Jun. 5th, 2012 06:41 pmThe Bank Holidays are almost over. Work is very nearly glowering around the corner at me, but mostly I'm feeling pretty buoyant.
Work on the hovel continues a slow crawling advance. The pictures and some other bits have sold today, a few more things tomorrow and I have put up a new batch of stuff (mostly craft patterns for porcelein dolls and sheet music for a Wurlitzer we don't own) so this is very pleasing. For some unknown reason my hovel clearing is leading to a push-back from other family members which is why I have also had to put a pile of clothes on ebay because Nanny insists that they are 'too good' to give away, (because the lady who owns them is on her deathbed and her house had to be cleared in a hurry, so Nanny got all this stuff given to her) but which nobody wants. I have therefore promised I will put them on, dutifully, and if they do not sell I shall be able to take them to the donation place with my conscience clear that I tried. Some of the stuff is okay but all of it is polyester and rayon and there's this one cardigan thing that just screams "Gizz uz a fag luv *hacking cough*" (it's clean and unworn, by the way, it's just the style of cardigan that does the screaming)
On the less good side no movement has been made on the whole Getting A Quote For the Kitchen or Getting A Man In To Sort The Garden. But then again, bank holidays have provided convenient excuses on these fronts.
In Other News
I have currently seen 18 films and read 18 books (not counting comics, journal extracts, magazines) this year. This is somewhat awesome although the pressure is now on in that I feel like books should definitely stay in front which means I could do with putting down the fanfic and reading something before tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow Iron Man 2 and Thor should arrive and I WILL BE WATCHING THEM. Most definitely yes.
