A CARPET KINDA DAY!

What a day, seem to be having rather a lot of them at the mo!....The carpet man came to lay the carpet as we were trying to get it done before the TV crew come tomorrow, but even that is uncertain at present as we are slightly flooded in the paddocks!...Anyway Auntie Lou and me cleaned the kitchen all day just in case, don't want dust and stuff everywhere eh...cant have them seeing it as it really is eh!!!None of that authenticity rubbish!!!!....Well anyway the carpet guy came and laid the carpet, he called me in to see if it was ok, I didn't walk all the way up but it looked fine....Paid him...then we cleared all the left overs up as we were on tidy mode, took it to the dump....Pete came back and said "why haven't they carpeted the top riser?".....My heart stopped, all I could think of was OH MY GOD I have dumped all the off cuts.......And true there was a piece of carpet missing...so Pete jumped in the truck up to the dump in the pouring rain to rescue a bit of carpet....He got there...the dump was shut, but he could see a couple of guys there and shouted through the cracks in the fence. Just as they were coming over to Pete the tractor thing was pounding the skip with its bucket and turning it over to tip....In slow motion Pete went 'NNNNNNnoooooooooo" But it was too late the carpet had been pummelled and there was no way of saving it, it must have been similar to that of a Mr Bean episode.... I rang the carpet guy and he reckoned he may have a large enough piece to save my bacon, so we'll see tomorrow....Could only be me eh....If those TV people weren't coming I wouldn't have raced to the dump tonight...and now they may not be coming either....what a day......
