Hi Gang, I owe you all a big apology for not following up on my last post.
(I'm the first to belittle anyone who does similar, so set your lasers to "stun the ode crock" and let rip.
Side note for the uninitiated: As you progress in years your priorities sort of change a bit,
it's not a very noticeable event or even an action after much deliberation and thought, it just sort of happens.
Consequently, what was a MUST yesterday may not even make it to the "what's on for today menu".
As a result, things that really need your attention are left undone.
Jobs that require a bit of planning never get off the drawing board or if they do they've waited a long time to do so.
Over the last 12 months I've been 'sorting out my shed',
what this means in reality is moving stuff from one place to another, usually followed by the phrase "I might need that, or that'll come in handy".
As a result nothing gets shifted, the shed is still a mess and wifey's tongue is justifiably still as active as it ever was.
My biggest problem is: (and I'm certain I'm not on my own here) Being a lover of anything quirky I tend to keep spares for everything, even after the beast has passed. I don't know what brings us to do this but I have seen it happen in so many friends sheds and garages that I think just about everybody is similar. We are called Hoarders!
Yeah, I know, we've all done it and we all use the same old broken record to justify it - that'll come in handy or they're getting hard to find, better hang on to that.
So, with my garage and two other sheds to attack I really ought to start getting stuff cleared and into someones hands who can make real use of them, well, they're doing no-one any good gathering dust in my shed are they?
P/S: I'm in the shed this afternoon - ok, only because H.I.D. has demanded I 'do something with my junk'. JUNK? I cannot believe the language that woman uses sometimes - she wouldn't say that if was a handbag or a pair of shoes would she?
