Monday started early. The Gorse Fox was wide awake and, in the end, got up at about 6:45. Ellie was already awake and she came downstairs to keep him company. There were things to do today. First on the agenda was to move the cars to make room for the skip, and move the bins so that there would be clear access along the side of the house.
Simon, the landscaper, arrived. There would be no skip needed today. The cars were moved back onto the drive. Simon grabbed his tools, enjoyed a brew, and started ripping the deck apart. Considering how long it had taken the Gorse Fox to build it, it was a shame to see it go down without a fight. Simon, however, congratulated the Gorse Fox on several occasions through the day on the way in which the deck had been built. "I've seem lots of professional built decks that are nowhere near as well constructed as this." Indeed, it was the methodical build that made it so easy for him to dismantle. By the end of the day it was nearly all gone.
UPS arrived with some packaging from Apple. This was for the Silver Vixen's old watch. The Gorse Fox got it all packed up and walked round to the UPS collection point at West Meads. With a couple of little diversions he managed to stretch it out to a nice round 5.5km walk.
With Lockdown 2.0 being lifted soon, it looks as if we may be able to restart football in early December. We'll have to see what tier we are assigned to.
