I suppose I slept
reasonably well last night, but woke feeling rather run-down and
grotty. I wasn't on top form yesterday evening. I wonder if I'm
sickening for something?
After a quick spot of
brekkie I took "Furry Face TM"
for a morning walk. We went up past the railway station where someone
had chained their bike to the railings. There were many bokes chained
to the railings; this one had clearly been run over by something very
heavy and the wreckage that was left was fit for the dustbin. So why
on earth had it been chained to the railings?
We popped into the post
office to collect a parcel, then carried on via a rather convoluted
route to Frogs Island and home. On the way we tried for that new
geocache near Asda. Tried and failed.
Once home I settled
"Furry Face TM" as best I could
then went oin a little mission of my own. Firstly to the tip where I
emptied all the rubbish we'd loaded up yesterday. Then on to Matalan
for a new pair of trousers. And lastly to B&Q where I spend the
voucher I'd got for my birthday. I got a car full of ingredients to
make the garden better; I've been neglecting it recently.
Home again, where I
finally got going in the garden. I removed the old washing line and
put up the new one; another job which sounds a lot easier than it
actually is. And after a spot of lunch I unloaded the car and made a
start with a job I've been putting off for ages. Several months ago
we replaced the fence at the back of the garden; today I laid the
membrane and shingle. I'd worked out that I needed six bags of
shingle. I got eight. I should have bought twelve. I didn't have
enough.
I could have then
scurried up another load of rubbish for the tip. I could have mowed
the lawn. I could have made good the shed roof. But I'd probably
overdone it by lugging all the shingle about so I sat and watched The
Tomorrow People which I'd recorded onto the SkyPlus box. Another good
episode.
And so to the Wagarium.
The astro club had a committee meeting this evening, and as a prelude
to committee we'd been invited to tea; complete with a rather good
musical interlude. I've often wished I was more musical and listening
to the violin tunes has made me more determined to have a go at an
instrument. I *will* get that saxophone...
