Did not find GC4M7C4 Scouting About
The elder geokid and I had a search in all the likely spots we could find after attending her cousin's 2nd birthday party nearby. No luck for us today!

The Reason I Have 12 Birthdays
The ever-excellent Blackle Mori posted this about 18 months ago but I don't think it got the level of attention it deserves. If if you've never experienced birthday inflammation or known anybody who has, it's an eye-opening experience to hear a first-hand account of this unusual and definitely-real condition.

Found GCA2025 Where's 25? - Locationless Cache
Happy 25th birthday, geocaching.
I'm spending the weekend volunteering for a nonprofit I founded (it's almost as old as geocaching, at 23). We're staying in a hotel at N 52° 36.184' W 001° 53.869'. I've also gotten out to find a couple of local geocaches. -
I'm staying in a lodge in the Yorkshire Dales National Park to celebrate the eldest kid's birthday and we've just received a huge dump of snow, overnight. What was grass is now a thick white carpet of fresh powder. Sounds like a great birthday present for an excited kid I can just hear beginning to wake up...

Snow- covered meadow, uh a fence running through it, with snowy winter woods beyond.

I was sceptical when the forecast said there'd be sleet and snow this morning, but sure enough, it's just barely beginning to settle on the skylight of my attic bathroom. 🫢

Photo from the inside of a skylight, showing icy snow and a fallen brown leaf stuck to the other side. A reflection of a small bathroom sink can just be made out.

Found GC34G3G Coventry - Hertford Street
This checkin to GC34G3G Coventry - Hertford Street reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The rest of the family and I are visiting for my youngest's birthday to do a handful of fun activities. Geocaching didn't make the list, but that wasn't gonna stop me finding this QEF while putting …

Happy Birthday Matt
Matt's birthday wish is for people to blog more. So here's a blog post, which being my 14th so far this year certainly qualifies as "more"!

Found GC2WTGE 8~ NUDDSY MEGA RAMBLE
This checkin to GC2WTGE 8~ NUDDSY MEGA RAMBLE reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A challenging and courageous scramble by the eldest (who turned 10 yesterday!) and I (who turned 43 today!) up the slippery wet leaves to reach the GZ. I stopped to double check the proximity and meanwhile …

Found GC5TF25 Mystic Abbey
This checkin to GC5TF25 Mystic Abbey reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Out for a walk on my 43rd birthday, left the kids playing with their other parents in the (beautiful) ruins of the abbey or I hacked my way around to the GZ. Started searching at my evaluation of …

[Bloganuary] Live Long and Prosper
I'd love to live as long as I can do so in reasonable health, and I'm happy for that to be longer than I'm predicted to. But if everybody lived longer, what would that mean for the world?

[Bloganuary] The Gift of Time
The best gifts I've ever received have been those that take me out of my routine (or give me the time and space to do so for myself!).

It Takes Two
At the weekend, Ruth and I travelled to Edinburgh to attend a tango class for which we were in no-way qualified. We learned a lot, but mostly because we knew very little to begin with!

Ideal #2 (SMBC)
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
The SMBC comic that came out this weekend was perhaps the best birthday present the Internet could provide. -
The Diamonds, The Dagger and One Classy Dame
The celebration of Dan's fortieth birthday continues with a surprise (remote) murder mystery party!

How Not to use A Pizza Oven
Dan gets a wood-fired oven for his birthday and immediately uses it to destroy several pieces of cookware. Made tasty pizza, though!
