what's been happening?

As we are well into 2006, I'll keep my natter restricted to this year.

The year started off with no internet connection, we decided to change ISP's to BT Broadband so that I could use my new mobile from home. I've now got a BT Fusion Mobile phone. Which if you've got BT internet, will connect to the router by bluetooth so that I can receive calls over the internet, and get charged landline rates. After a lot of fuss we were finally connected towards the end of the month.

Before Christmas I organised Mr & Mrs Santa Hi-Jacks the Chester Event-GCR3BV. This was a TB swap event with a slight difference! All TB's had to be wrapped up, and placed into Santa's sack and everyone who attended had a dip. Well from what I've heard everyone had a good time.

I've started work on another two events and possibly a third. The first Cathedral of the Canals is a cache event linked to a boat trip which involves travelling on the Anderton Boat Lift I've already made the booking for the boat for the 15th of April. And have a local pub to check out before I submit the event for publishing. The second event will be North Wales 4th CITO EVENT, I'm waiting to hear back about that one, so no details as yet.The third one is still just ideas and might not get past the ideas stage.

This year up to now I've only been out to find one cache. Cache 22 GCRT2T by David & Rachel (Happy Landins). This involves four stiles and a railway crossing each way. A nice easy find, and I dropped of a TB and a couple of Traveler Tags a non GC TB. Which I collected at the Chester Event.

The car decided to pack in one me Saturday, I called out the RAC, who after a inspection informed me that there was a electrical fault somewhere in the ignition. Tell me something I didn't know(it just stopped suddenly, on checking the main fuse and seeing that it had blown, Nette went and bought 2 replacement fuses which both blew). After fiddling around for 10 minutes he informed me that he could not fix it, so towed me home. So now it's a case of waiting for a Auto Electrician coming in the morning (Monday). Hopefully it's not going to cost a arm and a leg. Time will tell.
