Having spent years threatening to sell the tat we have
hoarded around the house, “er indoors TM” was up at
sparrow-fart this morning and (ably assisted by “My Boy TM” and Cheryl) off to the boot fair
to unload it all onto an unsuspecting public.
Seeing the dogs had followed her downstairs I had this idea
to walk them early before the woods filled with the sort of normal people who
infest the place at the weekends and Bank Holidays. However the dogs had
actually just moved from the upstairs bed to their downstairs beds. I turfed
them out of bed, and we drove up to Kings Wood. It was rather pretty so early
in the morning, and apart from a couple of people on their mountain bikes we
didn’t see anyone at all as we walked.
We were on our way home by seven o’clock.
We got home, put washing in to scrub, and had brekkie
before starting the ironing. As I ironed
and hung out washing I watched a film. I’d been meaning to watch “The Dark Knight Rises” ever since
it was released over ten years ago and I have to say it was something of a
disappointment. The premise of the film was that a mad villain was planning to
blow up Gotham City for two reasons. Firstly because he was a villain, and secondly
because he was mad. The film dragged on for over an hour longer than it needed
to, and I watched the credits roll with something of a sense of relief that it
was over. Sadly that was three hours of my life wasted… at least I got the
ironing done as I watched it.
I then booked a slot at the tip for tomorrow morning, then
went to the garden and had a look in the shed to see what I can take. Yesterday
“er indoors TM” found two poggered camping tables and there
was the broken pressure filter I’d found a few days ago. I found no end of
other rubbish that needs dinging too.
As I sorted rubbish so “er indoors TM” returned
from the boot fair. She seemed happy with her profits; I must admit I’d rather
not go boot fairing at all… so I hadn’t.
Within minutes of “er indoors TM” returning
so the rain started, which was probably for the best; it made me stop. I put
everything into the shed to keep it dry, then sat on the sofa aching from my
exertions. I’d seriously overdone it yesterday and working in the shed today
hadn’t helped.
I spent a couple of hours working on my current Wherigo
project. I’ve now done all the programming for the games of the Crystal Maze (Mark
II), and just need to program the end game. That should only take a few
hours…
We drove up to the town centre where we met “My Boy TM”
and Cheryl and went to Aspendos
for
a bit of dinner. We went for the “bit of everything” option, and in
having a bit of everything I had far too much.
I‘d not been to Aspendos before; I will certainly go again.
I’ve eaten far too much and have a belly ache…
