ONLY ONE WEEK TILL “IVORY BOW DAY”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I'm so excited, I may pass out (carefully onto a strategically positioned sofa ;) *sigh*

I gave my entire staff a whole week off, so they'd be refreshed and ready for "Ivory Bow Day" ....not realising that the lawns needed mowing. “Bugger” I thought, as I manfully strode across the ankle deep grass. "I’m sure I can do this!"  I scowled gracelessly to myself. Well! ....finding the mower was no easy task, as my enormous 47 car garage is full to bursting with "Stuff I'm going to absolutely need in 3 or 4 years time" ; ) It’s full of

Peculiar gifts that looked fabulous in the shop, then you get home and wonder what the hell were you thinking? 

Full of half hacked logs that were too big for the wood burner – from my “I’m a lumberjack and I’m ok” phase. (I even bought the red tartan shirt ; ) 

It’s full of my old vinyl autographed Queen albums.

 ………Ooh! …my old Art and Design folder…*wistful smile* ….but I digress.

 Talking of garages - Never in my life have I ever parked a vehicle in a garage – something I deeply regretted last week when I left the top down on my lovely CLK sport over night.  I couldn’t believe she actually started up – she was utterly drenched and I had to literally bail her out with a mop and bucket. The day was really hot, so I left the top down to let her dry out…. (Later that evening…. having driven into the city) …Ha! It’s not until you actually climb out of the seat that you realise how wet your trousers are! As you walk away and your pants get colder and damper in the night air. Eeeeeeew! 

Anyway - to cut a ridiculously long story short, I had to mow the lawn myself and the bloody mower packed in and spluttered to a halt halfway thru the job! Now I have to drag myself away from my studio – ( *Stage whispering* where I’m compiling new material for the next DP album! ) and go scouting for a new machine : ( 

Isn’t life a tease darlings?
