Phew

My birthday was last Thursday. What a fabulous time I’ve had since then. The actual morning of my birthday involved a lovely breakfast in bed courtesy of Felix, Jaygo & Eirene followed by prezzies in bed! A tea pot (I’ve got into green tea recently you see), a bottle of VERY nice vintage malt whisky called coopers choice and a… Read more →

Hear be Earby

I’ve hid a new geocache today. Near the small town of Earby, where I work. I’ve called it Here be Earby. It’s only just been published / not found yet. There’s alsorts in it including a Moleskine notebook and a bit of historical referential significance to this legendary notebook, and a disposable camera with the instruction “take a shot and… Read more →

A fun packed weekend we’ve just had

We went en masse to our friends cottage for a Birthday bash. This turned into a lovely rosy glow of an evening with great home grown food, sloshes of wine and beer and a furtle of guitar strummage. Saturday morning allowed us the luxury of a mildly hung-over extended horizontal chill followed by a bimble into town with two old… Read more →

Hooked my Wii up to the internet last night. It’s quite good – weather channel, news channel and some strange global voting thing. This, however, stole the show; (the middle one…) Truncated content has never been so accurate.

Thornton Bizzle Whostle

Seems quite like that in a few areas at the moment. A general positive feeling. Big thoughts and love going out to Eirene’s dad who’s having a stay at Dublin hospital…. Read more →

Rain

It rained for about 20 hours non stop yesterday. Went to a wedding at The Crown Hotel last night. Twas nice – was knackered so didn’t do much in the way of fun and frolicks but had a lovely time none the less. I HID my first geocache yesterday. Farly close to home so I can maintain it. I’ve called… Read more →

Geocaching

Since I started geocache hunting a few weeks ago, the amount of interest people show towards the sport is brilliant. The most unlikely people are fascinated by it and want to give it a go. People often comment on things I’m up to – due to this blog – but geocache hunting seems has got you, dear readers, quite interested…. Read more →
