I slept through until my alarm went off at seven o’clock
this morning. I saw that as a result. I made toast and peered into a Facebook
which was rather polarized (isn’t it always?) There were those posting
photos of last night’s lightning, and there were those who were pretending to
be utterly disinterested. I suppose it is the same with photos of anything.
Everything is interesting on first sight, but after the five hundredth photo,
the interest tends to wane.
I had an email about a new geocache this morning. I have
alerts set up to tell me about new geocaches within thirty miles of home. Back
in the day it was rare for there not to have been at least one new one every
day. It’s been two weeks since the last one went live.
And I had a text from the doctor. They want another week’s
worth of twice-daily blood pressure measurements.
We drove round to Dog Club. As we drove Steve was doing the
“Guess the Lyrics” competition on the radio. “Father forgive me, I
tried not to do it” ? No? – Pet Shop Boys; It’s A Sin.
Attendance was down at Dog Club, but we had a great time.
Charging about; getting into mischief, more treats than sense…A great time was
had by all.
As we drove away Steve was doing the Mystery Year
competition on the radio. When was the siege of the Iranian Embassy in London?
1980.
Steve didn’t give the answer until later this morning; I
was pleased about that. It gives me more of a chance.
“er indoors TM” came home to get
ready for her adventure. I took the dogs out for ours. We drove to Staple where
the monthly geo-meet was happening at the Black Pig. This was the fourth time
we’ve met there, and it has always been an excellent meet-up.
Today we had a rather good game of Bat and Trap in which I
scored three points; tripling my previous best score. The dogs had dog biscuits
from the bar, and also had chicken skins. Chicken skins are new to us – they
are basically the chicken version of pork scratchings. They had salami sticks
too.
After nearly three hours the dogs got a tad fractious, so I
brought them home. We said hello and goodbye to “er indoors TM” who
was off to Margate for some 80s music evening thingy at Dreamland.
I put a load of washing in to scrub. I dishwashered and
ironed and watched episodes of “Orange is the New Black” as the dogs all
snored.
I decided against taking them out this evening; they’ve had
a rather busy day today…
As have I.
