A significant day

Last Sunday (2nd March) was a significant day for us for two reasons.

Firstly, we claimed our first ever first to find. The cache was Ted's Sports Box (GC19R86). Mr S was checking our email, and found that there were several new caches available. Ted's Sports Box was so close to home we could have almost walked there. However, we wanted to get there ASAP to try and snare that elusive FTF! So even though Ms S hadn't yet finished her morning beauty routine, we jumped in the car and headed off. We managed to get past the cricket-playing muggles and a couple of walkers to find the cache. When we opened it we were very pleased to see a blank logbook. After signing the log and taking photos, the other significant event occurred.

Mr S dropped to one knee and asked Ms S if she would like to become Mrs S (but in slightly more romantic terms than that). Luckily she said yes, because we'd bought the engagement ring the day before. She knew a proposal was coming, but not when or where. I guess we can be added to the list of geocaching wedding proposals.

We went shopping today for an engagement watch for Mr S, and came home with a nice Tissot piece. Very posh!

We've been listening to Sonny and Sandy over the past couple months. When Mr S first found the Podcacher and Geotalk podcasts - I couldn't believe it when he said they went for 30-60 minutes. What on earth could they talk about?? But now I'm hooked, and have started listening to Podcacher's archive from their first show in 2005. I've been spending 2-3 hours a day in the car to/from work lately, so they've been great to help pass the time.

I have been manually downloading each show from the blog, getting a few at a time .... but almost always end up with half a trip with no shows left to listen to, and nothing else at hand either. I just discovered a big bonus - how to bulk download all the all old shows - see here. We've now got all of 2005 and 2006, and I'll save 2007 for our off-peak download times. When they're done, I'll catch up with Geotalk too.
