Today has been a day of work. Not just paid work but at home too.

Regular reader(s) will know that Friday is a work from home day. The amount of work required varies depending upon my customers' requirements. Today was a mildly busy day workwise. I caught up with some things that had been forgotten and started chasing people for additional information.

We visited Mater & Pater following their successful conquest of the Baltic States. They particularly enjoyed St Petersburg and Gdansk. I was presented with a Russian forage cap festooned with numerous badges and FW was given a new purse. Dad's still troubled by a sore shoulder that is giving him problems and is having problems with his hip and wrists. Maybe its an age thing but its all arrived at once.

This evening has been spent assembling the new wardrobe. We had a local charity come round this morning to collect some old furniture. To say that they were not the most customer orientated people is understating things by a factor of at least 10.

We didn't mind that they refused the old chest of drawers, they were rather worn. It was when the guy started bitching about looking at the old wardrobe in the bedroom FW started to get annoyed. "There's to much stuff in the room for me to look," said the guy. What do you expect when you've emptied the thing of a woman's clothing?

He looked at the fridge and declared it fine until he tried taking the cover from the back but couldn't budge it. I thought that the screws holding it on were a dead giveaway! Then he felt underneath and declared that the insulation was gone. What insulation?

I think that he was just unwilling to carry it down the stairs from the flat. The 2 young teenagers/schoolkids he had with him weren't much help.

So we spent most of this evening erecting the new wardrobe. As I write FW is cramming it full of rubbish. Sorry, her clothes.

Tomorrow we have a visit from the Troublesome Trucks to look forward to. Trainsets and football. Hurray.
