Yesterday afternoon was a blur, and yesterday evening was
something of a blank. I felt rather fragile when I got up this morning.
I made toast and had a little look at the Internet to see
if I’d missed much. There was quite a bit of chat on the family Whatsapp group
following on from yesterday’s party.
The local newspaper was trying to stir it all up about an
anti-immigration protest that happened yesterday. A couple of dozen protestors
showed up to shout hatred, and about twice that number showed up to shout at
those doing the shouting. If anything, the winner here was apathy.
I Munzed, and had a go at Wordle. “Doing” gave me
nothing. “Truce” was a bit better, and through utter pot luck I got it
on the third go with “flute”.
As we fiddled about so we had Radio Ashford playing on the
Alexa. The Sunday chap isn’t a patch on the chap who does it on a Saturday…
We had planned some small walks across the Romney Marsh
hunting out Origami Animals (it’s a geo-thing) for today, but the
weather was against that. So instead we had a little road trip up to Ramsgate
and back hunting out Origami Animals up there.
We started off hunting out a geocache that according to the
map was on the side of a road… It was. But sadly it was on the other side of
the dual carriageway we were on. Fortunately we found a lay-by and I managed to
nip over the road during a lull in the traffic.
The second one was by an ancient Celtic cross monument and
took quite a bit of finding.
The third one was missing. The hint explained exactly what
we were looking for, and exactly where it was. The last person to find it has
only ever found one geocache – I suspect they’ve taken it home to show their
mum.
The fourth one was called “Canapes on the Beach” and
with a name like that you’d expect it to be actually on the beach, wouldn’t
you? Not on the promenade overlooking the beach?
It was raining when I was just about to pick up the fifth
cache. As I reached for it so a loud voice demanded to know “What the hell
are you doing!!!” There was some aggressive-looking woman walking past. I
told her I was looking for something. She wanted to know if it was an important
something. I told her it wasn’t. She said that if it was important she would
have helped me. I remarked that it was as well that it wasn’t important. She
then wanted to know what I was doing looking for something unimportant in the
rain. I explained that I was minding my own business. It was at this point that
“delightful individual” shoved off and left me alone.
The sixth involved parking up and going for another little
walk.
And the seventh was just by a bridge overlooking the M2.
I thought we’d only be out for a couple of hours; we were
out for over four hours. But the dogs got some little walks, and I took a few photos as we went
here and there. We had targeted seven geocaches for today. We found six, and so
got six origami animals – an elephant, a frog, a moose, a fox, a pig and a
crab.
There’s still six more origami animal Treasures for us to
get.
We came home for a rather late lunch. I sat on the sofa and
had a little doze. “er indoors TM” boiled up some
sausages for tea then went off to the cinema. I ironed some shirts whilst
watching more episodes of “Danger UXB”. Although it is a rather old show
it is quite believable in that (just like actually happened in real life)
many of the characters in it die. In so many TV shows the characters seem
immortal, and that simply wouldn’t work in a show like this.
The dogs have been really quiet this evening…
