His drabness
To most of you I might live a rather boring life stuck in daily routines. I won’t deny this.
The week is focused on going to work, picking up the kids, fixing dinner, TV and/or computer. This routine is somewhat discontinued by meetings of the environmental advisory board, the child care advisory board, the sustainability and fair trade group. I’m in all these groups in the delusion that things might change a bit and not some coffee klatsch of people (not having something better to do) which the town council can ignore. If I sometimes wonder though, certainly when I see what the town did – of better said did NOT – do when it was earth hour. I leave aside whether or not this initiative has any use – certainly when everybody starts to light candles instead – but it was striking that my town was the only one in the neighbourhood that didn’t switch off street lighting on main roads.
Anyway, we depart from the subject. WE aren’t any more exiting though. It starts with the punctual routine of dropping of son at the judo training, meanwhile do some shopping and the usual butcher, liquor store and super market. Then it’s time to pick up the son, unload groceries, fix dinner and drop the son at (music) keyboard lesson, wait ‘till it’s finished and go home again. In the afternoon, we go to the in-laws.
What about geocaching then? Yes, it does break out things, but it fits in the routine. After the the pie at the in-laws, I always try to pick up some caches. Same thing yesterday:
Sundays aren’t much different. The afternoon is granted for the scouts and thus also some geocaching. Depending on whether the girls want to join, it’s a tour or a single multi. Today, the latter happened and we attacked “Glorie & Vergane Glorie” GC1NGB7.
Don’t get me wrong. I do NOT find geocaching (or the caches themselves) boring or dull activity. In the contrary, I still find it an exiting diversion as the first time I did geocache. I guess I’m just in one of those moods. I remain a Grumpy Old Man, whether or not I stopped writing these two blogs.
