wonder how the weekend went?
Last Friday night as I was standing out the front of work with two office chairs – awaiting the new owner of the said chairs – a small hatch-back, packed to the rafters, pulled up by the pavement. A young woman who was also waiting at the front of the building jumped in, after stuffing additional luggage into the back. (The car looked on the verge of going ‘pop’.) Five minutes of consultation took place inside the car. Then the passenger side window rolled down. “Hey – lady with the chairs.” (I guess that would be me.) “We’re going away for the weekend – where should we go?” I looked dubiously at the car. “How far were you thinking of driving?” “Oh, about an hour, I guess”, was the reply. “What about Daylesford?” “Fantastic idea. Thanks!” And off they drove. Wonder if they made it?
Very, very funny. I thought they were going to ask for your chairs.
November 7th, 2004 at 7:11 pmI used to run a stall at trash markets. One morning I saw a bloke driving a van in. The cabin was crammed with junk, totally surrounding him. All you could see were his eyes peeping through it all. Well, a stall at Wantirna isn’t cheap. I guess he wanted his money’s worth.
I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t do it! I need to know well in advance where I will be going for the weekend. No such spontaneity for me!
