Good morning all. 5.5 - much more respectable.
Had a great morning with old friend, laughed ourselves silly and forgot all about the evilly heavy hebe which still narrows the drive...She is coming over in a month to stay overnight which will be great. Life went a bit downhill afterwards when an old boy whose (very overpriced mower) I had seen turned up on my doorstep. Wasn't pushing his sale really but did subject me to an hour and a half of his divorce, bankruptcy, and general woes...
Had to do something positive to counteract the mood induced by being sympathetic so heaved trailer out of mud where it had settled, sorted out the rubbish which had been carelessly thrown in, washed it out, blew up its tyres, greased and re-packed it together with the assortement stored in the woodshed. At the tip a lovely young chap, obviously 100% on top of his job despite a degree of intellectual limitation, picked up my limitations on climbing steps to the big skips immediately and unloaded the lot with a big smile. Large thank you uttered came home very cheerful and tidied up the residual wall stone into a neat pile...I'm a bit stiff this mornng!
Weather a mix of blue sky and huge clouds. Sky would make a geat backdrop to a dramtic oil painting. Nothing planned except enveigling neighbour into attacking the hebe. Kids now not coming until Wednesday night as have, on my insistence, to stay home and attend openday for house they fancy. Looks a splendid do-er upper. Fingers crossed they get it as they have buyers and it is in the right village.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
