Un sandwich de bacon est consumee, or words to that effect. And a bit of toast. The most important meal of the day especially as this morning we are pointing the chariot south to deliver a bed to Hannah & George’s and will need sustenance for the journey. Basically if we are to stay at theirs we have to have a bed so we have to take one with us 🙂 It’s a three hour trip. Now you know.
Outside it is a classic wet British day. I don’t mind this. I have a raincoat although the glasses are a bit of a hindrance. Not too bad if I wear my Tilley hat. Handy come rain or shine, a Tilley hat. The instructions tell you to wash it periodically but I’ve never washed mine. It’s not a fashion accessory, it’s a useful bit of clothing when on an adventure.
In other news our DAB wireless set appears to be on its last legs. It’s a posh Richards job but dates from the early days of DAB services in the UK so we must have had it a while. The FM bit still works. I still have the Ferguson radio I got for my sixteenth birthday. The aerial is broken but it still picks up radio Lincolnshire especially if I attach a coat hanger. Not that I listen to it v often. I might move it into the shed.
Now listening to Radio Cymru on BBC Sounds. Bore Sul with Bethan Rhys Roberts. This is a v rare occurrence. I should listen to it more often. Quite relaxing although I’m not really listening to what they are saying. It’s mostly bad news. Just like most news type programmes.
Upstairs THG is moving around doing a few final bits and bobs before the trip. I too need to pack. It’s just for one night so not much to stick in. They have a kitchen sink.
This is an interesting one. Would you go and stay with someone who didn’t have a kitchen sink? It would be a real faff. Presumably they still have a dishwasher otherwise how on earth would they get the dishes clean? Honestly! There’s the disposable plates option but this is not very environmentally friendly, unless they were compostable. Still not ideal.
I don’t know the answer other than to buy them a kitchen sink. Christmas present maybs. You’d probs have to throw in the installation unless you bought them that for their birthday which is not ideal as there would be a gap between receiving the sink and being able to use it. Unless you bought the installation first but that would spoil the surprise. They would know there must be a sink to follow. Be easier to buy both at the same time and call one of them an advanced birthday present. Would be a bit over the top to give both sink and installation as a Christmas present. Let’s keep it sensible.
Some people would give their eye teeth for a kitchen sink for Christmas, especially if it came with a kitchen. I know I would. Actually no I wouldn’t. I already have a kitchen sink, and a kitchen, with all the gadgets I could possibly ever need. Anyway who brought up the subject of Christmas? It’s only February, for goodness sake.
