I need a spouse....or a butler...or a concierge.

On ya mate!

I really need to get rid of more....my bedroom is so small it feels totally dominated by them. Actually, it IS totally dominated by them!

I may possibly be able to get one of them out into the passage.

THINGS!!!!

The blind man has come and fixed the blinds...the broom closet and really cheap and nasty wardrobe men are coming with said objects...the book man has come and ta ken the latest cull....the window winder people are coming on Monday...the windows and air conditioner are to be repaired in a few weeks.

I have gathered the contents of four of my storage baskets into one and am thinking I can get rid of either another bookcase or a storage thing.

Gradually order emerges from the maelstrom of chaos.

a blind guy fixing blinds. what a gimmick...

did he have a cane, or a dog?

Oh joy!!! Oh sing, ye angels, oh give forth thanks ye trumpets!!! (the strumpets can as well if they feel so moved).

For the Lord hath vouchsafed unto me a BROOM CLOSET!!!! Verily I say unto thee, there is no joy on earth like unto the joy of a woman who had hath not a broom closet, and now hath!!!

And lo, the vacuum cleaner hath entered into the bliss thereof, and also the mop and bucket, and the brooms and dust pans and brooms. And yay, the cleaning unguents and the cloths sacred unto the cleaning unguents have found rest therein; and also the laundry detergent and the bleach thereof; and soon to follow into that sacred interior the iron and, if the Lord allow, the very gardening implements!

And lo, the Lord hath granted me thereby empty bathroom storage space and I rejoice in the name of the Lord, which is SE Waites and Sons, long established on Norwood parade.

And in their benevolence, SE Waites and the Sons thereof hath vouchsafed unto me also a wardrobe, and storage space above the hanging rail thereof, and lo, I hear my clothes, long hung in strait and suffocating proximity to each other, so that I was even able to lose things therein, rustling in joy at the deliverance that hovereth now so close to them.

Praise the Waites!!!!!!

I care not...he hath fixed the blinds and though he swore mightily and was rude, to me he is as the Sun of the God in whom I believe not, for he hath let the the light enter by his means!


Praise the Waites!

if I was a blind guy fixing blinds in a cat house, I'd prolly swear a lot, too.

good on you for sun controlability...

be careful, Rocky....just sayin'....

I'll not be provoking the bunny tonight, thankee.

no need to get the claspers out...

one stands by

goggling

In Costa Rica, I found it puzzling that there were signs everywhere advertising "husband for rent" with a phone number. I thought it was a tad optimistic until I found out it meant "handyman."

You can easily, and cheaply get help for just about anything. One of the upsides/downsides to places like this I guess.

I have always found the BUYING price for husbands excessive....but even renting them here is steep.

Phew. I've been wrestling book cases, wardrobes, statues, DUST, books, kittens if you count them getting underfoot and interfering in everything I do and am about to do more bookcase and book wrangling.

Then comes the moving of the bags of rubbish long distances and wrestling the excess to requirements furniture and objtets d'art out onto the footpath.

A lazy day....but I have just now moved the ginormous...and I MEAN ginormous Indian storage chest in the living room and also the huge bookcase.....reversed positions, as a real estate agent suggested a couple of months ago when evaluating place for sale.... looks MUCH better!

Can I hoe into getting the excess furniture out?

Possibly...or should I wait til later when less people are about? Hmmmmm...

Edit: One bookcase dragged out....resting...

Another big bookcase hath met its fate on the side of the road.....also a bag of rubbish and a bag of clothes for charity.

I believe I am on the downward slope.....though back is muttering darkly.

You can put anything on the footpath rabbit, the scroungers will collect it overnight, tried it myself, got rid of lots of stuff.

Yes.....though not anything.....there is an old mattress and an old tv that someone put out a while back. I expect my stuff to be gone by Monday.

Nearly one am and I'm still truckin'......just changed around where things were being moved to.

This little diary is my motivator.......


Moved the most sacred relic....the cat tower! Woollies checking it out as we speak!

Is the cat tower: condo, co-op, or rental? How much do the cats have to pay for their monthly maintenance fees?

Owned....have you seen it? There's a photo on the kittens are coming thread....or google tall lotus cat tower, if you have any interest at all.

They pay in an excess of kisses and cuddles and amusement.....if only they....or rather Sebastian...didn't keep BREAKING things!




Oh my. I just bought slightly over a third of a dining table!

and the other two thirds???

Started to clean out the wardrobe in the spare room. Boxes of books that haven't been opened for the 12 years I've lived here - guess they can go.

Got sidetracked by old letters and photos.
