Time for a change I think...(Deepen Rambling.)

After many a year, in fact more than I care to remember, and being as making my own decisions is the order of the day, thought it about time for a change. So.........decided to raid the old Piggy bank and carry out a number of home improvements, well......what a lora-lora laughs that decision turned out to be.......NOT!!
Firstly, dont please run away with the idea that this is an exercise in crass stupidity, mearly an account of my experiences which no doubt many many others can relate to and have simpathy with. It certainly does seem to me now, at the almost nearing completion stage, that to take a slow boat to China and let the "Devil" have the reigns, driving onwards relentlessly to a hopefully satisfactory completion, preferable to risking ones sanity.

I mean "Sparky" can only be available on a certain day, while "Plumbob" can be present maybe a week next "Pancake" day and then the Guy who is doing the extractor widget.......well he will put in an appearance sometime maybe never it would seem. And after all this 'ere manouvering, the whole thing is thrown in to turmoil by last minute "Sorry mate but something came up and I could not get that day or the "Thingy" for the"Hurdy Gurdy" supplier let me down. As if all this circus performance is not sufficient the Guy with brushes and what seems like endless pots of different coloured paints and sticky stuff takes over with dust sheets covering cupboards and worktops effectively barring me from my "Nosebag". Then, would you believe, another guy appears at the kitchen door boots covered in concrete begging for access to the far side of the house because he has effectively worked the wrong way whilst laying the concrete and has snookered himself.

Of course, I hear you cry, "We have all endured that problem so stop wingeing Dee it can only get better" well maybe so and of course, inevitably it will, but that China trip does seem quite appealing right now.
That reminds me of a story from the late and great Les Dawson............
"There was a young man from Bombay......
Who sailed to China one day"
"He was strapped to the tiller.....
with a sex mad Gorilla",
"And China is a very long way"!!!!
I swear, the next person who enquires into what progress has been made, or gives their informed version of how it should have been done could well find themselves in hospital awaiting a proceedure for the removal of a certain object from some part of their anatomy.Or maybe not.............................................................................Deepen
