I will be - to the rubbish tip. I know! I'm shaking with excitement. Himself has got it all worked out. ETA at tip 1800 hours. Empty boots (two car job) 18:20.
First of all mind there was the small matter of deciding what should go and what should stay. The garage is chock-a-block with items from both daughter's houses. We are acting as a storage unit but with no fees attached. I had to stand over Jones and observe what he intended to discard. Goes without saying we had words. Don't be alarmed. Every precious stick, rod, plank, lump, sliver of wood that might come in useful one day remains in position as it has done for decades.
We were also the storage unit for kid's furniture which was not reclaimed when they returned from various spells abroad and "might come in handy " stuff.It all moved house with us a couple of times. When it came to moving to a different country, it had to be claimed, or dumped. "...but we don't have room for it" was the cry. " Not our problem now " we replied...
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
We were on the inside lane of a slip road when a lorry pulled in suddenly and side swiped us sending us spinning. He hit us again and we spun across the road. We are all OK. 31 has some fine slivers of glass in her leg. The lorry driver was OK too.
