A rather good night‘s sleep… with many more to
come (he boasted foolishly!) In the past the dogs have got onto the bed
between us and the duvet got pulled down under their weight, got pulled off of
us (me!) and we (I) shivered. We’ve now got a single duvet each
and so when the dogs get in the middle they don’t pull the duvet off of us (me!).
The first night was a success; I slept through till nine o’clock this morning.
Being the first of a month meant I changed the
blade on my razor, and with my toast made I had a look at the Internet. Pretty
much everyone who posts on Facebook was wishing the world a happy new year,
which was nice.
Back in the day there used to be a big walk for all the
geocachers in Kent on New Year’s Day following the epic pub session for all the
geocachers in Kent on New Year’s Eve, but with geocaching in a terminal
decline, sadly no one organized anything this year. So we got the dogs onto their
leads and “er
indoors TM” and I took the dogs to Hythe for a little
geo-adventure of our own. We walked round the town doing the series of
Adventure Lab caches that are there, and with the Adventure Lab done we found
ourselves at a church where there was a geocache with a puzzle needing quite a
bit of information to be found around the church. As we walked around getting
what we needed from benches in the graveyard we were approached by some chap
who introduced himself as a friend of a very serious geocacher who has over two
hundred finds… and he offered us help and advice. He showed us where he lived
and said if we needed any more help just to knock on his front door and ask. I
smiled sweetly.
After a couple of hours we came home and over a lunch of leftovers
we watched the Christmas episode of “Ghosts”, then we watched “Chicken Run; Dawn of the
Nugget”. As we watched I made myself feel quite ill
scoffing a tub of Cadbury’s Heroes, and “er indoors TM” got rather
stressed trying to get a quote for dog insurance. They don’t give it away you
know.
We had more leftovers for
dinner, and scoffed them whilst watching the Lego movie. Both were rather good.
In the past New Year’s
day has been quite the adventure; today was rather quieter.
I quite liked today…
