Naughty Boy

That's me! Friday was such a lovely day and after doing a quick job in the morning i went out on the beasty! I first had to plane of a small part of a beam by the front door as the carpenter came on thursday and adjusted it so that it would close correctly. His accountant came along as well as we had asked him to justify his bill for the balcony and stairs as it had increased a little. ( nearly 2,500 euro's more!) After much discussion and coffee he agreed to reduce his bill a little, unfortunately we couldn't get the cost of the balcony reduced very much as we had insisted that he used a special type of wood structure for the supports. We were under the impression from the local supply depot they were 20 euro's metre and it should have been quoted at 63 euros a metre!!!! Some difference huh? When i went to the depot again to get them to explain they just shrugged their shoulders, apologised and said it was a genuine mistake..arrrggghhhhhh
Soo out on the beast, i did have a good reason though honest i did. I had to go to the vet and get some worming tablets for the cat as she had sicked up some worms! and luscious had the car as she was at work up at the restuarant on the hill.
Had a coffee at a small bar on the way home and was only out for a couple of hours but it was great fun. I did tell luscious when she got back in, she said i was a very naughty boy going out without her and i would have to be sorted out later!
That was fun as well. perhaps i should be naughty more often?

    Well! Hell! This post has sat too long with no comments, so I can't resist. Sounds like a day of raw sex. Hammering a powerful bike through autumnal French countryside, followed by a good 'seeing to'. Pure bliss, my boy, pure bliss!
