I didn’t sleep that well last night. I’d parked
my car round the side road but there are parking restrictions there – I can
only leave it until 8am. So I lay awake for much of the night listening out
just in case one of the cars parked outside my house might drive off. None had
by 7.50am, so I moved the car a lot further away than I would have liked.
In retrospect I should have bought a house with
a drive.
I then had a look-see on-line. Alan Rubins has asked me to add
him to my LinkedIn network. I have absolutely no idea who this chap is. Have I
ever met him? Do we have mutual friends? If any of my loyal readers know who he
is, please let me know.
Annabella Richard wanted me to forward her all
my banking details so she could carry out some elaborate scam. Do people still
fall for that old rubbish?
Amazon were recommending books I’ve already
bought from them.
I popped the lead onto "Furry Face TM"
and set off. "er indoors TM" was off to a CITO
event in Rye. That involves physical labour, and my elbow was still painful
from the canoeing on Thursday so I thought I’d give that a miss. Instead I set
off for Ryarsh. There are three series of geocaches up there. Last year in a
fit of bravado I thought we might do all three circuits in one day. We didn’t.
We sort of did part of each of three circuits. It turns out Matt had done
something similar and was going back to do those he hadn’t and had asked if
anyone would like to join him. With no better offer at the time I’d said I’d go
along, and despite the drizzle we set off hoping for the best.
The rain soon stopped as we were soon in
Ryarsh. It wasn’t long before we were all together, and we set off on a rather
good stroll. There was a dodgy five minutes with Fudge; I let him off the lead
and he flew at a cat. However the cat stood its ground and just sat and glared
at him. My dog didn’t know what to make of this, and just barked at the cat
until I chivvied him away. In comparison the three squirrels he chased later
paled into insignificance.
We had a good walk; beautiful scenery and views
with excellent company. It turned out that all of us had done varying parts of
the geocaches in the area; we probably visited about sixty. Thirty were ones
I’d not done before. And as time was pressing we ended up cutting our walk
shorter than it might have been. Bearing in mind we ended up having walked over
twelve miles that’s rather good going.
I took a few photos as we walked. Once
home and showered I popped them on-line then we went out for a birthday
celebration, Charlotte is now twenty-one, and so a meal at the Riverside was in
order. Wonderful food with wonderful friends; I really should go round to the Riverside
inn more often.
Mind you that fourth pint might have been one
too many…
