May Day
It was typical bank holiday Monday weather, but we decided to go out and do what we’d planned nevertheless. We currently have several geocaching travel bugs and the idea is to move them on fairly quickly, so we’d planned to do a couple of caches in the morning and send some travel bugs on their way (they have goals such as places they want to visit so you also have to find the right type of cache for each). We revised this down to just the one because of the rain - a “drive by” cache that didn’t take much traipsing in the wet, but still got us out exploring a new area. We went via Norfolk County Cricket Ground so that we could take a pic of the cricketer travel bug there, then found the cache and dropped him off.
Afterwards we drove into Norwich to park (bad mistake, car park cost us a fortune for the afternoon!) and went to Norwich Castle. They were running May Day activities with a dragon theme. M and I made scales to decorate the dragon and we looked around the castle keep and went back through the Boudicca and Saxons galleries to show them to A.
In the evening A had some stuff to finish for work today that he was trying to do on his laptop, except his laptop is on its way out and kept freezing and allsorts of frustrating things. While he was working on that I was redoing our gardening blog and sorting out old photos onto Flickr. L had gone to bed OK just after M, but woke about 10.30pm and just drowsed on my knee. When we went to bed he decided to wake up and was bouncing around the bed for a couple of hours, finally nodding off about 1.30am. We were shattered! Not sure what set him off, but I’m going steady on the freshly ground coffee and the chocolate today just in case!
