Ooh, it's suddenly getting cloudy out, and now we've got a 60% likelihood of one in the next hour
At lunchtime we had giant drops of rain from a solitary cloud which buggered off so it stopped.
This afternoon it sort of picked away with the same sort of drops though it got more & more overcast.
This, however, didn't prevent the 2nd trip to the dump today.
The glass cutter thingie from Wilko's proved as useful as any of the previous ones I've bought.
As for reducing the size of the panes, I used a claw hammer.
It seemed to work.
After much practice with said glass cutter thingie, I eventually persuaded a couple of bits of glass to break along the "dotted line".
Most of them didn't.
Hence the claw hammer.
Then it was time to take said glass and accumulated bits of wood from the Strangelove parents' house down to the dump.
Seeing as it's got lead based paint on it, I thought better of having some building oik burning it on the back lane.
The council can do it instead.
Having semiexhausted myself, and since it was raining a bit, I cut the lawns.
However I only 4 today, I couldn't be arsed to do the front two.
Thanks to the sparkies rewiring the Strangelove parents' abode, the power down to the garage & shed is cut off, so it was time to get the looooooong extension lead so I could clean the inside of the car.
Stone me, it's been busy in here since I posted that.
Lunch was some ancient chunks of beef that I found in the freezer having been mistaken in my assumption that there was some newer stuff somewhere.
The Model Railway collection of the late DrStrangelove Snr has been boxed up & removed from the possibility of destruction by the building oiks.
A number of ancient pillows and a couple of duvets are about to meet the tip.
Plus an eiderdown (remember those?) and a thing that goes over the top of the eiderdown.
I suspect that this evening's entertainment may well include "Ocean's Eleven(2001)" just to see how different that is.
It's odd that Mr Sinatra was the first actor to play "John McClane" later made famous by Mr Willis in "Die Hard", other than being called "Joe Leland" in "The Detective".
