My goodness, the days go fast lately – there’s nothing like keeping busy to run away with the time. We went our separate ways this morning, and I think I had the best deal, by the sound of it, with just a few bags of things to donate to the OP Shop. Robin had the back of the 4WD loaded up with yet another pile of things for Earth Link to recycle. Getting our old, large, and very heavy TV into the back of the car what quite a challenge – they just don’t build them like that any more. In went the old drier which needed a bungy cord to keep the door closed – that was easier to man-handle. Don’t forget the old fold up stretcher, with summer practically here this will sell easily in their shop, I expect. In went another old heater, and various bits of metal for them to recycle.
There’s a TV in there somewhere
Robin was unaware that Earth Link have a charge of $20 to take a TV off a householder’s hands. No problem really, as it is much cheaper than a trip to the tip. But it had to be cash only, and yes, you’ve guessed it, Robin didn’t have $20 in his wallet. So that meant a visit to the money machine to get the cash and back again to hand it over. Next on the list were visits to the Post Office to put in our temporary change of address for the next few months, and the AA to buy some Road User Charges for the 4WD. That should be easy, wouldn’t you think? But no, both purchases involved long frustrating waits in a queue. He returned home hot and grumpy - it just wasn’t his morning.
A bit of lunch soon put things right, and then we tackled the kitchen. Didn’t quite manage to get everything packed away, as we ran out of crates and cartons. But I think we did very well. Here’s another lot all ready to go tomorrow.
