We woke up at 5.30 am, to be up and out, and at the Skylark car boot for 7 am. It was nice to see the ‘rosy-fingered dawn’. Fortunately, it’s still £7, just as it was years ago, last time I had a pitch there. Before Covid!
I’m chuffed that Teresa was with me. She enjoyed it. I got her a mini-hand-sewing-machine, for her troubles. And she scored three free (!?) ceramic knick-knacks. Always lovely to see her smiling.
And Antonio got back from Spain today.
LATER ON…
Well, after a pretty tough spell of days turning to weeks, today’s car boot sale was something of a respite. We came home around midday. And both napped briefly, in the garden.
A few hands of rummy have been played, lunch and dinner eaten. And after a bit of an impromptu Wallace & Gromit binge, we finished off this evening with episode five of The Rings of Power.
For some reason the latter started to ‘freak me out’. I suspect actually it’s just the underlying stress of lack of income resurfacing. So tomorrow’s first job is to pay in the car boot earnings.
And after that, I must sedulously seek further means of creating more income. Be that selling more stuff, alternative employment, benefits, or getting this whole ridiculous Amazon impasse cleared up.
But somehow, it’s absolutely imperative that I dial down stress levels.
To that end, I started listening to the above. I loved it so much, I decided to do a 30 day free trial with Audible (again!), and thereby get a free audiobook. I opted to get the unabridged version, read by the venerable Michael Hordern.
