New cache, blossom and the little monster

Busy, busy, busy!!! My second cache, the one that is a multi-point one in Ber and up to Viragos, has gone live early this morning. Here is the link to it:

The story was frighteningly similar to what happened two days ago to the first one: kerticsorbi had beaten Pilis50 to it. This time I had a word with the first guy, as I directed him to my house for his first finder's present and we had a cup of tea and a chat. He seemed quite normal, even though we imagined him an absolute maniac finding the one at Ordaspuszta in the middle of the night. It turns out he's an accountant and he had a deadline for submitting some accounts which he didn't finish until 1am. At which point he decided that he might as well go for it instead of going to bed. Mad, I know, but this is geocaching, not exactly a sane pursuit! :-)

Spring has definitely arrived today, the air was warm, balmy and the blossom glorious in the garden.




After the happy cacher, owner of TWO red number 1's, departed I had a call from my favourite little overseas monster on Skype. We had a nice long chat, including Grandad this time as well and we all were in a very good mood. I have watched one brilliant example how to handle a foul tempered toddler who is given to getting his own way but not this time. He pinched his Dad's wallet and when Daddy (who is usually a soft touch for most things) sayd no, bloodcurdling screams resembling two jet engines followed. Daddy was adamant, but very calm and sweet, so eventually said little monster gave up and carried on playing peek-a-boo. The classic case of the battle of the wills, which you don't want to dominate your life, but occasionally you can't give way and he is bright enough to know when the 'no' is really meant seriously.




Our sojourn finished with a fashion show of hats, which really freaked me out in giggles. The black model belongs to Daddy, which was taken in revenge for not having his wallet, the second one is his own, which was bought in the sales for about $8 in readiness for next year. I have always said that the Canadian branch of my family are real life artists. They always buy good stuff, but never at full price. Or hardly ever, anyway.

Must go now to check if there were any further finds on my caches. This is such fun. You don't have to go anywhere, just watch from home and enjoy. By the way, I have already come up with the idea for my third cache, but I'm not letting on until I have done the research, but that'll be good too.
