The band was playing at Junction 32 Retail Park to shoppers, and so very few people were hanging around to actually listen. There was no pressure on us at all &#8211; and that&#8217;s good because I struggle knowing people are there to hear us. Don&#8217;t deal with pressure well.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that was my day.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t find a cache today, but Mrs Pitts did in order to keep our streak going. There were a couple of new ones published and, since they were so close, couldn&#8217;t resist trying to find at least one of them first. She found GC4JFZ5:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This was more Mrs Cool than <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Mr Cool\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mr_Cool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Mr Cool<\/a>. I was sitting at home, trying to plan for the start of the new school year whilst Grubbly had a prior engagement with his band. Being a little bit bored, I decided to check my e-mails. Well, what do you know, a new <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Mr. Men\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mr._Men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Mr Men<\/a> cache only up the road &#8211; I programmed the co-ords into my <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Global Positioning System\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Global_Positioning_System\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">GPS<\/a> and apologised to Kit Cat for leaving her. Rushed up to it and was pleased to see a blank log sheet. Now to fill it in&#8230;I knew my name and was pretty sure the date was correct, but what time was it? No watch, no phone, no idea&#8230; I estimated at 14:30 and worked out when I got back home that it was pretty close. Possibly 5 minutes out. Note to self&#8230;pick phone up on way out! I was settled back at home when my phone bleeped &#8211; 2 more Mr Men caches published says Grubbly. I know thanks! TFTC and our 5th FTF in a week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All of this gives us another souvenir:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/11th-August.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21242\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/11th-august\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/11th-August.png?fit=320%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"320,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"11th August\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/11th-August.png?fit=320%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21242\" alt=\"11th August\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/11th-August.png?resize=320%2C480\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/11th-August.png?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/11th-August.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Day-11.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21243\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/day-11\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Day-11.png?fit=500%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Day 11\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Day-11.png?fit=500%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21243\" alt=\"Day 11\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Day-11.png?resize=500%2C300\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Day-11.png?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Day-11.png?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really liking how the patchwork quilt is coming along.<\/p>\n<p>And now, sleep.<\/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;
