Life...or Why my weekend went not as I expected.
So as my previous entry explained Dusty died on Saturday which was a rather bad start to the weekend. Once I had got my even keel back again I decided to continue with my plans for the day that involved a trip to Ikea. This trip was mainly to get hold of the Christmas stock that mum had informed me would now be in store.
I made a list with stuff both my mum and my brother wanted as well as my things, and after filling up on petrol was on my way. The drive was fairly pleasant if boring on my own, fortunately the radio kept me company. I got to the store and things were going alright until I got to the food store.
I was sorely dissappointed in the lack of food available from the Swedish Shop. Not only have they started selling their own brands (not a bad thing as such but it's not been fully implemented yet) but what they used to sell is in short supply. The only thing available in abundance was Glögg. No julmust, not even a single bottle despite it being available as a choice on the till. Grrr
I zoomed home annoyed... and just collapsed for the rest of the day, typing on my Herscher Project entry about mirrors.
We had a touching enterment for Dusty as it got dark before heading to bed.
Sunday was a hive of activity as K decided to pack away Dusty's space station and all the hamster food. If anyone needs hamster food (includes treats) and sawdust/bedding we have some left over and are happy to pass it on.
We then used the table he had been on to move the stuff that usually clutters the dining room table. I then got a phonecall warning me that midnightoak, lucian_albrecht and maviscruet would be stopping in later.
Already in the cleaning swing we blitzed the living room and made a trip to Homebase to pick up a new bookshelf (something we had been meaning to do for a while). A reshuffle of DVDs, games and books later and colour me surprised but we actually had shelf space left for any random books we locate.
I worked on the brake light to my car that wasn't lighting (due to rust) and noticed a peculiar motorbike across the road. It was orange and covered in Sheep. I took a photo as proof and midnightoak, lucian_albrecht and maviscruet can back me up. They saw it too.
That evening we then had two other friends round and they exclaimed over how neat the living room was... a bit too emphatically if you ask me. We played chez goth for the evening and chatted which was lovely. Then I went to an early bed for the start of my two weeks of Early shift.
