It’s a four day weekend.

And we took advantage of that fact to have a lie-in this morning. In fact I was so lazy I still hadn’t got dressed by four in the afternoon when I decided to follow the example set by my little furry friends and join them for a snooze.

The evening was mainly spent looking at watches on the Internet to find a replacement for mine which has been working erratically of late, and last night stopped completely for eleven hours. I can’t really complain, as I think it must be over seven years old.

I prefer divers’ watches as thet have proved more resiliant. Past experience has shown that I break normal watches very quickly. This time I’ve bought one with a mechanical movement. It won’t be as accurate, but with luck it might last longer. I also ordered a new Router for our internet connection, we’ll see how that turns out. I bought both items on Amazon as they let me pay in pounds sterling, which saves me paying bank charges.

To finish the day I relaxed with a beer (or three) while Ginger knitted and I studied backpacking and hiking books for potential hikes and ideas.
