After a surprisingly good sleep (with no tiddle breaks in the small hours) I got up and tried out my
new razor. It did rather well, but at that price I would expect it to.
Over brekkie I had a look-see at the Internet. Not much had
changed overnight. Not that it does very often, but it is always worth staying
alert. It is when you stop paying attention that things happen.
I put the leads on the dogs… well, I got Fudge’s lead on.
At lead time Treacle plays silly beggars and runs off. Today I wasn’t having
any of it. I just took Fudge off towards the door. Treacle came running like a
shot not wanting to miss out.
We went through Bowen’s Field wetland park which is now no
more than a swamp. Most of it is under water. The council really needs to send
out “Aspire Land Management” to build
up the paths so they are above swamp level. I considered posting on the “Ashford” Facebook page, but that is
little more than a fight these days. Instead I posted to the “South Ashford Community Forum”; I wonder
how long it will be until the fur flies about the issue.
We went on through Viccie Park where I lost Fudge. He was
fine; just several hundred yards behind us. I wish he’d keep up. It was only
when we were crossing to the co-op field that I realised we’d not seen any
other dogs at all today. Where had they all gone?
I came home and had a look in the back garden. The fence which
is my responsibility (apparently!)
stood up to the overnight storm. The fence on the side of not-so-nice-next-door needs a little attention. However for her to
get to it she will need to cut back her jungle. Perhaps I might as well just
fix it and be done with it.
I had a cup of coffee with a lump of
Christmas cake, watched an episode of “Still
Game”, and set off for another late shift. I had this vague idea to find a
geocache as part of a year-long streak of finding caches. There was one in
Bearsted which (according to the map)
looked as though it would be a straightforward find.
It wasn't.
Having blown out there I went up the
road to another one that I similarly couldn't find. I gave up and set off in the general
direction of work.
Oh well; my year-long streak lasted two
days.
To commiserate this failure I stopped off in McDonalds
where I had a honeycomb caramel galaxy McFlurry. Have you ever had one of
these? I can heartily recommend them.
I might have another tomorrow…
