Day 3:
Day 3 started out with some more time in the garden, after which we did a virtual dance class with M's dance teacher.  She was the only kid signed up so we just did a direct Skype call in our living room (through the technological genius of Daddy and the Xbox).  I was impressed by how much she actually engaged, and I proved once again how unfit I am when she made me join in.

After lunch we did some more painting, including more rainbows, while C napped.

We have been using a puddle suit to allow C to crawl in the garden without getting completely filthy, and in the afternoon M wanted to play outside again, for some reason I decided it was dry enough that C would be fine without the suit.  I was wrong.  She was filthy and soaking.  Lesson learnt!

Good toes and naughty toes


Note the use of the giant tv box as a tap dancing floor

It's only day 3 and I'm realising just how monotonous this is going to be if I just record what we did.  There aren't that many activities to choose from!  So this may or may not be updated every day.  Or it might just become a highlight reel, or possibly just a record of my slow decent into insanity.  I'm not going to spend too long writing/editing as a go because the point is not to write the best thing I can so much as just to vent all of my thoughts and keep a record for me to look back on.

Also feeling the need to keep a movie count, there's gonna be a lot of Disney these next few weeks. So, Day 3: 3 movies.  (PS. Disney + came out today, T very excited, M mostly confused)

23-24th June This week the temperature has shot right up and so we've had to be quite careful about how/where we cached.  So Tuesday we went and explored an old airbase which has been abandoned since the war and is now just some ruins in the woods.  It's a cool location that we never would have known about without geocaching and had the advantage of being heavily wooded and therefore not too hot.  The original route (placed 10 years ago) had 12 caches and there are 9 still active but of those about half haven't been found in over a year and are probably missing so we weren't expecting much.  We found 2 fairly easily and tried a third which has been found recently-ish but had no luck.  Total: 2. Running total: 77 Wednesday was supposed to be even hotter so we made sure to go out first thing before it got too hot.  C had outgrown her sandals and so I found some bigger ones on Facebook marketplace and used the excuse to go to a town we don't go to much....

26-28th June: The thrilling conclusion Friday it was 27 degrees so we were looking for a series of drivebys that we could grab without having to walk in the heat.  T spotted a route that looked promising but when we got there it turned out to be a fenced off, no access road.  The first one of the set was right on the road front though so I jumped out to go get it but no luck.  We decided to just drive home a weird wibbly way via as many caches as we could be bothered/find.  The first couple we tried were also no go's but we eventually managed to find 7.  Each time just jumping out the car into the heat for as little time as possible before retreating back into the air-con.  Total: 7.  Running total: 90 Saturday we went to the zoo with my mum and dad to see them for the first time since lockdown.  On the way there we pulled over and grabbed 2 cache and dashes, both of which we had tried before and not found.  Turning a blue face yellow is ...

17th-20th June: Best Day Ever We weren't particularly planning to go out on Tuesday partly because we've already done loads of caches on that day on the 365 grid and partly because it was raining but we weren't going to manage any the next few days and so we used a trip to the butchers to grab a couple of drivebys.  Total 2: Running total: 56 The next day we didn't manage to go out at all but T had to go to work (I know right - the excitement) and so he grabbed one on his way home to fill in that day on the 365 grid. Running total: 57 M found a cache all by herself   We didn't get any on the 19th but the 20th (Saturday) proved to be our best day ever.  I've been eyeing up a route of 15 caches around a village and out through the fields but I didn't think we'd manage it in a single day with a 3 year old in tow.  But we did it, we totally did it and I am still very excited.  We left bright and early in the morning, parrked at the church, grabb...
