I slept reasonably well but was still awake far too early.
I made toast and peered into a dull internet. There was pretty much nothing
going on for once.
I sent out birthday wishes to the three friends having
birthdays today, and registered an account with Kent County Council to use the
tip. Something’s changed on their booking system and if you use the booking
system as a guest they now charge you a tenner. That was kept quiet.
I had a flurry of emails – people had been up in Kings Wood
yesterday hunting out the geocache I’d hidden there and found loads. Including
the one that I had been firmly assured wasn’t there. Ho hum…
I saw our Munzee clan had reached our first monthly goal,
which was a result. And I got Wordle on the fourth attempt (shush – what a
stupid word).
I wrote up some CPD, then spent
a little while looking for a USB camera that I could poke into a microscope and
plug into my phone. I bought a very cheap one years ago… and lost it.
We took the dogs for a little outing, Munzing as we went.
And we picked up a local geocache too and were awarded with a virtual map for
our troubles.
Once home I had a hot cross bun and played (beat) a chess
bot. To be fair it took some beating.
And then we got on with what had been the plan for the day.
With the garden tidied the clans gathered and we had a rather good afternoon in
the garden. To be honest I’d rather planned an afternoon in the garden with
last week’s weather in mind, but we only had to retreat indoors from the rain
once. It was a shame that the garden table collapsed under the weight of people
sitting on it, but I never liked the thing anyway.
It was really good to catch up with friends, and we shall
do so again before too much longer. Hopefully by then it will have warmed up a
bit.
Eventually we said our goodbyes, came inside to warm up,
and I then had a little sleep for a couple of hours.
“er indoors TM” boiled up a rather
good dinner which we scoffed whilst watching the final episode of “Tempting Fortune”
in which those who’d been abstemious and good went home with very little more
than those who’d been squandering with reckless abandon.
It turned out that today was the Jack in the Green event in
Hastings… Had I remembered that it was on I might have gone down to it. But
probably wouldn’t have.
