Snowing here too. Not settling, but it's proper flakes and that

[NickFitz]

Very clear skies here now, presaging the cold night to come. Looks nice though, with the sun gilding the tops of the trees

More Ercol chairs duly cleaned up & polished ready for donation to British Heart Foundation, along with a drop leaf table (the one I broke my toe on the foot thereof), and a "Lloyd Loom Lusty" half moon glass topped linen basket.

Ercol, you say? Whatcha got?

I still haven't gotten over my grandmother telling my Dad to take her old Ercol day bed frame to the tip. I had my eye on that and they had no idea of its worth.

Arty farty thing this morning. Actually one other bloke there for a change. Just got back from me walk in time, it's just started snowing.

Meanwhile on the 4th of May 2019 NF was smelling "perfumed" socks at Boring, before returning to consume the usual Saturday evening Chinese, presumably in Leics.

A Xogg OM. Is this a first?

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

It was a little delayed because I finally resumed the arduous business of putting the pencil pleats into the curtains, as it really is about time they were hung

One is now ready, and the other… dunno, maybe an eighth, possibly even a quarter done? It's a right pain, but I suppose it'll seem worth it once they're up

Yes, I think it was the first time I'd returned immediately after Boring - and of course the last for now, as a certain global pandemic got in the way of the 2020 and subsequent ones

I probably mistyped Ech.

The car earlier was a Renault Alpine A310. No way to know what's become of it as they never registered it in the UK as nobody here wanted to buy it, and when they did find a buyer, they only covered their costs. And to add insult to injury, the buyer didn't even want to appear on the show

And then the gold diggers seemed to be chugging along, though I was a bit distracted with curtains and sorting out dinner

And then I discovered that there's been a new series of Traffic Cops and I hadn't even noticed; so S12E1 of that was watched

Then back to the curtains. These are now just about sorted, being at least roughly pleated down to something near the correct width and with hooks inserted. But I'm tired, and it seems sensible to leave the fiddly business of perching on the small steps hanging them until tomorrow

I'm rather tired now, so I'm going to take to my bed and read another chapter or two about Octavia, the female Messiah formerly of Albany Road, Bedford.

Goodnight all
