Fiona's Quiet Life

I am in a rage today…well not so much a rage as an upset­ness.….
With all the redo­ing of the garden and house him upstairs had 150 garden slabs to get rid of. i will advert­ise them on eBay says i.
all good fun , we watch as the bid­ding rises. even­tu­ally stop­ping at 1 a.m.. i had for­got­ten the clocks going for­ward… any­way stop­ping at £120 a good fair price.

but the guy two weeks later hasn’t paid or col­lec­ted them. what he did was, he advert­ised them on gumtree at a higher price all the while mak­ing excuses to me as to why he couldn’t col­lect them.
the per­son who lost out to him bid­ding, con­tac­ted him through gumtree and was given my post­code as the place to col­lect them. need­less to say he didn’t buy from the cheat.
but informed me.
so i am wait­ing till my mind is calm then ven­geance will be mine.….….eBay and gumtree will know in full just what a cheat this Kez is…yes that is his name.….
mean­while i have given him a time limit to pay up and collect…i hate the fact he knows my address though.

on a nice note though , hav­ing dug an hour a day for a week my pond is nice and deep, i lined it with car­pet and plastic sheet bought for th pur­pose and waited for it to rain …and waited …and waited.. i thought the west of Scot­land had a high rain fall, not at the moment is all i can say. in fact it has been low for three months because the cam­era club pro­jec­ted image sub­ject for three months run­ning was rain but none of it fell well not enough to pho­to­graph.The black plastic will dis­ap­pear under water and plants soon…i hope.

i wanted it to fill with rain­wa­ter but have added a few buck­ets of tap water, and bottles of pond water from down the road.….….….i do look a bit odd i must admit car­ry­ing pond water about the leafy sub­urb in which i live.

Him upstairs has donated a jam jar full of frog spawn to it , so i am hop­ing for the pat­ter of tiny tad­poles soon.

the zumba classes are still going strong , it is such a good excer­size régime a cross between salsa and bol­ly­wood and belly dan­cing, i am get­ting a nice defin­i­tion to my calf muscles.
