Which is great because the past year has mainly been focused on work. It&#8217;s fabulous to spend the time out and about have a break from thinking about my job.<\/p>\n<p>As I have posted before, there is a calendar log showing which dates we have cached on. The plan is to fill that as much as possible this year. So we&#8217;ve identified days that we need to go out on and simple caches that we can find&#8230; hopefully. This approach has meant that we&#8217;ve found 26 this year.<\/p>\n<p>It has also meant that we have made time to go and do it, clearing days such as today to go out to cache rich places. 9 were found today in and around <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Keighley\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Keighley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Keighley<\/a> &#8211; a place that is brilliantly quiet on a Sunday morning!<\/p>\n<p>Band has been lovely once again. I&#8217;m currently on my own as a percussionist at <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Grange Moor\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grange_Moor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Grange Moor<\/a>, my colleague is not very well at all. This makes it tricky. Most music requires two players, kit and tuned. I am by no means a kit player. But I&#8217;m doing my best. It&#8217;s quite nice in fact to get a chance to play kit as it&#8217;s the only time I do get to play it.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s currently snowing. It has been cold all day, but actual white stuff is falling from the sky as I type. Thrilling!<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0;
