Hunter's Wellington Boots...

Surely one of the ultimate examples of a world gone mad for labels - these are essentially brightly coloured versions of the standard wellie - but with the word "Hunter" on a label on the front...

For the privilege of that one small word strategically placed in a little rectangle on the front of each boot (which must be worn outside any trousers for the label to be visible), people are willing to pay four or five times the price of a standard pair of wellies...

...and will queue up and go even more mad for them when a "sale" is announced and they can be had for a slightly smaller multiple of "normal wellie price"...

People are idiots...

Mind you I do like my new watch - which has the same time on it as my laptop and my mobile phone....

Idiot...

At home, change was a foot - but not before an excellent pie from the Exec Producer...

Yum...

Today was sunset time...

...for our two trusty Chesterfields, which have graced the living room for over 25 years - Anne didn't really want to say goodbye...

..and I am an awful one for anthropomorphising stuff...

Like a seat I've enjoyed for a quarter of a century....

But the new suite will arrive tomorrow - a two seater settee and two chairs (we have actually only seen one of the chairs) - so I will no longer be liable to lounge in the lounge...

To the back garden for my trusty old, kind of worn-out friend...

Anne's three seater was rather more problematic...

A crowbar was used to remove its feet - while I noted the back of the settee looked as good as new...

A bit of a paint job now needed in the tightly squeezed through porch...

And then it was done...

...and the room awaits...

...a new set up...

The adding artwork project continued into the night...
