Tis the season to be silly!

Not a great deal to report today, Tina and I went into town, but other than that it has been more packing. Before we went out I thought I would collapse my lovely, solid oak computer desk that Mike made for me some time ago. It has been in the same position since I moved here and I had forgotten just how heavy it is. Trying to cover and tape it to be transported I managed to send a coffee table flying complete with a full cup of tea! In my time here, even going up and down stairs, I have never pitched over a drink, I wasn't best pleased, and Darren and Tina's carpet cleaner is in Hornsea! Anyway, it is now folded and secured and ready to go.
I did try to make a start on removing the blind but couldn't figure it out so left it when we went to town. Tina had a hair appointment and I had a list of bits to get, after spending quite a while in the bank answering endless questions to get some money out. I have left my debit card somewhere so cancelled in and ordered a new one on Saturday. As it happens, they were very quick and it was here when I got home.
I was SO tempted to be really silly (who me, who'd have thought it) because there was a huge snow globe in the Brunswick Centre that you could have your photograph taken it!
I am sure it will still be there if I get into town again. I also got a little wind up musical Christmas tree, but sillier still Tina got me three reindeer in a clothes shop, I need more silly knick-knacks but they are really cute.
When we got home I packed up Tina's precious items in her display cabinet, then I thought I would see if I could fathom the blind. I cracked it and that is now ready to go with the fittings and screws. I also cleared under the bed, some biggish items there, but I am making good headway now. Some of it will be on it's way to Hornsea on Thursday.

  1. I suppose I’m partially to blame for the spilt drink then as you were packing away something I’d made. Hope the stain came out in the end. That desk is a few years old now!
    The snow globe is so you :-) You’ll do it, I know you will.......and so do you :-) I really look forward to seeing the picture. Now if you could get Darren or Tina in there with you, then that’d be extra fun.
    Love the little tree and the reindeer, they’re so cute. I hope you kept the boxes they came in so you can repack them straight away. Talking of packing, you’re doing really well with that. You must be living in chaos, but a very bare chaos! Wonder how much will go on Thursday.

    1. It is a few years old and been in use constantly.
      I was very tempted, so if I go into town again it is an odd's on chance.
      The tree is back in the box, the reindeer weren't in a box so wrapped up in bubble wrap.
      Keep stubbing my toes on things now!
