In the Groove

We just got back from a trip to the storage facility. That's the second deposit we've made. This time I took three small items of furniture,  a number of boxes of different sizes and the electric saw in its case.

While I was loading the car I had a conversation with the lady next door but one. She calls herself Mrs Bibi- which can't be her real name (though she's adopted it to the extent that it's on all the parcels we take in for her). I explained what I was doing- and how the the equity release thing works. She said that when we shuffle off our mortal coil her kids- who are now at the stage of kicking footballs around- might want to buy our house.

On our way home we swung by Sainsbury's and I put some books and videos in the Oxfam box.

I'm enjoying this.

Now I'm rewarding myself with a Belgian beer.

Ah, so it's one of those. I seldom see one like that, around here. Most are gasoline-powered -- which I thoroughly and righteously detest, the loud, stinky things. My neighbors are always amused when I climb up in the trees, here, with an old-fashioned pruning saw and have at it. Apparently, I'm thought a bit odd.

Yes, it's not a chain saw. It's a delicate, ladylike thing- only fit for delicate, ladylike jobs.
