15 May 2021 (Saturday) - It Rained (Hard)

I slept like a log last night, and was finally woken by Pogo chewing my nose at half past eight. Clearly it was time to get up.

I came downstairs to find that er indoors TM” had just chivvied Sid into the garden. He had a little bimble round, came back in and crapped on the lino. I wish he wouldn’t do that. With turds cleared I made brekkie, saw there was nothing kicking off on Facebook (even though yesterday’s pornmonger was still active), and with no emails of note I got Pogo and Treacle onto their leads and went out to do a little geocache maintenance.

 

We drove to Park Farm, and had a quick walk round the series of geocaches I’d hidden there a while ago. Sure enough, two of them were missing, so I replaced them. As we walked we met two other dogs. One wasn’t on a lead, and all was fine. One was on a lead, and mayhem ensued. I got chatting with the chap whose dog was off the lead; he too found that having dogs on leads usually causes far more problems than it solves.

I realised it was raining when we started walking, but it was only a gentle fine rain. You know the sort of rain – the one that gets you absolutely soaked even though it doesn’t look like anything to worry about.

 

We came home to an empty house. er indoors TM” had gone off to help Cheryl prepare for a funeral. I cleaned the dogs (they always get grubby), and as the rain got worse so I solved geo-puzzles. Lots of them. As I puzzled I found myself looking out of the window. Blue skies out of one window, black skies out of another. Glorious sunshine, rain heavy enough to drown out the sound of snoring dogs, and back to glorious sunshine all within five minutes.

After a few hours er indoors TM” came home, with a thunderstorm hot on her heels.

 

I made a start on my next Wherigo project… and that was the day. Fiddling about on the lap-top whilst watching the weather violently swing from one extreme to the other…

I suppose I got a lot of puzzles solved, and I got a lot of Wherigo writing done, but it really did seem like a wasted day… the forecast for tomorrow is much the same.
