Significant effort, but no real change

 I seemed to spend most of today shifting things around. My to-do list refers to tidying" activities, such as "tidy garage" and "tidy carport", but I'm not sure that anything looks tidier at the end of today.

Here's what happened. 

30% has advertised the Series 2 Land Rover project on Facebook marketplace and has been deluged with requests for photos.  Unfortunately the Series 2 is tucked in to the car port alongside the BMW and it is surrounded by crap miscellany. I spent a merry half hour moving plant pots, garden chairs, a barbecue, a wheelbarrow and even a handful of dog toys before I could get an uninterrupted view of the vehicle.

However, I still couldn't start snapping. I then needed to clear access to the garage* so that I could grab one of the Land Rovers doors.  This was carefully positioned in the appropriate aperture, so that the car would appear slightly less of a wreck when photographed.

Only then was I able to grab a number of photos that might pique the interest of potential buyers. Having taken the pictures, I then needed to put everything back in to the car port, although I did make an executive decision and an old half barrel planter ended up smouldering on the bonfire in the orchard.

That was the morning just about done. I had spent most of it moving crap around and taking a few photos of a very scabby vehicle. The few minutes I had spare were spent downloading the photos to my PC, where careful edits and crops were made. I then fired them over to 30% to add to her advertisement.**

The afternoon was, unfortunately, quite similar. I needed to make space in the garage for my new bike. So time was spent taking vehicles out of the garage, shuffling them around and then putting them back. In honesty it looks no tidier, perhaps even more cluttered. But I do now have room for the R1250R.  I am, however,  somewhat concerned, as it will be in close proximity of the space that TP is using to build a "sound trolley".  Apparently this is a small cart used to move sound recording equipment around movie sets and locations.  That's what he says. I say "it is a pile of crap cluttering up my bloody garage and why the fuck isn't it being built in his garage, or perhaps that of his Boss; Robin?"

* Access was somewhat limited due to three tonne bags of sand and aggregate and a pallet of Indian sandstone pavers delivered for Grubby Jason to finish the front path.

** I do not have a Facebook profile as I am of the strongly held opinion that it is a Social Media entity populated by vapid idiots. Mind you, if you want to sell rubbish, vapid idiots are your target audience. Hence I employed 30% to advertise the Series 2 and act as a shield between me and the multitude of tyre kickers that have defended like digital vultures upon the carcass that is my car advert.
