Tales from Taberno

Date 19-7-2006 Wednesday
Strewth. Two removal men arrived at 9am after being sent to the wrong address at Bardsey.
It was made very plain to Elayne, Nick and myself from the very onset that we were not required for the most part of the packing-up process.
Fine, thought I, these guys are professionals and know exactly what to do and how to do it and we have paid an extremely large dollop of cash for them to do it all without us.
So apart from ‘is this really going?’ and ‘don’t pack that please’ we had a really boring day of sitting in the garden keeping cool whilst these guys baked inside working like dervishes.
I found it quite stressful not being able to get stuck in with them.
Anyway they had the whole job complete by 5pm and were gone mumbling about being sent to pack-up 400cu/ft and ending up packing 550cu/ft for which we will get another supplementary invoice for the extra. Mind you it was their own bloke who said it was 400cu/ft in the first place. Will we ever see it all again???
Elayne, Nick and I then went to The Black Swan at Aberford for a final ‘pig-out’ (and it was, Nick tried the large mixed grill). Tried to get a couple of hours sleep although it was really hot.
