Mundane News

[Reynard]

This morning, Lexi and Mr Gingernuts were nose to nose on the drive, with Madam telling him *exactly* what she thought of him. I will be borrowing a trap next week and hopefully, Mr Gingernuts will become Mr Gingernutless.

I have made a chocolate cake, wrapped a birthday present, done a load of laundry, hauled wood, and loaded the car with the stuff I need for this afternoon's show hall set up.

Shortly, I shall have some lunch. I will probably have a couple of slices of toast with the leftovers of last night's chilli on top. Might grate some cheese on it too. Cups of tea will also be involved at some point.

Also, in really mundane news, my watch battery has run out. I'll have to go into town to get a new one after the weekend. All is not lost though, as I have a nice vintage wind-up watch I can use in the mean time.

My bath sealing duties have gone on hold as my sealant gun and other stuff needed to complete the job have vanished into the abyss that I call a garage.

So... job number one: sort the garage out, throw the junk away, hopefully find all the stuff I’ve ‘lost’ in the depths of the garage.

Job number two: ban everyone else in the family from entering the garage and dumping stuff anywhere. That way, if it becomes a mess again, it’s my fault.

I’ve been for a bike ride and stopped off at local shop. I might have bought some hot cross buns.

just remind me who it was that last week said... "hot cross buns are so last week"

Well I did my talk! More of a ramble really ! I had 13 people turn up and I managed to keep them asleep fo 15 minutes.

It was a bit awkward trying to do the talk in an "L" shaped corridor and I dried up several times thinking of things to say. Well it's over with now which ia a relief.

I have garage pixies as well and it’s incredibly annoying.

I usually move most of the junk to a location that only my wife will find inconvenient so she’ll then dispose of it, as she should have done in the first place.

These are for next week. I’m ahead of my time me.

Next time, bullet points written in bold uppercase on numbered index cards. Works a charm every time.

I have one of those too. Well, a sort of house-and-garage pixie AKA the female parental unit.

After pixie visitations, I can then never find *anything*

 

[Reynard]

Right, I'm off to go and set up a show hall.

Think the above would be better

throw the junk away,

Never going to happen

My swap from 700mm bars to 600mm might be a narrow too far, only time will tell, after the ride tomorrow, assuming the weather bahaves

I am beginning to think that Oops! Have lost my parcel ! The tracking device is stuck in Tamworth and hasn't moved for days!

It is torture waiting for something, hearing the doorbell and discover that it's your wife's parcel !

Thanks Bullets might have helped ! It was a bit of off the cuff type talk. I didn't know if anyone would turn up or exactly what I was supposed to talk about . I think most of my work was from 20 years ago, time has moved on and ideas about the past and archaeological discoveries have altered. Plus my memory is a bit faulty especially today.
Having done it I am a bit more knowledgeable as to what's required.

Noticed the brown bin had been emptied so went out and brought mine and my neighbours in, locking the garden gate after me. Shortly after the window cleaners arrived and asked me to unlock the gate.

The silver bin is still awaiting emptying.

A silver bin, I've got to get one of those....then I'll know I've really won at life.

ive just burned two hot cross buns, well when I say burned I probably should say incinerated, at least the smoke detectors work
