27 January 2025 (Monday) - Treacle's Trek

I slept like a log last night. I’ve been sleeping rather better lately. I got up at about eight o’clock and stepped on the scales. I’ve lost four pounds over this last week. I don’t think I’ve made a lot of mention on social media about this current diet, but as I scoffed toast so my Facebook feed was filled with adverts for weight loss medication.
 
“er indoors TM set off to work. Seeing the forecast rain hadn’t happened I took a chance and took the dogs to the woods. We went to the lower car park and walked the third of the series of geocaches I’ve got planned. “Treacle’s Trek” took us along the southern edge of Kings Wood and was quite muddy in parts. As we walked along the edge of the woods there were pheasants everywhere, which stressed the dogs quite a bit. As we walked we met a few other dog walkers. One chap was having troubles. Having jogged past with his dog, two minutes later we caught up with him with his dog on a lead being marched out of a thicket. He commented on how my three managed off the lead. Apparently when his dog is off the lead it finds a dead animal every hundred yards.
Ironically five minutes later I pulled a small bone out of Morgan’s mouth.
 
The other two series of geocaches I’m planning came in at almost exactly six miles. Today’s did too, but for some reason it seemed less.
We came home for a serious go in the shower. All three dogs were filthy, and Morgan in particular was covered in fox poo. What is the attraction of that stuff?
 
I warmed up a couple of leftover sausages from last night and scoffed them with a bag of crisps for dinner. As I scoffed I watched the new “Star Trek: Section 31” film. It was crap. It had been made by someone who had looked up Star Trek on Wikipedia so that they could bung in a few of the things that have appeared in the past. But rather than looking it up on Wikipedia, they should have actually watched the show. The attraction of Star Trek is likeable characters. I didn’t warm to any of the characters in the film, and I was counting the minutes until it finally ended.
 
I then spent a little while working on the notes I’d made whilst going our little walk this morning. Updating co-ordinates and location descriptions and glaring errors in the Wherigo I tested. And as the dogs continued to snore I munzed and got Wordle on the fourth attempt.
And as I’d been sitting still for a while I checked my blood pressure. Noticeable down on a week ago, but still far too high.
 
“er indoors TM boiled up bacon, eggs and hash browns which had far fewer calories than you might imagine. She then went bowling, and I watched an episode of “Poldark”. We’re into season three and there are far fewer bosoms heaving than I remember their being.
I shall write more Wherigo until “er indoors TM comes home.
