Sold to the highest bidder

A day of paperwork, invoices and telephone calls chasing suppliers.
Oh, and I have sold the Defender.
Bit of luck really, was in the LR dealers yesterday sorting out some extra bits for the Discovery when it arrives and mentioned that I would probably sell the Defender privately. This morning I received a call from them to say they would like to buy it from me as they have a customer waiting and they would therefore offer me decent money, which they did, deal done. Looks as though I shall have to get one of the spare vehicles out of the shed for a few weeks. My little old car should suffice for now.
Mind you, if we get any snow, I can always smoke around in the Scammell.

I've got another day's shooting tomorrow which will be more of a grin than a shoot. I think I'll take the snarly Noodle along so he can get very tired and very angry with everything.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
I should really go and get everything ready for next week when the diggers start rolling onto a site where we are installing a sluice and water control point but I'm sure it can wait another day.
Someone said to me yesterday "It's all very well earning this money but what are you going to do with it once you've got it ?"
What a stupid question.
I looked at him and said "Spend it all on crystal-meth and hookers"
I think he genuinely thought I meant it...

The search for a horse continues. I have seen a couple but people do tend to value them so highly.
"It's won £37 at affiliated show jumping, thats why we want nine grand for him" - Great but as soon as it hurts itself it's worth £200 for meat to feed the dawgs.
I might take a few days off this month and travel about a bit looking at a selection of nags.
I know what will happen in the end and I know what I will end up doing but time will tell....

Right, I have a woodburner to stoke up and some port to drink.
Be Lucky.
