Someday the pain will stop...
So it's been 3 weeks or so since the last entry, and what an eventful time it's been! We moved, slightly illegally, into a new house, which then became our legal house, and then we have spent 3 weeks tearing everything to bits and building it back up again all on my poor strained back, hence the headlne of this piece! Actually, truth be told, today has been a very lazy day physically (first in about a month) and my back hasn't really been objecting too much, thank God. Wifey is off fixing Carson and doing family things I think, while it has been raining all day and I have been sat in front of the computer for 9 hours getting work done, which I have!! I finished the fucking list, FINALLY!!!!! Now all I have to do tomorrow is record the data, graph it, make my final sheets up and then corollate reports about each segment...Actually, that's a shitload of work, but once it's done, I can breathe easy for a day or two...
Got a message from RR today telling me that the big contract was going to be paying hopefully at the end of next week (rather than mid-end July, as I'd thought!) which is always nice to hear. I have to find two more folks to peddle it to and then I can relax a bit, but this payout will give me the room to be able to do that effectively!
Let's see...With the enormous deluxe birdfeeder that Wifey installed the other day and the 25 kg of seed we purchased yesterday, Tippy Hedron better bewareof our garden!!! We have magpies, jackdaws, finches, tits, swallows, blackbirds and a whole bunch more things all desperate to get at the seed. There is also a rather clever calico tabby from next door that was waiting on top of the shed for one to drop into his lap earlier today. Well, I can't have that, so sent Doodles out to frighten him away, but i admired the initiavtive there!!
Yesterday we bought a shower, a couch, a dining room table and chairs and Hot Fuzz. It was a good day. The table is small, but it looks nice and will do us fine for a few years. The couch is simply stunning and will really tie the living room together the way the current sofa REALLY doesn't...The shower is nice and powerful and it better work, cuz I am really starting to hate having to take baths to get clean. To relax and unwind, fair enough. But the fact is that to actually get clean you need running water, and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably very smelly. So there.
What else? I actually have a reasonable browny type colour to my skin (well the exposed bits anyway) from gardening, and I am loving it. We have, growing now: carrots, gooseberries, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, chard, olives, lemons, oranges, potatoes, garlic, strawberries, chives, basil and coriander. Soon to be augmented with raspberries, more taties and God knows what else!!
Wifey is home, so off I go!
