summer house blues

been a busy week so far.  on monday,due to sheer bloody stupidity and a grim determination to get  it done,even if it killed me,i  decided to  attack  the summer  house.which had got a bit untidy.  thats  like saying  draculas castle was a bit bleak   lol           every damn thing had  got  dumped  in there,the xmas lights   as i couldnt lig them up in loft again,  old carpet remnants i had brought down from loft in mistaken belief  they  were  xmas gear,mums  sholley         used once     (  its  a shopping trolley  with brakes    aid  to walking,bought it years ago  when  mum  was bit better  on  feet       and  cost  80 quid  omg           30 to a good  home??  lol)  stuff i had dumped from greenhouse,old computer desk   in bits           you  name  it.  now  i have  a careful,well planned strategy  when it comes  to  clearing out  sheds         chuck it  all out         and  start from  scratch.        so            empty summer house,    i  bought it  5 years ago           with the intention  of  sitting in there  on  warm  summers evenings looking  out  to  sea,even  got a wooden steamer  chair  n cushions.        found  that  under a pile of old garden nets  lol.   used  old  carpet  to  cover  floor,made shelving unit  out of old computer desk  and  odds  n  ends              few  screws         and fix it to walls  with  brackets             done,   and  everything  now  neat  and  tidy.         shed  next             well  i  dumped  load of stuff  out  of summer  house  into  there  lol        weekend  i hope.   monday  that  was.
