Gravity and other Myths
Mar. 3rd, 2007 06:42 pmThey arrived after midnight last night. I went down to show them where I lived so they didn't have to hunt for the house in the dark and found my sister sitting in the car while my brother-in-law peed over the edge. Some time later, after pumping up the airbed and vaguely awake conversation, we all retired for the night once more.
My brother-in-law is a rather nice chap, if rather blokey and not at all geeky. They brought down my last three boxes (I have pirate lego again!) here, as well as a bbq and gas bottle and he was surprised when we went and helped him to bring up the boxes. My sister, not feeling well, stayed in the house, reading M&B in a chair.
This was after he burned all the gorse. He wanted to burn it and reckoned that it would be easier and faster than taking it to the dump. He was wrong on the last count and probably wrong on the second, but he burned the entire bag of gorse we had left and so we have a patio again! He also managed to melt a hole in the tarp, but that's okay. The lounge is still cooling down.

maudlinrose made cupcakes that had geranium and orange peel icing and were so very nice that they're practically all gone.
I have lots of stuff again: my childhood tea-set, of which the teapot would do a nice cup for one now; the china doll my Gran made to look like me (red hair, blue/green eyes); cards, photos and random memorabilia; five years worth of high school ID photos and magazines; two wood money boxes and a gonk made in three years worth of woodwork classes; assorted figurines now discarded; pirate lego (all except the big ship, which was already down here); and, of course, lots of books. I will be discarding about half a dozen and the rest I have to find a home for. Considering that I already needed a new bookcase, I am now in dire straits and shall visit the Warehouse earlier than I had planned to get another one that will hold hardbacks, since that's what I desperately need room for, even more so than the paperbacks! Of course, I have to update my catalogue with all these.
We are planning to go down to see the free Fringe Festival thing called Gravity and other Myths, which apparently includes fire and circus acts, just what I always wanted to see. If my sister isn't feeling well enough, we'll come home, we can feed them (the more they resist our food the more I want to make them eat) and I'll go see it another night.
