Story of the apathetic blogger...

After a great dinner with friends last night, Sophies Steakhouse, Fulham Road, where I had the swordfish and at which we debated the merits of blogging and why some do and some don't. Mostly apathy or a desire for anonymity, but mostly apathy... I felt inspired to think about it a little more.

And so today I've found an easy, perhaps not the best, but lets see, path of least resistance to writing a blog.

However it wasn't the dinner conversation that prompted me to write today. Nor the fact that I am about to finish a 3 month contract and will find myself with free time, no obligations to work or customer deadlines to meet. Just being able to stop, do a bit of navel gazing and have a holiday for as long as I want.

No, it was trying to work out how I was going to get the carpet (more on that in a moment) that came with my tent back into the box it came in, a desire to work out why so many objects are packed in such a way that you can't put them back into the box they came in once you have taken them out.

I'm dreading putting up 42kg of tent and finding that when it all has to be packed up I won't be able to get it back into the car. Even though I will be able to put the car in the tent if all else fails! A car that I can drive onto the carpet, which this huge tent includes.

Does this mean you will be using the welcome mat that also comes with the tent, to clean the car wheels before entering the tent?!

ALDI had a very nice tent, not sure about the door mat. But perhaps it is a magic carpet that will carry the family the car and the tent to any destination ?
