Found GCBX0R7 War Memorial #???? ~ Standlake
This checkin to GCBX0R7 War Memorial #???? ~ Standlake reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After liaising with the CO to get the formula fixed following my previous effort, the geohound and I came out for a drizzly walk in-between the downpours to have a second attempt at the FTF. …

Three(ish) Weeks In Spain
With exceptions for those of us who had work to do at the start or end, my family and I just spent three weeks hopping around the East of Spain, featuring surfing, a theme park, exploring, dodging the heat, and - of course - a total solar eclipse.

BeepAlive - keeping my soundbar from going to sleep
My dog ate the remote for the soundbar on my TV/media centre, and it keeps going into 'sleep mode'. So I wrote a software tool that periodically makes an inaudible noise to trick the soundbar into staying 'awake'. That's how a hacky engineer like me fixes a hardware problem with a software solution!

Dad Joke of the Day came to me early when some fellow dog walkers coming the other way said "Hello, gorgeous!"
"Ooh, thank you!" I replied, nonchalantly tussling my hair and striking a coquetteish pose.

I guess it's sweet that the dog has decided that I'm not to leave my home office without her noticing.
But when the naps right behind my wheelie chair I worry she's going to get her paws run over!

Found GCBPAKM Grab a seat and Take in the View
Sat in the shade with my panting pupper and almost immediately spotted this clever cache container. A great location and an imaginative container! Definitely worth an FP from me.

Found GCBPAMZ Not the Twiggist of finds
A good hiding spot for this type of cache, which the geohound and I found while on a walk this sunny morning. TFTC.

Thames Path 7
Ruth's completed yet another stretch of the Thames Path, continuing at what could literally be described as a glacial pace, and she's written another part in what's turning out to be a wonderful blog series to follow-along with.

Four OpenBenches
Despite Google making it harder for me to do so 🤬, I managed to add not one, not two, not three but four new memorial benches to the OpenBenches database during a dog walk this morning.
A particular excitement was adding my first bench with two plaques.
It's the little things. -
How kind of the humans who constructed this sofa to leave a perfect dog-shaped nest in-between the cushions. Our pupper is appreciative.

A satisfied but sleepy-looking fawn-coloured French Bulldog lies on a blanket that's slipping into the crack between two sofa seat cushions, forming a nest around her torso. Her legs hang, crossed, off the front of the sofa.

Found GCBMAMH #22 Northmoor Loop
This checkin to GCBMAMH #22 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. For a while I was looking way too high, but in the end I caught a glimpse of this surprisingly well-concealed container.
And that's the loop complete! Big thanks to the CO for setting this excellent … -

Found GCBMAM2 #19 Northmoor Loop
This checkin to GCBMAM2 #19 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My GPSr - and my eyes - locked on to a nearby gate post which I searched thoroughly before realising it wasn't the host: d'oh! Eventually found success while the doggo tried to make more sheepy friends. …

Found GCBMAJB #16 Northmoor Loop
This checkin to GCBMAJB #16 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. It's funny, I've cycled down the nearby back road countless times but never known that this footpath was here.
