Today, I assembled an 8' x 6' pent roof shed. This involved moving the six sides of the 'cube' up, down and around an obstacle course of a garden to the intended site, a very constricted space, where the shed did eventually fit, much to my relief. I had the householder as an assistant, which was slightly alarming, as some panels, the single-piece roof in particular, were rather heavy and had to be lifted over the many obstacles. Adding to the stress was the fact that my assistant has an appointment with his heart surgeon in Leicester tomorrow morning, to discuss the next stage of the rebuild that has been going on for the last couple of years!

Anyway, we did eventually complete the reassembly satisfactorily, though getting the single piece roof panel onto the top was a struggle for the two of us, plus the bloke from across the road.

The point of all this is that I am knackered - although I do know that I dismantled the shed about seven years ago, before it was transported to the current location. I dismantled it on my own - and then got all of it over a six foot fence to await collection - I'm not at all sure how I did it...

Son is in Edinburgh all month doing his show for The Fringe, so for a treat, I posted a box of goodies to him.

Thought he’d appreciate chocolate, nibbles, lovely foodie stuff. As an afterthought I put in some Staffordshire Oat Cakes.

Well, he was quite delirious over the oatcakes, he’s sharing an apartment with five other comedians.

None of them had even heard of an oatcake, but my son cooked them breakfast and educated them on this Staffordshire delicacy.

Reader, I think for a moment this morning I was a hero.

Where’s the nearest actually functional shopping centre of a decent size? Not like Guildhall size, more “worth travelling for” size.

I know Telford’s is pretty big, and of course there’s Birmingham. Anything closer?

I hour up the M6 and you could hit the Trafford Centre.

It epitomises everything that is wrong in society, it is fake, characterless and void of humanity.

Great for shopping though....

Husband is away for the weekend.

8.35 pm. The Prosecco is open, it’s dark and it’s torrential rain outside, the curtains are closed, my pyjamas are on, I’ve just lit a log fire and I’m about to snuggle down and watch tv.

Is this August or have I time travelled into mid December?
