I woke shortly before 6am, and
considered driving to Eastbourne. Yesterday a new Wherigo went live there. Last
night I figured out the exact location of the thing, and still no-one had logged
a First to Find. It could have been me if not for a round trip of just over a
hundred miles. Bearing in mind it is now the twenty-third of the month and no
new caches have gone live within fifty miles of home, my monthly FTF streak is
looking as though it is coming to an end.
Whilst I was figuring out the thing’s
location I found myself pondering. Why is the Comedy Central channel bleeping
out the word “*sshole” at 11pm whilst
Radio Four has no problem with the word “w*nker”
at 7pm?
I got up and coughed some more. My cough seems to be
building up for a crescendo which I forecast will be on Christmas Day. Over
brekkie I had a look at Facebook as I do. My Lego advent calendar continued to
receive favourable comments. I was pleased about that.
I then spent half an hour working on the virtual pub crawl
in London. Pubs twelve and thirteen seem to be down an alley where Google
Street View fears to tread. Unless any of my loyal readers are in the
Bishopsgate area of London over the next week or so, I think we’ve probably got
as far along the trail as we can before going to London in the New Year.
We drove round to collect Lacey and went to the Cinema.
Lacey wanted to see “Daddy’s
Home 2”.
I had no idea what the film was about, but didn’t want to miss out. I must
admit I thought it wasn’t going to be anything special, and my heart sank what
I realised Will Ferell was in it. But I was wrong. It was one of the funniest
films I’ve seen in a long time.
I also saw trailers from some other films that might well
be worth a watch. But then I always do when I go to the cinema.
With film watched we collected "My Boy TM"
and went for McLunch. Seeing as it is Christmas I rather fancied a cheeky
Nandos but I was on my own on that one. So McLunch it was. And with McLunch
scoffed we went on to B&M bargains (as
it is just up the road) for a look-see. I don’t like the Ashford B&M;
the Canterbury one is *much* tackier.
I slept all the way home. Once home we took the dogs round
the park. We met several other dogs; Treacle ran in terror from them, Fudge
humped them. Business as usual really.
With walk done "er indoors TM"
had a little snooze, as did the dogs. I geo-puzzled for an hour or so. I
eventually gave up. I had some successes, but if any of my loyal readers know
the common factor or the tube stations Goldhawk Road, Barbican, Tower Hill,
Hammersmith and Latimer Road, or of the tube stations Westminster, South
Kensington, Green Park and Pimlico, please feel free to gloat.
Over a rather good bit of dinner we activated Netflix and
watched the first “Daddy’s Home”
film. Today was my first day off for five days – how do most people work “normal” hours?
That Wherigo is still waiting for an FTF….
