Fence The Brownie
Why 'Fence the Brownie'? Your guess is as good as ours. Daniel was two years old (now 46) when he got this dog and he decided on the name. It really amused us and it stuck. So when he was pulled from an attic box today Marlane shouted at me "Look who I've found", to which I replied "Fence the Brownie", some things just stick, no matter how old or doolaly tap you get. Do you know where 'Doolaly Tap' comes from? it should really be Deolali, look it up, it's interesting.
Fence the Brownie was in one of the two boxes that came down today, the last of them. Oh, by the way, he's been through the washing machine, he doesn't normally look like that! When dry he will be brushed up and look like new.
One of the boxes today was a HUGE Harrods box, obviously contained a hamper, which Marlane used to order for Christmas. It only just fits through the attic opening, end on.
The Extra is just a tiny sample of the soft toys, Barbie dolls, My Little Ponies, etc. that have been stripped (I closed my eyes when taking the clothes off the half a dozen Barbies), and put into the washing machine, about 4 loads.
Apart from getting the boxes down, loading the washing machine and taken them out, it's been Marlane who has, and still is, doing all the tidying, brushing, fluffing, and de-fluffing, of all of the toys and clothes. She's got a lot more to do tomorrow.
I might Blip Fence the Brownie when he's tidied up.
P.s. video of the ride, all 14 minutes of it, covering 560 miles :-)
