I've been sleeping a bit
better lately. I was woken this morning by the sound of the dustbin
men and the realisation that I'd not put my rubbish out. Oh well - it
will have to keep until next week. We came down to a house which
seemed very empty. Fudge is back with his mummy and daddy on their
part of the dog-share, and it's amazing how much I miss that little
dog. Which is exactly why I never wanted a dog in the first place.
I did a quick on-line
survey over brekkie and watched the sun come out. I had worried that
today would be wet. It looked promising. The most recent fruit of my
loin came to visit, and brought my other grand-dog Sid with her. He’s
a stocky little thing, and just as adorable as Fudge. I left them at
home and went out with Steve for a day’s searching in the
undergrowth for Tupperware.
We found some geocaches,
couldn’t find others, and realised some had actually gone missing.
One was quite entertaining – a section of dead bark had been
removed from a tree, cache concealed under the dead bark, and left to
be found. In the intervening month the tree had sapped around the
dead bark and incorporated it into its trunk making the cache utterly
irretrievable.
It did seem odd not
having a small dog in tow today.
The idea was to have gone
out for the morning; we came home shortly after 5pm. I went straight
out to check up on a geocache I’d hidden. On Monday I hid a
geocache. Yesterday it was reported as missing. Fortunately it
wasn’t, so whilst I was out I hid two more caches. Once they are
accepted I shall think about hiding a bonus puzzle cache; something
I’ve not done yet.
Home, where in a novel
break with tradition we had KFC for tea. Once upon a time I used to
eat that stuff on a weekly basis. Once upon a time I was nearly
nineteen stones in weight. We haven’t had KFC for over a year. It
was nice; but not really that special. I’ve not missed it.
And with my beloved out
at a congregation of the honourable order of candlemongers I found
myself home alone. So I settled down in front of the telly. The
living room is a lonely place without Fudge about…
