We were late to bed after yesterday's Frankie Valli tribute show, and neither of us were particularly keen to get on with anything this morning.
Basically it was a few hours of pottering. Abandoned items were put away and rooms were tidied. Midway through the morning 30% asked if I might move a leather tub chair upstairs to TP's bedroom.*
Now this chair is not huge, but it is quite heavy and, most definitely unwieldy. Neither are our stairs very high, but they are bloody steep and have a 90° turn half way up.
It is fair to say that a simple statement, lead to a lot of huffing and puffing, and a high risk of personal damage. No assistance was offered by my dear wife and I'm not sure that there was any acknowledgement that I had got the fucking thing up to the landing.
I wasn't expecting an award, or such like, but a thank you would have been nice ... a helping pair of hands would have been nicer!
So that was the morning. In the afternoon we took the dogs out for a short walk and I then retired to the garage to fit a fly lead to the Honda's battery. This involved removing the side panels and seat to access the battery box. It took a while, but I can now report that the Honda is reconnected to it's life support machine.**
That is one item of my current to-do list. There are several other Honda related items, mostly related to getting it clean and dry.

* A strange descriptor for a room, especially as TP has never been recorded as a resident at this address?
** A CTEK battery charger/conditioner. I did use an Optimate, but that now serves my Royal Enfield Trialer.
