Doh!

What am I like ... Hubby went out caching and I was driving myself crazy trying to keep away from the treat box!!! Why do I do it????  VERY pleased to report though, that I did stay away, but, oh what a fight!!!!
Bless him though ... he brought a bar of chocolate back for us to share!  Why does it seem like it's a constant fight!!!! Bloomin' food!7

Big walk

Up early today, the Littlies off with their Dad for a trip to Cambridge, a game of golf and a visit from their Step Mum's parents... us Biggies went for a walk in the country while the washing was drying.

We headed off to Little Gransden for the 'Blondie Series - Rip Her to Shreds' circular walk - 8 caches, each with a toy creature glued to the lid that could rip you to shreds (crocodile, shark, lion, etc). After the heavy rain overnight, today was sunny. There was hardly a cloud in the sky, but it was busy with twittering skylarks and a continuous procession of gliders being towed aloft.

We stopped for lunch before the last cache at the Crown and Cushion pub which to our surprise served Indonesian food ~ I tried the Opor, a mild and fragrant yellow curry, Big Blue One opted for Chicken Satay with pickled cucumber and 3 dips including a chilli oil that could blow your head off with one drop!

We collected the last of the circular caches then had a look at the Gransden Post Mill, the oldest non-working one in England.

 All-in-all, we had covered 6 miles.

Back home for a quick cup of tea, then off to collect The Littlies and then to BA and B's for the evening.

Lie in!!!!!!

Bit of a lie in this morning! Bliss! I do like the feeling of not having to get up and rush off somewhere or need to do anything!
Pottered about, ate nuts! .. and more nuts!!!  (not good!)
Went for a 2 mile walk to collect some new caches, and find some we couldn't find last time as it had got too dark! It was very windy out there though! But a nice walk along a jolly good path!  LOL!
I prepped the ingredients for tomorrow's Magic Pancakes, checked Little Pink One's ingredients for tomorrow and had a lovely cuppa while Big Blue One logged our finds!
We collected our Littlies then went on to the In-laws and had a jolly evening with them. Sausages, mash and greens .. followed by the most beautiful lemon roulade (goodness knows how many syns!)  then to boot, I popped a few Aero balls too!!! What am I like!  Wonder what the scales will say tomorrow (apart from ouch!!)

Lovely weather ...

.. the Littlies went off on a surprise trip with their Father to London to see Jesus Christ Superstar, at the O2, on the train and because it was a lovely, bright, crisp day us Biggies went into town to look round the Italian market and popped into a photographic exhibition!
After lunch of salad, ham and baked potato we then went to gather a few caches round Alconbury .. a few miles which was nice as we met some other cachers on the way and between us managed to locate and retrieve a missing stash!  What a hoot!
In the evening off to the in-laws for lasagne, salad, summer berry pudding and a couple of milk chocolate aero balls! Naughty but nice!

Who put that there?????....

....... Hotel Chocolat has a factory outlet shop in the next town! Awesome! I LOVE chocolate!!!!
But oh so naughty!  Tee hee!
Still the florantines are only 3 syns each!
A walk through town, window shopping was nice though something awful happened around lunch time. An out of control car took out two pedestrians around market square!
We, by then had gone off to check a cache out of town.
Bit of a pain getting a migraine ... could of done without that!!!  (hope it wasn't the chocolate!!!)
Still, Little Pink One was out at her BFF's house so the rest of us flew in a curry for tea...
Salmon tikka, plain boiled rice and a bit of a naan ... No one was up for cooking ... me with my banging head and the two male members of the family suffering with colds!
Did get another bit of a walk when we went to collect Little Pink One!

Sunny Saturday ..

Up early, for a Saturday, and us Pinkies were in the park for 8:15. The sun was warm and the sky cloudless!
Bananna and toast with marmite for breakfast ... HEb.
Off the Littlies went to their Dad's for the weekend  ...
Us Biggies jumped in the bubbie car and zoomed off to Risby .. a lovely village where we gathered a few caches, had a drink and a cheeky slice of cake (9 syns).
On the way back we stopped at relatives for a quick coffee and chat ... and due to the time, we stopped at the beefeater for tea .. Chose a burger, didn't eat the bun, no dressing on the salad and jacket instead of chips!
