More house progress
Jun. 9th, 2007 05:20 pmReally, this is largely for my benefit, I guess so I feel more like I'm achieving stuff. And today has been a day filled with achievement. When you say to someone, 'I'm going to move a cast iron bath' the first thought that comes into your mind is probably not a thoroughly pleasant day; but actually, that's what I've had. I mean, the actual getting it up the stairs bit, that was completely exhausting (and I've now got to walk across town to collect the Viva, now it's ready; expect me to eat more donuts and drink more coffee).
Anyway, I think that most people wouldn't think of it as being pleasant, because they don't have the awesome friends I do, who cheerfully drove 80 odd miles, drove me to collect the van, then sat in a steeenking hot van (with their ever patient dog Pepper) as we flew round the motorway and down to Sussex, lug a bath into the van, drive back and then lift said bath up the stairs and then, without even pausing for a coffee or a cup of Chai headed back the 80 miles they'd come. Stars is what they are; shiny shiny stars. My friends are, in point of fact, made of awesome.
