Finding myself wide awake at silly
o’clock I spent an hour trying to get back to sleep and failing. I got up and
went off on a little preparatory geo-mission.
You would be amazed at how many people
were out and about out in the sticks this morning. It was interesting – being
out and about a lot earlier I met quite a few twitchers. The bird-watching
fraternity were out long before the dog walkers appeared.
After six miles I’d completed what I
intended, and came home where I collected the dogs and drove them down to
Orlestone woods. I might have saved some time had I taken them out with me
earlier, but geo-recce-ing goes much easier without canine assistance.
We had another good walk round Orlestone
Woods. The car park was busy but the woods are big enough that we went round
without getting close enough to anyone to cause (or be caused) any
problems.
By the time I got home at half past ten
I’d walked nearly eight miles and was ready for a rest. I got a pecan roll from
the corner shop and scoffed it with a cuppa whilst having my morning look at
the Internet (four hours later than usual). It was much the same as it
ever is.
I set the washing machine going and
pootled about on the Internet for a bit, then with washing done and hung out I
washed some more before going up to the attic where I played Lego for a while.
The Lego police station has never really been right so I made a new one, then
wasted a couple of hours playing “Cookie Jam” on Facebook games.
"er indoors TM" boiled up a very
good bit of dinner which we scoffed whilst watching yesterday’s episode of “Bake
Off: the Professionals”. I have become very judgemental about other people’s
baking despite being utterly unable to cook anything more elaborate than a
peanut butter sandwich…
We are now watching “Celebrity
Gogglebox” – “celebrity”…? I’ve heard of two of them.
Not a bad day off…
