Wherefore the Warfarin

Grandad August 20th, 2008

I won’t be writing anything on this site today.

I just don’t have the time.

I have to head out in a few minutes and go down to the village.

Apparently, I’m to meet a Romanian off the bus.  I have been given my instructions by Herself ["Go down and collect a Romanian woman off the bus"] so who am I to argue?  I don’t know what she wants a Romanian woman for.  She’s done this before, and I came to no harm so I might as well give it another spin.  I might even get a quick grope on the way home.

Then I have some work to do around the estate.  A few trees and bushes have to be hacked back as I’m running short of firewood.

After that, Herself wants to go into town.

*sigh*

This, of course means that I have to get tanked up on coffee while I wait for her.  I asked her what she wanted to buy there and she muttered something about rat poison.  That, by my reckoning is at least a two hour wait, whereas if I went to buy it I’d be home in half an hour.  But she wants to go to the shops and I’m not going to have a fight over it.  We have spilled enough blood over the last couple of weeks, and I’m getting too old.

I don’t know what she wants rat poison for?

We don’t have rats.
