Summer?

God, I need a holiday – somewhere where the sun shines the whole day and for more than two days.  Apart from being a little warmer (when out of the wind) and the trees being in leaf, it’s just like the rest of the frickin’ year.

I think everything but the dolls house and some Star Trek figures sold.  A bit disappointed about that.  Surely there are Star Trek fans out there who want some old figures in good nick for bugger all.  Some other guy was selling the same thing for much more – whether he sold them or not, of course, is another matter.  I’ve relisted the dolls house and offered the figures to the watchers.

I’m saying goodbye to my Dinky and Corgi cars.  They’re probably worth a lot more than what I got for them but they were not in good condition.  I treasured them but my girls were rough with them and whatever cracks and dings they already had got worse and most of the tyres were missing.  I know you can buy replacement parts, but it was too much effort and they needed a complete strip and repaint so someone else can have that joy.  They’ve been sitting in a cupboard for at least 10 years.

There’s more stuff to sell but I can’t be bothered listing anything yet.  I find this whole selling stuff quite exhausting and frickin’ annoying going to the post office all the time to find out how much stuff costs and what will the item fit in, etc.  Some idiot in the South Island won a bid on something I asked to be picked up so I had to go and find a box big enough and find out how much then tell him and then go back and send the frickin’ thing.  I would have told him to piss off and read the advertisement properly but he’d also won the bid on something I had to send to him anyway.  It’s all a bloody pain in the arse.

Now I’m here to try and install Sims 2, following some instructions that someone else made up after she, too, had had difficulties.  She got it to work, so I’m hoping, beyond hope, that it works.  It’s going to be time consuming though, but what the hell – it’s raining and I can’t be motivated to do anything apart from bag up another pile of books to give away.  I wrote to Electronic Arts about the problem and one person said to give details.  I gave details and some idiot comes back and says to install in the correct order.  I said I did that and the idiot responds with please uninstall and reinstall.  Fucking moron didn’t address any of the specific problems I was having.  Twat.  They don’t give a fuck that their game doesn’t work on Windows 7.  They can keep frickin’ Sims 3, ugly bloody things.

Alright, I think it’s time for a cup of tea.  Obviously got up from the wrong side of the bed, all irritable.  Jasmine appears to be trying to get to a mouse she brought in and lost last night.  Oh joy.
