke in a cold sweat
shortly after 6am. I had been having a rather odd dream in which the
King of Germany had invited me on a cruise around the Isle of Wight.
Half way round the voyage the ship ran out of lager and things became
particularly nasty. I wonder what that was all about?
I got up and had brekkie
whilst watching the SkyPlus box's offering. "Dad's Army"
usually amuses. Corporal Jones was having problems with people
sneering at his brawn. I then had a look-see on-line. Social media
wound me up (as it often does) with so many people pretending
to have some Irish heritage so they can claim some sort of connection
to Sant Patrick's Day.
Mind you I did see that
"Gotham"
has been given a third season so there was some advantage in tuning
in to Facebook this morning.
I had a look at the BBC's
analysis of yesterday's budget. From what
I can work out I shall be £6.63 better off each month from now
on. A minor result, I suppose.
I popped the led onto
"Furry Face TM" and we went for a
walk. Usually on a day off we'd collect "Daddies Little Angel
TM" and "Stormageddon - Bringer of
Destruction TM" for our walk but
they had a better offer.
As we walked down to Park
Farm we saw what looked like goldfinches. I've not seen them round
here before. We also saw small children who cried in terror at the
sight of my dog. That's happened two dayss running; what's going on.
We replaced a missing
geocache in Park Farm, and checked on one which I thought was fine
only to find it wasn't.
On the way back we had a
phone call. "Daddies Little Angel TM"
s plans had gone west, and so she and "Stormageddon - Bringer
of Destruction TM" were up for a
walk. So we carried on up through Willesborough Dykes to find them.
Together we had an hour's stroll; as we walked we met a dog which
looked not unlike my one. Although the same age he seemed half the
weight. This prompted me to weigh my dog, so on our way home we
stopped off at Pets at Home where I popped "Furry Face TM"
onto the scales. On the one hand he's lost 0.2Kg since his last
weigh-in. On the other hand he is still three kilogrammes overweight.
I treated myself to KFC
for lunch. After my "intestinal adventures" earlier
this week it was quite nice to be feeling hungry again. And being at
a loose end I then watched this week's episode of "Extant".
This show blows hot and cold. It is quite enjoyable... but would any
politician *really* set a load of killer robots loose?
Apparently the show has been cancelled..
I drove the baby car seat
round to "Daddies Little Angel TM"
then collected "er indoors TM"
from work and we drove up to Maidstone. There was a geo-meet this
evening to celebrate one of our number's having obtained British
citizenship.
We arrived to see a
friend marching up the hill; obviously on a mission. Had a new
geocache gone live for the evening? Pressing refresh on my NeonGeo
app I chased after Matt. Sure enough he was chasing a First to Find.
And I was chasing him. Rather cheeky of me, but a joint FTF is never
a bad thing.
We then went back down
the hill to the pub in which everyone was meeting. It was good to
spend a little while chatting with friends.
The plan was to have had
dinner in the pub but.... Call me an old skinflint if you will, but
the price of one meal in the pub was more than the price of two meals
(plus desserts) in McDonalds. And I like McDonalds. So once
the meet was over we went for McDinner.
The chips were cold. "er
indoors TM" took them back...
