As
I drove home I actually laughed out loud when I heard the pundits on the radio
talking about the latest developments with the Brexit debacle. I don't pretend
to understand the finer details of international law, but from what I could
work out it seems that after Brexit, the UK will still have to comply with all
the EU's rules for international trading. If the UK don't then the EU won't
trade with us. End of.
I
can remember several people on the lead-up to the Brexit vote being *extremely* vociferous about "not being beholden to foreigner's rules",
and here we are. Every bit as "beholden
to foreigner's rules" as we were before Brexit, but no with absolutely
no input to the making of these rules (which
we *did* have before we voted it away).
If
I didn't laugh, I might cry.
I
had a quick look-see at the Internet over brekkie. Yesterday I mentioned that
I'd emailed geo-HQ about a problem I was having with a Wherigo GWZ file. Geo-HQ
had emailed to say that they didn't support the entire Wherigo concept any
more. That's handy... I'm just glad I hadn't embarked on the hundreds of hours
of programming for the Crystal Maze - based Wherigo I'd been thinking about.
There
were also a few postings from Stanmer Park where Brighton Kite Festival was
taking place. In years gone by Brighton Kite Festival was a big part of my
annual calendar. It was suggested that we went there this year; it might have
been fun, but I've not flown a kite for a few years. I can't help but feel it
would be taking the piss to turn up just for the cheap camping.
We
got ourselves organized and drove out to Fordwich where we met Tracy, Karl and
Charlotte. The dogs were equipped with their cooling bandanna-collars (as It was a hot day) and we went for a
little walk. The “Woodland Walk”
series of geocaches was ideal for today; a relatively short walk most of which
was under tree cover. We saw the biggest monkey-puzzle tree you ever did see. We
played on rope swings. We completely lost the footpath. We met several people
on horses.
Today’s
walk was only a short one; we were soon back at the cars, and a little walk
from where we’d parked had us at the Fordwich Arms. A rather good pub; as well
as four decent ales on the hand pumps they had home-made pork scratchings and
vegetable crisps. We had a good time in the beer garden scoffing and drinking
I
took a few photos whilst we were out.
What
with the night shift and the heat of the day and the beer I slept most (all) of the way home. I then slept some
more until Sarah and Nick arrived for the evening and we had a rather good time
making plans for next weekend.
I
have often said that God laughs when we make plans… we shall see…
