Rarr!

[radegund]

I just hefted an eight-foot pine tree home from Camden Street.

In 2.5" heels.

I ARE TEH BUTCH.

(Except for the heels.)

I had some help from a charming young man with a Mayo accent for about 300 yards along the canal, but other than that the tree was slung over one or other shoulder, or under one or other arm.

Somewhat hurty now. Must go and shower...

radegund = Ent-egund?

Hroom! Hooooooooooooooom!

Where are the Enthusbands and Enttoddlers?

Schlepping it in heels is extra double butch. I am impressed.

The heels were not part of the plan... :-)

I are impressed!

Especially as I considered hefting a tree in heels (on me, not the tree) from the same location to my house yesterday (ie about a hundred yards) and decided against it. I'm getting one today instead, when my lovely assistant Brian is available for tree-lugging duties.

Heh. A belated (but lucky!) look at my calendar revealed that yesterday afternoon was the only possible time it could be got this week, without huge trouble. My lovely assistant was flat out at work, and my lovely hinderer was safely ensconced in the creche. Pity about the heels.

I am thankful to have avoided the trauma of last year, when I rose with the fecking lark on 23 December and trotted with increasing franticity around our area to find that all of the local tree-sellers had sold the last of their stock the previous evening. Eventually I phoned the Da and persuaded him to score me one in time for our party...
