Got up at 9.00am after reading the news on my phone and had some breakfast whist Tash stayed in bed struggling with a hangover!
Got some more work things sorted and then took a look at jacks bike to fix the buckled wheel but within minutes it was obvious that it was no good and would need replacing. Pottered around the house for a bit and then decided to go over to Mum’s to finally sort out the gutter that I’ve been promising to do. Luckily I’ve experience of this before so the items I took with me to get the job done were correct and helped save me a lot of time.
Derek held the ladder for me and then I got to work scooping out all the moss and then cleaning the gutter – it looked good when I’d finished and they were both pleased with my effort, so that was nice and they decided they didn’t want the back done.
I then got the chainsaw out and proceeded to cut down half the trees in the back garden – that was a bit of a tough job as they were big and awkward to get to and I was balancing in some difficult places, but we got it all done and it did look a lot better by the time I’d finished. I also took the opportunity to get into the loft to look for my old Dire Straits poster but it wasn’t there which was a shame. I did get a bit distracted by letters in there but I moved on and left them alone!
I was at Mum’s for about 3.5 hours in the end, left after 4.00pm and then Tash, Jack and I went to Aldi to get some shopping and then more importantly to Decathlon to find Jack a new bike which we did (£120.00) but it was worth it and he definitely needed it.
Came home, made a fire and then watched TV and films and I must admit I had the taste for a drink so went ahead and drank a bottle of white wine and also the bottle of ready-made Mojito that I had bought for Xmas. I then watched loads of Continuum episodes as everyone else went to bed.
A great day for Cup Upsets in the FA cup, most notable being Bradford beating Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea being 2-0 up. Incredible game, especially as Chelsea have been in excellent form this season and will likely win the league. There were others but this was the main upset.
A nice day all in all
