Sun 020820 Went shopping.../Got FREE leather chair.../Phoned Trevor

6 AM CLEARED SOME RUBBISH BY TAKING IT DOWN TO THE TIP

When I awoke I decided to clear some rubbish from off the front/back garden taking it down to the tip.

I made multiple trips...travelling both back and forth; sometimes, I walked down to the tip/other times, I took my bike...balancing bags on both sides of the handlebars.

10 AM CLEARED SOME STUFF INSIDE OF THE HOUSE

I also decided to make some much needed 'space' inside of the house by clearing away some stuff out of the downstairs living room quarters.

 

Too, I cleaned up the downstairs sink a bit.

11 AM TOOK 2 CHAIRS OUTSIDE

I took 2 chairs inside of the downstairs living room...; and, placed them outside either side of the garden table.

11:30 AM MOVED 4 WOODEN CHAIRS FROM TIP DOWN TO EMMAEUS

When I went down to the tip...I saw 4 wooden chairs...which actually looked brand 'new'; however, I decided I didn't want them myself...as they had a foam base...and, that meant rain would get inside of it...if I placed these outside of the garden. 

So, instead, I decided to take them down to Emmaeus charity shop...2 at a time.

12 MIDDAY FOUND LEATHER CHAIR OUTSIDE EMMAEUS

Outside of Emmaeus charity shop...I found a leather spinning chair...which was in great condition...except it needed a little bit of cleaning at the back of the seat part.

I decided to take this chair home with me...and, place it inside of the back garden...the rain would give it a good clean.

Also, it would be great fun to spin around on...whenever I'm outside in the garden. 

2 PM WENT SHOPPING IN ICELAND

I decided to do some shopping in Iceland superstore...I brought...

- Meat: Steak & Kidney Pie/Mince and beef pie/1 x box of ham 

- Curry: 1 x Beef curry and rice/1 x Chicken curry and rice

- Drinks: 1 x Mango fruit juice

- Sweets: Miscellaneous

- Ice cream: 4 x chocolate ice cream lollies/2 x boxes of ice cream cones: Mint/Strawberry

- Milk: 2 x packages of Soya Bean Milk

I recall I didn't take my bike along with me to help carry the shopping home. Oh boy, was that a long walk...having to carry up 4 bags with my arms aching...and, my feet refusing to move anything but really REALLY 'slow'.

5:30 PM PHONE TREVOR

I actually phoned to talk to Millicent his wife; but, instead, Trevor answered; he explained that Millicent is suffering from a severe toothache...; and, is currently sleeping.

I updated  him with what's going on inside of the house...Zoltan, the builder, has put up some scaffolding to stop the ceiling falling down; he stopped the bathroom tap cold water leak; and, also,  partly knocked down the bathroom/toilet wall. I also explained that Zoltan said he would make another appointment to see me again on 10th August 2020...to discuss any further building work.

I also explained that Sharon and Geoff don't seem to be getting along as well as before; and, are even contemplating possible divorce. I suggested 'marriage counselling'; but, then, it takes two willing partners to do that.

I also told him that the Council has sent me a letter asking me to pay 'unpaid' rent...to cover the period since my mum died...right up until when the flat was closed shut; the cost of which is £1,000.00 +.

7 PM AWARE OF MORE CLEANING UP WORK STILL TO BE DONE

All the time, I'm constantly aware than I need to clean up the broken bits and pieces of the knocked down brick wall that are still left inside of the house. I just been feeling far too lazy to do it...; possibly, I'll do it, later on.
