Gosh, yesterday ended up being more than a little chaotic.
-=-=-
First we had a person come to measure up the doorstep which needs replacing. The Patio door used to be a sliding door, so only had one-side secured as a door step. We now have French doors, which open from the middle, so the door step is only usable on the left door!!
After that, we had a guy come to buy our old telly. It's not a bad telly, it just has slow software. It's fine if you aren't a fussy fussy fusspot like I am!
Next, a B&Q* delivery, as my Uncle ordered a few Downspouts to go around the outside of the bungalow. Nice and clean white downspouts to replace the 178-layers-of-paint downspouts that are already out there.
(*B&Q are a large DIY firm in the UK, to the point where they own the domain DIY.com )
And then an Amazon* delivery of Coffee, because me and Mum are intense coffee-addicts at this point.
*crikey*
(*Amazon are a bookstore that sells Coffee, Shoe Racks, TVs and TV Stands)
As well as that, there was a phone call about the potential bathroom rearranging, and we even found time to nip to the shop* at some point.
(*Local Shop is a "Premier" branded Convenience Store which sells newspapers, bread, milk, chocolates and more.)
In addition, a good half hour of VR was had, with Mum getting further into SynthRiders, managing to actually complete 4 songs, which is a drastic improvement on yesterday when she couldn't complete the one track!
There was also time to fit in a Piano lesson, which went reasonably well, and I even found time for a 3 hours nap, which was very much needed by the middle of the day.
Good grief, what a really unexpectedly busy day that was.
.
... What's that? I should've posted AGameAWeek and made a start on an ALChoon?
Uhoh!!!
[chorus]
Where did my day go? (It went away, yo.)
I want my day, bro. (Where'd my day go?)
Where did my day go? (It went away, yo.)
I want my day, bro. (Where'd my day go?)
[break]
[verse]
A delivery came, Some pipes and some bits.
Another arrived, With coffee and shit.
A man came and took, My T.V. away.
There's oodles that happened, On my chaotic day.
[break]
[drop][chorus]
Where did my day go? (It went away, yo.)
I want my day, bro. (Where'd my day go?)
Where did my day go? (It went away, yo.)
I want my day, bro. (Where'd my day go?)
[bridge]
Mum played some VR, She was getting quite good.
Then we went to the shop, To buy us some food.
And what of the doorstep? The man came to see.
He measured around, Where the doorstep should be.
[break]
[drop][chorus]
Where did my day go? (It went away, yo.)
I want my day, bro. (Where'd my day go?)
Where did my day go? (It went away, yo.)
I want my day, bro. (Where'd my day go?)
[Dave is excitedly holding a parcel. Green is lounging on the couch, reading a magazine.]
Dave: Greenie! Look what just arrived!
Green: [not looking up] Is it another Coke-powered device?
Dave: No idea! But I need my trusty penknife to open it.
[Dave starts rummaging through drawers]
Dave: Where is it? Where's my penknife?
Green: Dave, it's just a parcel. Can't you use scissors?
Dave: Scissors? SCISSORS? This calls for precision, Greenie! Only my penknife will do!
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's apartment - Three hours later
[The apartment is in complete disarray. Dave is crawling on the floor, looking under furniture. Green is still on the couch, now surrounded by a fort of cushions.]
Dave: [muttering] It's got to be here somewhere. Maybe it's hiding with the talking cats.
Green: [sarcastically] Yes, Dave. Your inanimate object is having a jolly tea party with imaginary felines.
Dave: [gasping] You're right! It must be in the VR world!
[Dave scrambles to put on a VR headset]
Green: [facepalming] That's not what I... oh, never mind.
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's apartment - Late afternoon
[Dave is slumped against the wall, defeated. Green approaches with a kitchen knife.]
Green: Dave, why don't you just use this to open the parcel?
Dave: [looking up, bewildered] A kitchen knife? But... but... That's for the kitchen. This is NOT the kitchen, Greenie. Do you see an oven? I don't think so.
Green: It'll do the job. Come on, let's see what's inside.
[Dave reluctantly takes the knife and opens the parcel. His face falls as he pulls out a stack of leaflets.]
Dave: Oh no.
Green: [reading a leaflet] "Experience the future of office software with BurrowOffice"? Dave, didn't you rebrand these to the new ZenOffice?
Dave: [groaning] I forgot to cancel the leaflet order after the rebrand. A thousand wasted leaflets!
Green: [sighing] Well. I dunno. Maybe you can use these for origami in your new zen garden?
Dave: [perking up] Origami spreadsheets! Greenie, you're a genius!
[As Dave starts folding leaflets into paper rabbits, Green retreats to his new cushion fort, muttering about the inevitable return of chaos.]
