Mrs P and I then embark on the continuing quest that is
a search for a new lounge carpet. Bearing in mind I finished decorating the
room in March we really aren’t doing very well. Once again we return home with
four different samples from the carpet shops, and once again when we put them
down at home they look different to how they did in the shop, and how I’d
imagined they might at home. We’ve gone from one colour to another to neutral
and now I think we might go back to where we started. Another option is of
course to redecorate the room, so we can get a carpet to match!
After lunch the youngest and I get the train to watch
Lancashire playing county cricket. It’s not quite a blistering Summer’s day, in
fact the start was delayed because of rain, but they’re well underway after lunch.
We pass a pleasant afternoon watching the game and discussing the prospects for
the season with our neighbours. As the cost to watch live sport goes in this
country, county cricket is pretty competitive (though still not cheap), and a
good crowd is well entertained.
Once home I get to go in the loft to find a cable for
the youngests old xbox, to replace the one that broke this morning in his
current xbox, the upshot of which is it won’t work and a major part of his
social life could be in freefall. I find the old box but its empty, making me
wonder f I’ve thrown the old xbox out, after all it was broken. However I
persist under much encouragement from the youngest and eventually find the
broken console in an old TV box, with the required cable. It just goes to show
the benefit of not rushing to throw things out, even when they’re broken.
Yours saving the day.
Jay
