Cloudy 10 degrees with drizzle
Conversation with OH this morning - OH 'I had to get up in the middle of the night' Me 'that was quarter to eight'. He is not good in the mornings and was in a complete fog when I woke him up with a cup of tea. Said he was out fishing with Ed Milliband and Ed was a completely rubbish fisherman. Think lack of fishing activity is getting to him.
He dropped me off at the supermarket to get some oil for the heater and went to get a birthday card. He was absolutely ages. Finally he turned up and parked at the far end of the car park and started gesticulating. I had to drag over the heavy fuel oil to the car only to find out that we had yet another puncture. Fortunately all of the stuff to change the wheel was still in the car so it didn't take too long.
Back home for lunch then to garage to declare unhappiness with tyre. Had to go alone as OH went back on painting duty. The garage man said the tyre had been driven on whilst flat and was completely knackered so I had to have another one. OH was not pleased. Monthly budget, like the tyre, well and truly blown. Walked the dog and mulled over whether I should go and do a Show in the North where I could have free stand plus accommodation. Need to get the website up and running first. Had felt excited about the prospect at first but then remembered Shows are very hard work and you don't necessarily get as many clients from them as you would wish. Also clashes with Blues Festival, unbelievably. I would have to create an Association, which means having to share control with two other people and I don't want to do that either. Unusually for me, felt indecisive.
Happily, no football on the telly tonight. Watched recording of the Beverly Hill Billies again. Granny mentions that she wants to get away from all them city folks and back to good old Bugtussle. Amazingly, there is actually a town by the name of Bugtussle
Bugtussle, Oklahoma is an unincorporated community[1] located off Bucklucksy Ln. on the shores of Eufaula Lake, adjacent to Robbers Cave State Park, in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, USA,[2] with a population of "a few hundred". The community began in 1903 with the construction by a Mr. Ran Woods and others, of a two room log schoolhouse on the site. The schoolhouse is still standing, and was once attended by former speaker of the US House, Carl Albert. The settlement was allegedly named by Mr. Woods who felt that the bugs at the site were so numerous, that they were a never ending "tussle" for him to deal with.[3] The name "Bugtussle" was also the name of the town where the fictitious Beverly Hillbillies of TV series fame, had once lived before moving to California (according to some episodes, although other episodes alluded to other possible places of origin).
