Because I feel like it.....
Oh efffing, s****y, Bug**y, Bol*****g DARN AND DRAT!!!!!!!!
Derek came home early yesterday so taking advantage of this I asked him to take me to the post office in the village so I could post my heap of parcels from ebay sales!!
"Should I take my purse or are you paying?" I asked as he put Sirius' coller and lead on.
"No! I have got my wallet!" He exclaimed. So I just shrugged and we left the house and got into the car...On our way there Derek said he dident want to come in the post office with me as he was embarraced at how many parcels I was posting!!! SNOB!!!!!!!!!! but he would wait out side with Sirius and I should call him in when it came to pay. Well I was thinking what a stupid idea, but I wanted to get on with it, and dident think this daft arrangement was worth arguing about it so in I went and began off-loading my parcels onto the post office scales...seconds later Derek pushed open the door of the post office with our excited dog pulling and panting.........
"I have left my wallet in the car!!!"
Well at this point I was about half way through doing the parcels, and Derek had left before I could say anything....Now Derek is the daftest git on the planet, and its hard to belive he has an MA from Sheffield in Economics and various other degrees!!...I was fuming....anyway down to my last two parcells to post and Derek still had not retuned so I pushed the door and looked outside to where he had parked the car, and to my horror of horrors his car had GONE!!! "Daft t**t has left his wallet at HOME!!!" my brain was screaming!...On to the last parcel and I had to explain to the Post Master what was happening and immiediatly he started tutting, shaking his head, and muttering to himself! After 5 minuits there was still no sign of Derek and by now the Post Master had began to read me the riot act!!!!!! "This is not acceptable" and "you would not do this in Tescos!" he was growling! All I could do was helplessly appologies and wait for Derek, making several trips to the door in the process. Eventually I saw him crossing the road and rushing to the post office red faced "I left it at home" he wailed. When he got to the counter to pay I had lost all my patience altogether and shouted at the Post Master!!!
"Now can you please tell him what you have just been telling me!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But my language to Derek outside, following this was very less than lady-like, so I wont post it here!!
BUT.............the story dosen't end there...
My latest Troika vase was due to arrive this morning.
Now our Saturday parcel post comes amazingly early, so last night I asked Derek if he would wake me at about 7am (I am usually up by 7:30 anyway) so I could wait for the post! as I knew Derek would not hear the door bell from his office and he is going slightly deaf (too many years listening to Led Zepllin) ...but he dident wake me and I was sleeping like a baby untill 8am!! But the post had already been and there was a post note on the door mat with a postage arival time of 7:30am!!!!!!!! (MORE HORRID EXPLEATIVES) but Derek went to the post office for me at just after 9am and picked up my amazingly well packaged Troika vase!!
I absolutly adore this beautiful work of art!!
My research on the artist of this beautiful vase was not difficult! It is signed H.C which is Honor Curtis who worked for Troika between 1968 and 1972 so her work is rare!! This piece is circa 1969 and these double base vase's go for an absolute fortune at auction! I have carefully been checking Bonhams and other auction house websites, where I have almost fell off my seat at the prices Troika is going for!
Ah yes!!! I have done my homework Sir!!
So I am guessing all this hassle is worth it realy....guessing!
Ok, now I have to get back to ebay, to see if I have anymore things I have to parcell up!
It never ends!!
LOL!!!!!!!! x

Hi there!!!
So glad to hear you like it! Troika is so beautiful and each piece is totally uniquely decorated! In the evening I light a tea candle underneath this piece which shows its colours perfectly! The Earthy tones are so gorgeous! Hope to see you back soon! ((((((((((((hugzzz))))))))))) Vicky |
