Heavy!

[ladyofastolat]

Note to self: When a very large and very very very heavy box turns up, totally packed to the gunwales with small bits of metal do not carry it out to the car by yourself. Get a passing Big Strong Man to do it. Do not stubbornly set your chin, heave the box up off the floor, and set out. Especially do not do this when your car is at the far end of the car park, and every delivery van and mobile library in the area is manoeuvring between you and your car, causing you to constantly stop and give way. My arms have turned into jelly now, as if my bones have disappeared and been replaced my mush. I try to tell my arm to grip that mug of coffee, and instead it goes fl-bump! and lands six inches short, its fingers limply trying to pick up some scissors.

Also, do not look at the label on the box and find out quite how much money said small bits of metal cost.

He's spending money on the hobbies of strange women??? ;-)

Adding an explanation now would just spoil the effect. ;-)

No, there's no need to explain. None at all. I'm sure that neither he nor the strange woman in question would want their habits to be shared with the rest of the world. And even if they did, would we wish to know?
