simple little job, tidy up the passageway

 Perhaps it is the pills in the morning that cause the daily collapse. Take them later tomorrow to see if the effect is produced later.

Leave the house at ten, and go for a thoughtful cup of coffee. Then clear up several things at home. 

Then decide to get rid of the waste material and rubble and dust left over from the renovations tho the back room last February. They have been a nuisance since. There are buckets full of sandy dirt, all nearly white, from the coatings removed from the walls in the room. The dust consists of various types of wall paint and different plaster and lime wall coatings. Because of the potential for dirt nothing had been done about them up to now.

Remove the trailer from its corner. It is a small container, not capable of holding much, but it is better than making a complete mess of the car. Load up the various backups into the trailer and drag it down the passage to the street. It is a mediaeval house, there is a passage to the yard going through the building.

See that the one tyre of the trailer is flat.

This is a setback.

After some time searching for tools to remove the wheel, realise that it would have been easier to just take the compressor to the trailer. This is just because of anger. It led to a stupid decision. Replace the wheel with the meanwhile inflated tyre, open the main doors to the house wide, and wheel the trailer out into the street.

Fetch the car from its parking spot and hitch up the trailer.

Drive to the recycling place, stopping on the way at a filling station to check the air in the tyre.

At the recycling place drive the car and the trailer onto the weigh bridge. Then follow the instructions and empty the contents of the trailer onto a heap. After that weigh the car and the trailer again.

Pay fourteen Euros.

Drive home, unhitch the trailer and return it to its place in the passageway, and leave the empty containers for collection later.

Then discover that there has been a run on the parking spots. Circle around the town twice looking for a new one, the process takes almost a full hour.

Return home and clear up the mess, pack away the empty buckets, change the clothes now soiled from top to toe and have a shower.


Settle down to an evening meal of beans and potatoes. Keep things simple, there is no need for meat on Monday.

It is good to have that simple little job done.
