It was hossing down when I got up this morning. I made
toast and had a look at a rather dull Internet. Nothing much was kicking off
for once. There was a new series of geocaches near Edenbridge; I thought they
might be puzzles which would give me something to do until the rain stopped.
But they weren’t.
After half an hour I saw the rain was easing off. If I
was to believe weather forecasts I’d never leave the house, so I took a chance
and took the dogs out. As we drove Professor
Michele Dougherty was on Desert Island Discs. She’s
been the lead investigator on several of NASA’s planetary probes and she was
rather interesting. Her choice of music was eclectic to say the least, ranging
from classical music to operatic dirges, Christmas carols and Abba.
We got to the woods and had a good walk. Like
yesterday we stayed away from the muddiest parts. I ran the birdsong app; it
detected quite a few more birds than it has done recently, and for the first
time it detected an owl.
We came home where “er indoors TM” was
playing music from The Wombles on the Alexa. I scrubbed the dogs, made us both
a cuppa, wrote up some CPD, and then had my daily
go at Wordle. Starting with “daily” was a better move than many of my
first choices. “Latte” took me one letter closer, and “pales” told me
where the “e” and the “l” went. “Camel” took me no further,
but “bagel” gave me the clue I needed to come up with “gavel” on
the last attempt.
We cleared the space by the fuse box, and soon there
was a tap on the door. Two weeks ago the light switch in the loo broke, and the
nice man came to replace it with a new one today. I had looked at the job
myself, but I’m a great believer in getting in someone who knows what they are
doing. The nice man took out the broken switch, put in a new one, and was on
his way in twenty minutes. I would have been at it all day.
I then spent a little while geo-plotting. Do I want to
put out a new series of geocaches… I quite like setting the things up, and
planning them gives me something to do.
I then spent much of the afternoon snuggled on the
sofa with Morgan reading “Harry Potter” on my Kindle app.
Today has been rather lazy; I’m really going to have
an early night tonight… but first I’m going to the toilet because I can see
what I’m doing in there now… I’ve been saving it for the works chodbin for the
last fortnight…
