DON’T HAVE A BAD DAY - STAY INDOORS INSTEAD

there is a lot to be said for stayingindoorsification. for a start the weather is better and you don’t have to wear a hat and scarf and gloves; although that was not strictly true of some of the slums in which i have lived.

outside is not a thing that i have experienced today. i just let my electronic tentacles spread out across the world and soaked everything up from the comfort of my armchair. if you don’t have to go out when the weather is grotty it’s a grand feeling.

my oldest friend ever, lordhutton, found a cache today without using a GPS. this is good news because if anyone was meant to geocache it is him. he travels the country in his rubbish car causing death and carnage in his wake and any hobby that means he gets out of his WMD to look under shrubbery can only be a good thing. he bought a garmin eTrex off of eBay today but he wouldn’t say how much for. oh well, while he is scrabbling around for tupperware boxes the rest of us will be safer crossing the road.

another thing what he done, right, is he opened a blog page. quite how he done it i’m not sure because he is even less technermological than i. if i ever understand how to enlinkify i will but until then you will just have to ask him y’selves.

another good thing was the appearance of ‘katie from york’ in the utterly fab chatroom at simonG.org. poor katie could only speak in txt which was a shame because she was welcomed into the room. because i am a nasty piece of work it was to my great delight that i saw the room turn on katie like a pack of highly intelligent hyenas. the chatroom has unspoken rules and katie transgressed all of them in about two seconds. the most excellent paulV discussed this in his blog the other day when a rude amerikalander called pramwheel failed to pass the chatroom test. there’s something just kicks off in me when offences of this nature are committed. come on you white corpuscles! there’s a germ!

i’m going to have an antiparty. now, i just have a crappy little flat but i thought it might be an idea for people that i trust who are of a geocaching/simong nature to take advantage of my floorspace to get together and perhaps go out and do some of the local ones (perhaps even the one that i set, ‘narnian gateway’) and then meet up in the pub for general whimsicallity and humour. i’m thinking fri/sat/sun come and go as you please kind of a thing. let me know what you think.

oh, my idea of an antiparty is no dancing or sillybollocks party stuff. it’s just an offer of a bit of floor for likeminded individuals. bring your own everything.

sorry about my rant yesterday. i love being emulated but not being copied. there is one particular person who is copying me and i don’t like it. get yer own style mate and my apologies to anyone who felt that they were caught in the flak.

grub stats: haddock AND cod with boiled new pots and spinach
music stats: lemon jelly and etta james again
book stat: ’starter for ten’ by david nicholls
swig ‘n’ fag stats: well, what do you think?

if you have to go to w**k tomorrow i feel deeply sorry for you. but one day, dear reader, you won’t have to any more. think about it.
