Great Day

Went out this morning to the Swanwick Nature Reserve and we did the Flight Reservations geocache. Good cache, very easy find. Dropped off a number of travel bugs, one of which we’ve had since October. Shame on us. It was really good to get a cache under our belt again. It’s been ages since Sue and I have done a cache together.

Nice nature reserve. Must go back there when its less muddy.

Off to the gardens centre. Sue and I both said that we were going to have a tea/coffee there and MAYBE a healthy snack. We both arrived at the café in the gardens centre and just knew that we were going to have lunch there. It’s great when your relationship gets to a level where you know what the other is thinking and wanting.

The real reason to visit the garden centre was to buy seed potatoes, broad beans seeds and I thought that I might buy some onion sets. I’ve got seed but thought it might be easier and quicker to grow them from sets. Anyway a bag of them was only £1.49. In my great garden plan for 2007 I had planned to buy some first early potatoes as they take the shortest time to grow and thus when they are harvested I might get a chance to grow something else in that plot before the summer is out. However, we mostly eat potatoes in their baked variety and that means having main crop ones. So my great garden plan 2007 has already been altered, just one week after devising it. I will have to publish the plan on this blog soon, so you can all see what a great plan it is.

Back home. There is a website called www.openatc.com which displays aircraft flights in almost real time. I’ve enjoyed looking at it before but tonight was the first time that I have sat in the garden and tried to tie up the aircraft on the computer screen to those flying overhead. OK the computer was some 6 mins behind but once I got the hang of it, I was amazed on how good it was. Saw lots of nice aircraft which I will be putting on my aircraft spotting blog. I hope to spend more time on that programme tomorrow.

Was getting a bit cold outside, so I packed up and realized that I had just enough time to do tea and sit down to watch Harry Hill’s TV burb, one of my favourite programmes on TV at the moment. Then I nice evening watching the comedy film Over the Hedge, which I thoroughly recommend.

My friend Stu up in Loughborough has just had his, erm, manhood pierced and a ring put in it. On his blog he’d put on a picture of it but you had to click on a link to see it. I haven’t wanted to see it and so I have never clicked on the link. Why would I want to see another mans bits?? Sue got curious tonight and clicked on the link to see the picture. I was outraged. So used my work laptop to do it!! Lets hope they never so a search of PC’s at work an find that one. It would take a lot of explaining.

Good things today
1) caching with Sue again
2) Nice Nature Park
3) www.openatc.com

Bad things
1) Sue using my work laptop to look at porn.
