On instructions from my little nest of vipers, I spent the morning sorting out the garden shed as she was finding it difficult{?} locating her desired garden tool amongst the clutter of kept just in case kit.
I can relate to this as, as time goes by, the accumulation of just in case kit transforms the shed into a walk-in version of the hoarders kitchen draw.
Therein is stuff remaining from every project done since we got this drum. Everything from bits of plumbing stuff, electrical bits, gutter stuff, wood floor and ceramic tile laying bits and the mandatory four tins of paint wot are now four tins of hard skin.
I done did as instructed and ended up with six large bags and three items too big for bags. Into the car and deposited at the local council tip.
And why not? Not a thing I’ve ever needed over the years nor ever will. That is until this time tomorrow...
Anyhoo, remember the Vini Vici dancing clip? Ran into this the other day. Pretty cool. Go on, give it a try, it needs the views as it’s languishing on a measly sixty-two million views. Love the comment; “Roses are red, violets are blue, when I listen to Astrix the neighbours do too.”

Mac,
I have to say, I find the garden shed a strange place to keep colanders.
I get the feeling that you may be watching me - as I'm also in the process of de cluttering, except that my 'garden shed' is a 16' x 12' home built wooden workshop, fully equipped with electricity, radio and phone.
I have some builders coming in mid April, and the preparation for that is like a game of musical chairs - clear the workshop to make space for all the stuff from the kitchen, whilst the spare room and living room are cleared into the bedroom.
Living room (after I strip the wallpaper), kitchen and spare room are being completely gutted, floors up, ceilings down. Plastering, tiling, plumbing, electrics, doors/frames replaced - everything. I'll be eating and sleeping out for a couple of weeks.
Ripper,
Watching you, you say? Not really, just reading your WhatsApp messages as they become 'public'...
As for eating and sleeping out, I thought the answer was simple - move a bed to the shed. Oh, it's going to be a tad cool next week.
Mac,
Ah well.. at least at the end of those two weeks I can declare the house finished after 5 years of hard graft. That's if I don't freeze to death in my sleep. Its a shame that the downstairs involves tasks that are too big to take on myself, so I might as well hand the lot over to professionals and get it done quick.
Watch out for the Whatsapp message where she's begging for it and describing how wet she is. I say it serves her right for leaving her umbrella at my house.
Ripper,
Good choice - get it done and enjoy it.
Missed that message. Very clever, nice one.
Nearly spelt that 'cleaver'...
