Badger Towers

Sunday 14th March

On a quick visit to my mum in Exeter for Mother’s Day we visit Tobys Reclamation in Exminster. Having never been to a reclamation yard before we really enjoy it.  So much inspiration, and not a uPVC window in sight.  We look for some rolltop bath feet, but the ones they have are all rusty and have griffins’ feet.  I refuse to have griffins’ feet on my bath. Not even Peter Griffin’s feet.

I’m getting a feeling we might go a bit Art Nouveau in places.  I quite like the swirly lines and floaty ladies. Mrs Badger seems to agree but says she’ll have to see it first.  This usually means “yes maybe meaning no”.  I will keep working on her.

Found today while tidying Mum’s loft:

My old Matsui stereo, which lasted me from Christmas 1988 until I had some money in my bank in 1997. Terrible sound, but I certainly got my money’s worth out of it.

The missing half of the Scalextric (photo to follow) - kept

A bag of soft toys and teddies - kept

Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual - kept

Novell Netware 3.12 - chucked

A big stack of PC Zone cover CDs - chucked

Red Dwarf books - chucked

Some awful university textbooks - Organisational Behaviour, COBOL, Formal Specification and Z (some kind of set theory). - almost ceremoniously burnt in Mum’s back garden.

Some Poker Dice - kept
