Mischief

The Silver Vixen is out for the day. She is at a workshop to practise some more free-motion sewing techniques. No doubt, on her return, there will be another fabric masterpiece.

The Gorse Fox was left to his own devices. Well, actually he left to his own and the Silver Vixen's device. He decided to see if her laptop was ready for the Windows 10 update. It turns out that, though registered for the upgrade, it hasn't yet received the download. The Gorse Fox spent some time tidying it up and left it running so that it could accept the download should it be sent.

Meanwhile, he managed to have a short chat with Cousteau-cub online. She's teaching yoga at the Pimalai resort again at the moment, but took some time out to visit the hot springs near Krabi with the Coventry Hobbit one day during the week. Photos look good and this may require a visit when we are over there. This got the Gorse Fox thinking and he spent some time looking at whether there was a sensible option for a few days in Chiang-Mai while we are in Thailand. This research, in turn, got him checking his various rewards points from the various hotel chains. This proved to be a little harder than expected as the notes he had regarding his credentials for the Holiday Inn Group proved to be inadequate for him to log on. Email has been sent to get things reset (the Gorse Fox suspect he has more points with them than any of the others at present).

The Gorse Fox mentioned his car was serviced during the week. He should point out that it was also washed. Last night, however, there was a very muddy rain shower and the car was looking dirty again. (That'll teach him - he should have put it in the garage). Anyway, overcome with burst of enthusiasm, he has cleaned and polished the car and this is now nestling in the garage. The car wasn't quite sure what had hit it... in fact the Gorse Fox wasn't quite sure what had come over him.
