Some days I don\u2019t know why bother coming in here.
\nA schoolboy error I guess.
\nWhen you\u2019re not working why would you endure the lunchtime rush?
\nBut I do every bleeding Wednesday when my Mavis takes the bus to her sisters.
\nI shouldn\u2019t moan, I get a day without having my blasted ear bent.
\nA swift one in the Red Lion, before popping in for a sandwich and coffee on the way home.
\nLovely.
\nNot lovely when I have to wait in line.
\nWho wants to wait in line at my time of life?
\nI\u2019m already waiting in line for the big heave-ho from the\u00a0man upstairs.
\nMost days my age doesn’t bother me, other days it niggles you like grass seeds caught in your socks so I ain’t waiting in no other lines.
\nThat reminds me, on the way home I\u2019ve got to pick up some more supplies for me shed.
\nI love that shed, it\u2019s my tiny oasis of calm in a sea of Mavis\u2019s chaos.
\nShe isn\u2019t allowed in the shed so me tinnies are quite safe, she’ll never know.<\/p>\n
That shed is awesome though, a spot of insulation and some proper windows sorted it out, lovely.
\nThat was so lucky, I landed on the feet there.
\nI was walking along Camchester Road, the big house opposite the park was having it windows done. Why the blazes they were taking out the wooden ones out and replacing them with plastic wood effect windows beats me. They need their heads tested.
\nAnyhow the bloke doing the job let me have one set of windows and a door for sixty quid, he said it was cheaper than putting them in the skip. He even dropped them round in his van.
\nIt is surprising how far a fake limp gets you.
\nMavis wasn\u2019t impressed, face like thunder she had.
\nTo be honest, she\u2019s never impressed with my\u2019s plan until after the event.
\nSometimes you\u2019ve just got a do these things.
\nShe always wants to know why I won\u2019t be sitting inside watching whatever soap happens to be on the TV. I may not have many days left.
\nWho wants to waste them in front of tat like that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
