The weather has been horrid today wet, so cold wet rain as well. Apart from putting stuff out in the bin I have stayed indoors. Chatted with .Anya his morning and we had dinner at one today as Tina had afternoon services. I had found suitable small boxes yesterday for Anya and family’s pottery pieces. So they are packed in boxes inside a bigger, well padded box! I taped that up today and then wrapped it in brown paper, so I am fairly confident Thayer will arrive safely. As long as the weather is reasonable tomorrow I will get them sent.
I emptied the large storage box that Mike made and I painted many years ago, probably getting on for thirty years in fact! But still in pretty good shop so hopefully I will find a home for it.
The things that were in there are now mostly packed, although there was some sorting and discarding too. I seem to have done a lot of packing and still have some to do, where on earth did I keep it all!
I sent for a map of the Birnam which arrived yesterday. It is laminated and folds down to pocket size, so I will be able to find my way around in my new area.
I have packed another box and now I am trying to create some order in my rooms. Throw down is on later, we enjoy it but preferred the stand in presenter a couple of series ago.
It’s not been nice here either. Staying in is the best thing to do. Your days must all run into one long day. Packing, cooking, cleaning and charity shops. You’ll be glad when it’s all over! I really do hope the pottery makes it down here in one piece. The packing should be fine, you’ve had loads of practice 😊
ReplyDeleteThat toy box does bring back memories. I can still clearly remember the day I made it. I’ve always liked the painting on it too. We made a good job of that. Hopefully it’ll last for many more years yet and still be useful.
That’s a nice little map. So much better than those large OS maps you get. Slightest bit of wind and they’re over the nearest hedge.
Enjoy Throwdown. I don’t like the female presenter either. The stand in, Ellie I think her name was, was so much better.
Have just written a reply to this on yesterdays post!
