GETTING THINGS DONE

 


It's a blustery day up here and I haven't been out for a walk. It's not a tennis day on Friday and I had thought about going to play golf but don't fancy it when it's windy with a chance of rain.

The more observant reader might have noticed in the above photograph showing the unpleasant (for Northland) weather conditions that there is a tui perched on the deck rail.


Well, ha ha - fooled you - that's a small metal sculpture of a tui.

Before Christmas last year some friends gave The Old Girl 3 small metal sculptures - the tui plus two others, a morepork and a piwakawaka.





She left these on the deck for months saying that she would find a place to display them and refusing my offers of assistance.

Eventually these sculptures rusted - don't panic, it's what they are supposed to do being outside sculptures - as you can see by the marks on the decking outside the kitchen door here:


Pissed off with this I took the three sculptures and jammed them with their spikes into the joins of the wooden deck rails.
I expected this to be just temporary and a hint to her to do something with them. This was about three weeks ago and I'm beginning to think that this will be their final resting place.

Hey ho. Job done.

Well, a state of reduced mental and physical activity in which consciousness is altered and certain sensory activity is inhibited might improve your own post writing.

Big words but this post bored the shit out of me.

Richard (of RBB) said...

All clear of shit now.
Thank you.

Stick your fancy words up your 3P arse.

Well that's just plain rude.
