I
woke this morning to find Treacle was chewing my hand. She wanted to play. A
shame it was still before three o'clock.
I
lay awake until I had enough of laying awake, got up, and as I scoffed my toast
I watched an episode of "Orange is
the new black". I quite like this show - it does get a tad saucy in
parts though.
Then (pausing only briefly to give "er indoors TM" her birthday pressie) I set off to work.
As
I drove the pundits on the radio were discussing the revelation that moderate
drinking in the fifty-year olds staves off dementia. I shall bear
that in mind.
There
was also talk about how the Prime Minister is planning to suck up to the French
premier in an attempt to keep him sweet for a cheeky post-Brexit deal.
I
can't see how any deal will ever get done with all the details being smeared
everywhere by the media.
Yesterday
I failed to find a geocache near Allington. Last night I saw that someone went
for it after me and found it. I sent them a message and got a message back.
Having a few minutes spare this morning and being armed with a hint I went back
and found it. It was a relatively straightforward find *if* you ignored the bit in the description about not needing to
cross a fence. Having been given a hint I crossed that fence and walked into a
thicket to a point some twenty yards away from where the GPS would have had me
believe the thing was hidden.
I
don't like cache hides like that. The whole idea is that the GPS takes you to
the exact spot (give or take a yard or so)
then you have to search. Either for an easy find, or for a hide which is very
well camouflaged, or for something rather clever.
The
idea *isn't* that you are faced with
a circle of twenty yards radius to randomly rummage through.
Having
finally found the thing I went in to work and did my bit. I came home to find
our house guests had arrived. "Stormageddon - Bringer of Destruction TM"
was having a sleepover with us, and he’d brought his slugs with him.
We
fed the pond fish. We played Ker-Plunk, we had sausages and chips, we did
jigsaw puzzles… not a bad way to spend a birthday evening really…
