Carpeted
On Thursday afternoon as I was passing a carpet shop on Newland Avenue I saw a beige off cut measuring 12ft x 3ft priced at £12. I thought it would be alright to lay it between the fireplace and sofa in the lounge. The carpet shop offered to deliver it free at teatime. Upon delivery I duly laid it down in the lounge.
Then last night as I sat on the sofa smoking my dope and drinking whisky and coke, I thought that the beige carpet would be more suited in the hallway.
Rolled up in the hallway was the old carpet next door had given me about 2 years ago rather than cart it off to the dump. I just never got around to laying it down in the lounge. Also, I didn't fancy unrolling it to find out what state it was in.
As it transpires the blue, red and cream patterned carpet once it had been vacuumed looks ok and I cannot help wondering why next door would get rid of a perfectly good carpet.
In any event, today I have to finnish the job and cut down the carpet to fit properly in the lounge.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
