Took the last load of ex-pool stuff down to the tip.
Started moving some stuff out of the garage and the tea-house into; "The Room."
Perhaps I should explain, the shed that houses my garden tools and a couple of freezers, used to house our daughter's rabbits and guinea pigs, but hasn't seen any for more than three decades, but we still call it; "The Rabbit Shed."
"The Room's" the former koi pool filter and quarantine tank room. But that's too much of a mouhfull for it to remain that. So it will be in future be called, according to my wife, "The Room."
So far there's four garden loungers and some stuff in polystyrene boxes including over a dozen solar lights. I'm recharging the batteries and will check them out at the week-end. I've now a better place to store my spare golf bag and clubs.
I've brought my little Budweiser fridge and stand down from the tea-house. Where it was, it blocked the left-hand door from being opened. It will live here now, also a cupboard which was on the side wall over the fridge in there. Bottom shelf for cleaning stuff, top shelf for glasses and cups. My intention is to get a small leccy kettle. This will mean I won't have to rely on my wife to make me cups of tea when I'm gardening. With her MS it's hard for her to keep coming out with them through the French windows. She did make the effort to come and see my handiwork this afternoon. Seeing the cupboard, which was one of several I saved when we had a new kitchen, the rest are in the garage, she said; "Do I need to check the kitchen to see if any are missing? Nice one!
I've disconnected and removed the redundant two 150w spotlights on the garage wall which were trained on the pool. We're now down to five porch lights, the lights in the Japanese lanterns, the 15w fluorescent behind the opaque windows of teahouse doors, its fairylights and two 30w low voltage spots on the side fence. "Probably enough."
This meant I had a spare switch behind the lounge curtains. We have red berry fairy lights over the pergola on the side of the garage on a timer, they are on every night.
But I've now used that spare switch for the multicoloured lights on the pergola over the French windows.
Not that they'll be on often. Even if I'm not using something, it has to be "working" if you know what I mean.
