With
my beloved out for most of the day hawking candles to an unsuspecting
public I was expecting to be at a loose end today. The original plan
was to go fossilling in Folkestone, but due to non-stop rain it had
been decided to call the fossilling off.
Fortunately
for me the first fruit of my loin took pity on me and took me under
his wing. We set off in the Dan-mobile. First of all for fuel, then
to the market for a mooch. Ongoing rain meant that the market had
probably only a tenth of the stalls it would usually have. Which was
a shame as I was hoping to look for cheap trousers. And then we went
round to Argos for a curtain pole. We didn't have to wait that long
for Argos to actually open up. And once equipped with the pole we
went to the Fudgery where Cheryl boiled up some bacon baguettes (very
tasty!)
and we attached the curtain pole to the wall. There was a dodgy five
minutes when we felt we needed a hacksaw, but the urge soon passed.
There
was another dodgy five minutes when I found a nasty lump on Fudge's
head. I was quite worried; but it transpired that the lump was
actually dried gravy. And suitably relieved we adjourned upstairs
where we failed to sort out the television aerial and we made slight
adjustments to the laminate flooring. And having made slight
adjustments to the laminate flooring we started again and did it
properly.
Pausing
only briefly to watch episodes of "Fleabag
Monkeyface"
and "Dave
the Little Princess"
on the telly we looked out of the window. Having cancelled fossilling
because of the rain, the rain had stopped and the sun had come out.
So for want of anything better to do, we drove up to Sheerness to
have a look at the garden ornaments in Whelan's. Now he has a garden
of his own, the first fruit of my loin is keen to do something with
it. He started on a small scale with a couple of lions; but there is
talk of going back with my car (with
it's larger boot space)
in a week or so.
Back
to the Fudgery where we unloaded the ornaments and met up with my
beloved who had finished touting candles. And after coffee we came
home; scoffed, and collected the catalogues I'd touted out last
Wednesday. A reasonable return of catalogues this time. As for orders
- I haven't looked yet.
And
as "er
indoors TM"
set off bowling I carried on with my preparation for Tuesday's
interview. Here's hoping...
