The idea of having had
the last week or so off work was to go on holiday to Turkey. Or so I thought.
Somewhere along the line there was a mis-communication and no one else in the
family had ever heard about going to Turkey this last week. Still, I’ve had a
good few days off. I led a trip to the Red Sands Fort, I got a day’s fishing in,
I hunted Tupperware, I got the lawn mowed and the house painted.
On the minus side I
didn’t do pond maintenance, and I didn’t get the foreign day trip I’d hoped
for, but you can’t have everything.
Over brekkie I had my
usual look at the Internet as I do. Racial hatred was being posted here and
there. It amazes me how people feel it is OK to post racial hatred on social
media if they prefix it with “this is not
racist” when clearly it is, or pretend there was a soldier involved. I told
two so-called “friends” the error of
their ways. I’ve told these two the error of their ways before.
I then messed about
with “Bubble Witch Saga” for five
minutes whilst Fudge snuggled up to me. He was particularly soppy this morning;
I wonder what that was all about?
Despite the rain I got
the leads on to the dogs and we went for a little walk. As we left the house I
had a bit of a sulk on. Maybe I could have found a geocache for us to hunt out?
A plain walk round the park was going to be dull…
Or so I thought.
When we got to the
fountain I found a Snow Dog. Local
businesses have sponsored the creation of a couple of dozen painted dog
sculptures which have been put all over the town. Having found the one in the
park I downloaded the app to my phone, and we spent an enjoyable hour or so
hunting some of them out. I say “an
enjoyable hour or so”; I enjoyed myself. A guided walk with a purpose is
always good in my world. As we walked I took some photos. You can see
them by clicking here and as you can clearly see, whist Treacle
wasn’t really bothered one way or another, Fudge seemed totally bored with the
things. Mind you he did piddle up a few of the Snow Dogs.
We found nine on
today’s little walk. I believe they are in place for a month or so before they
get auctioned for charity. I might find more on future walks.
We came home via the
corner shop (I wanted a sandwich for lunch)
and just as I got home my phone beeped. Yesterday’s blog entry had received a
comment. Sometimes people comment on what I write; I welcome comments, if only
so I don’t feel I’m ranting at myself. However you do have to log in via Google
to comment otherwise I get inundated with spam. I deleted the comment I
received today as it wasn’t really the sort of thing I like to get. However if
any of my loyal readers would like to spend good money on a nudey sauce romp
with a rather immoral young lady from Karachi do let me know and I will forward
her details.
I took myself off to
bed for the afternoon; I slept reasonably well. I would have slept better had
the dogs not been constantly barking at shadows.
"er indoors TM" will be home
soon. A bite of dinner, then I’m off to the night shift…
