There was a thick mist in the valley as I looked out of the bedroom window. Today I had set my target, and I could wait to get started.
The cladding I had to attach had to pass through the gap in the fence that I had to “modify”. There were a total of thirty strips that had to be fixed. However some of the fixings had to be on the other side of the fence.
Therefore the procedure was as follows;
Make two fixings on the first strip.
Pick up the electric screw driver and a screw, walk to the end of the shed, walk down the steps, down the slope, up a ladder, walk around the front of the shed, then down the side of the shed, on the neighbours side, and make the fixing. Then back again to add another strip.
I had to do this THIRTY TIMES, my poor knees were not happy.
But I did it, and most of the middle section, before I had to stop and get ready to visit my friend Rob.
He was due to travel to India on Tuesday so this was the only chance for us to meet up.
Rob was alway in my life during our time at Bath Art school, I blame him for leading me astray in every sense, every drama was his fault.
We lost contact for many years, but our orbits returned, and I guess we’re back to our old ways.
We laughed at our childhood exploits, once he remembered them, he prepared an interesting meal of Japanese mushrooms and tomatoes.
He assured me that they were safe and didn’t grow on trees. As I was a bit hungry, I took a risk.
Needless to say I didn’t die in agony, or at least yet, but I’m sure my digestion will deal with any strange sensation, and I will be close to a toilet.
Another Lifetime to go
