Today's "little task - hardly strenuous" was to move an easy chair and some bookshelves.
No worries.
A trolley takes care of the heavy things and everything fits nicely on the trailer.
All good.
Or so we thought...
There was a clap of thunder almost directly overhead, and the heavens opened up.
Which led to a mad dash to get the tarp out of the car, and over the load, ha ha.
Having got the tarp strapped down, of course, the rain stopped.
So we figured we'd take advantage of the dry spell and take the load over to the storage place.
And of course... the moment we stopped there, down came the rain, again, ha ha.
So we stood in the dry and made friends with the cat that lives there.
A very friendly cat.
Lots of miaows, and rubbing itself against our ankles.
We opened the storage unit and the cat decided that that was it's invitation to go in, and look around.
It's not the neatest stacking job in the world, and furniture comes in odd shapes, so there's plenty of little nooks and crannies to be explored...
We moved what furniture we had, first, working on the principle that all the noise and bustle would dislodge the cat.
That shows what we know about cats, ha ha.
With everything in, and the cat still not out, I went up to the front office to let the manager know that the cat was somewhere in the storage unit.
He walked back with me and my mate was standing outside the unit.
He put his finger up to his lips - "Shhh", then pointed into the unit.
I got to the door, and peered around the corner...
Guess who had decided that the velour covered easy chair was a perfect spot for a nap? ha ha.
I'm glad it ended that way, I wasn't looking forward to half emptying the unit, otherwise...
Not too bad a day, except for the weather.
Still, I can't complain, I got another (Another?!) bird bath out of it, ha ha.
