Yesterday I was on the last day of the weekly four-week course thing that I have had to do.
And as you remember it was a tad hot yesterday, so imagine how comfortable it was spending the day in a room in direct sunlight with completely ineffectual air con (which only cooled a six inch area right by the out put vents just under the window)
Drowsiness soon beset me so I had to think of something to do to keep me awake and looking interested.
So did I start taking notes and scribbling an outline of my action plan for finding another role in Weird Inc?
No, I sat and made a list of every guitar effects pedal I could remember that I owned.
Now that may have done me no good career wise, but it kept me awake and made me look like I was taking an interest.
I have 18 guitar pedals by the way. Well I can only remember 18 anyway…
Finally got out of there and plunged into the boiling steamy hell of the tube system.
When I got back to the house, Jo said that the old double bed in the spare room needed to be got down stairs and put in the old music room as it was going to the dump.
Well I got the mattress down with no problems on my own, then we attempted the box spring. Even with the little rods removed between the two halves (so we could bend it in half and get it round the corners) it would not come down the bloody stairs.
Every time we tried it, it got stuck. And did I mention it was hot yesterday?
Three attempts at this and we are both wet through with perspiration.
The bloody thing went up the damn stairs so why won’t it come down!
Fucker.
Although there is a way to do it, if you happen to have three people available. But that would be too easy so tonight I am cutting through the mattress top and take it down in two bits. And we didn’t do this last night as there was a bastard long spring thing wound around the flat springs preventing us from separating it by force that took ages to get off.
Yes I am ranting. Sorry.
So probably another sweat bath for me then tonight.
