That’s not my name, that’s not my name.
Hello to all you Peeps,
.
What a wonderful blue and shiny creation I found today.
God, it’s beautiful.
.
I woke up very early again, in dire need of a pee, so I arose and took care of business, and then just stayed up to enjoy the wonderfulness of it all.
Damn, I put my mug of Earl Grey tea down onto the settee beside me and it slopped all over and tea has run between the cushions.
To make things even more irritating , when I picked the cup up for a drink afterwards it dripped tea down my front.
.
Now I am viewing a pristine day whilst looking like a tramp myself, with a huge tea stain right down the front of my formerly spotless white vest.
Now, that is somewhat annoying, but I can take it !
Talking about cushions, have you noticed that when you go to look at settees these days you often find that the cushions are actually a fixed part of the settee and you cannot lift them off ?
What a stupid, cheap idea that is. Beware if you buy one because it is harder to get the various bits out from between the cushions if you cannot just lift them off.
Also you will find that with constant use the cushions will compress where you usually sit, so that you end up with some parts of the cushions so high that you cannot comfortably sit anywhere else than on the compressed bits, which makes it continue to get much worse.
Also, there is no way to take all the cushions off in order to move them into other positions and places on the chairs, to equalise the wear and the compression and keep it the furniture looking properly uniform and comfortable.
.
I now know quite a few people who have complained about this and have ended up buying a new set of settees and chairs. With removable cushions of course.
So just cut out the middle bit of that scenario and go straight for the furniture with the removable seat cushions ( and back cushions if applicable) and save yourselves time, frustration and a whole lot of money.
.
Now to the news. The neighbour who told me that my big avian visitors were jackdaws seems to be in the invidious position of being even lower down the scale of ‘people who can answer questions about birds on a pub night quiz’ than I am.
The smaller big birds that arrive, who are not jet black and who have a sort of darker circle on their heads are the jackdaws, and the really black , huge, big legged, magnificent ones are crows. So I was right !
However I have now generally lost my confidence about the knowledge base of the various people I meet in the Spar while buying my usual overpriced bits and pieces.
I feel that I shall need to get off my lazy arse and go down to the library and look it up in a childrens’ book with pictures.
There is nothing as good as the childrens’ section, if you just want to get the basic facts without lots of extra, complicated stuff, and there are always some nice big brightly coloured pictures to go with it.
I know for sure that I am as bright as your average child because I have researched various bits of stuff like this in all of their books over the years .
.
Or, I could ask a passing Gypsy about the crows, but where is a passing Gypsy nowadays when you want one ?
.
Well, I have checked my formerly pristine vest now that it has dried. It looks better than it did but I can still see the faint yellowy marks down the front.
I do not think I can be bothered to change it, and give myself even more stuff to wash, so I shall keep it on and only talk to people with very bad eyes for the rest of the day.
.
Have a good one yourself.
LOL
