I was sleeping like a log when Treacle kicked me in
the nuts shortly after seven o’clock this morning. That woke me up.
Facebook was interesting as I scoffed my toast. My
cousin has spent the last few months reporting an underground banging sound near
her house. After being fobbed off by UK Power Networks for some time, last
night (at about ten o’clock)! they started digging up outside her house.
At five o’clock this morning she was woken by a knocking on the door and was
told she was being evacuated as the ones doing the digging had bashed through a
gas main.
She’s currently in a hotel at UK Power Networks’
expense.
I Munzed, Wordled from “power” to “karat”.
I got it by randomly putting in the letters I had left until the app accepted
something.
I took the dogs up to Kings Wood where we had a good
walk. We took some different paths to our usual ones. The dogs chased a
squirrel up a tree. I forgot about the pheasants along the south side of the
woods; Treacle nearly had one, and all three got the red mist.
As we walked I gathered a little litter. There was one
of those foil balloons on the ground, and the foragers had left quite a bit of
rubbish too.
After five miles we were back at the car. We came home
for a cuppa, then I popped round to the New Chimneys. Partly to thank them for
last night, and partly to arrange another Puzzle Club.
I came home via the co-op where I got us Belgian buns
for lunch.
Once home I had a little pootle in the garden, but it
was cold. I harvested dog dung, then turned off the pond filters for the
winter.
We had our Belgian buns for lunch, then I settled on
the sofa. With Bailey snuggled up next to me I set about geo-puzzles. One
seemed to be about perishable foodstuffs in the food hall of Marks and Spencer
but was actually about electrical resistance. Which is entirely the problem
with geocaching puzzles. I solved it and then strained my brain with a puzzle
which I first thought was about Michael Jackson, but I now think is something
to do with a series of mystery novels. I wasted ages on that one and eventually
compiled a list of puzzles I couldn’t solve… I sent out a message asking for
help from some of the people who’d hidden some of them. I got some hints… and I
shall keep thinking. If all else fails I shall ask for help at the next puzzle
club.
“er indoors TM” boiled
up a rather good curry which we washed down with a bottle of Argentinian malbec
whilst we watched this week’s episode of “Bake Off”. I told Facebook
about our Argentinian malbec, and got recommendations about other stuff I might
like… Personally I like the cheap stuff.
We’re now watching an episode of “Tempting Fortune”…
Call me a beast if you will but there’s some seriously epic chests being
brandished.
