Blog Name Change...

Hey Peeps!

So I have been thinking lately... that I'm going to change my blog name... so that my blog name matches my blogspot address.. I also think that Caz Monkeys Around would be easier for people to remember than just Monkeying Around... and I think the narcissistic part of me just likes that it incorporates my name! :D

The main reason really is so that my blog name and blogspot address are synonymous.. and Caz Monkeys Around is far more unique than Monkeying Around...
xx Caz
I'll make the change in the next couple of days... so don't fret if you think I've disappeared from your blogger reader... I've just moved on up the alphabetical order a little bit!!

[edit] Ok, I thought I could just change the header on my page, but it's gone ahead and switched the name.. so I'm just going to go with it.. Welcome to the new blog! What do you think of the new font?? I'm still undecided...

Geocaching!

Howdie Loverlies!!

So at the end of October Mr N & Ms B came to visit us from Bristol and they brought with them a "Geocoin"... we were told that this coin was on a mission to visit as many Police Stations as possible.. ummm.. ok!?! We managed to get its photo taken with an old Police Box that looks a bit like a tardis, then we took it up to Pitlochry and took its photo with the local police station... Mr N then wanted to drop off this coin at a Geocache by Edinburgh Castle...  so one night after dinner, we went a searching for this "cache"... bear in mind, the mister and I really had no idea what these crazy people were on about!!

After a quick review of the map on the website I got us in the general vicinity... then we used the GPS to get us in the right area and using the clues to get us in the right spot Mr N and Ms B went a foraging... After some rummaging around behind some 'big rocks' Mr N declared he'd found it! He produced a click top container with a log book and various little tokens inside.. they dutifully dropped off the Geocoin, signed the log book and replaced the cache to where it was found.. Mr N was rather disappointed that the other "trackables" logged on the website weren't actually in the cache.

So this was Geocaching?!?! The next day while the mister was at work, Mr N, Ms B and I went for a walk up Arthur's Seat to check out the view and take the opportunity to find another cache... this time I tried to play along on my own phone.. tho to be honest I still left most of the heavy lifting to them and just followed along!
