Today is a Monday. Yay (rhymes with Monday). Must be a day of poetry and romance. I imagine. Not sure any more poetry will be forthcoming though but we are planning on doing things together this afternoon. Mainly moving one of the freezers from next to the garage door into the utility room. It will make it a lot easier to access bags of frozen peas and ice cubes. I daresay other things as well. Frozen fish for example.
My golf clubs are moving to the space vacated by the freezer which will make it a lot easier to tidy the rest of the garage as you might imagine 🙂 The only thing about keeping the golf clubs in the garage is that I don’t keep a garage key on my keyring which I like to keep minimalist. Front door key, Anne’s spare car key, the Total Fitness fob and similarly the Coop fob. I’ve never understood the big bunch of keys concept. It would make sense to have the fobs on phone apps but I’ve never got round to doing it. I assume it is possible.
Latterly whilst the workshop was being built/renovated we’ve been using the front room and conservatory for storage so the golf clubs have been happily living next to one of the sofas. That is a state of play unlikely to remain acceptable to THG who runs a tidy ship (and garden). Today the clubs move to their new home by the garage door. Right next to where they used to be. Tidier.
On the wireless the bloke doing the weather forecast billed today as the last day of summer. Hurricane someone or other is lashing its tail bringing rain to some parts for the rest of the week. Hopefully the harvest will by then have been safely gathered in. We have had a good summer. I am minded to watch the Dad’s Army episode where they help Godfrey’s friend bring in the harvest. There is also a big football game on the telly. Nuke-arstle v Liverpool. Shud be gud. It was noted by THG that it clashed with University Challenge but the wonders of modern media tech means that we can watch both. Yay (rhymes with Monday).

Three twenty and the jobs for the day completed. Can’t add “ahead of schedule” to that as there wasn’t a schedule but I’ve received the metaphoric pat on the head/cursory acknowledgement that that’s the lot for the day and am now chillin on the deck with a cold drink. The weather, as foretold, is luvly. Poifect.
The garage has had a bit of a makeover. Not a complete makeover but a sufficient swing on the tidyometer to warrant postponing the rest of the job until after Hannah’s wedding which is starting to come to the fore of management thinking. All I need to do there is buy a shirt and practise my speech. After all, we don’t want to have to use notes do we? I also need a haircut which is planned for when I am in London a week on Tuesday. I am actually desperate for a haircut but it is all about timing innit.
Now playing Stubby Kaye, Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat. One of the all time musical greats.
Will do some packing in a bit. Not much to do. Just taking a short three centre break in Yorkshire. Will need to brush up on my Yorkshire thanose. Need to be able to make myself understood and similarly know what the locals are saying when they ask me what I’d like for a starter etc. I wonder what’s Yorkshire for poppadoms.
