Both Darrell and I are strangers to DIY stores such as B & Q and Wickes, browsing their long shelves holds no pleasure for us! Fortunately we have Andy to do stuff of a manly domestic type nature such as unplugging drains, changing light bulbs and erecting things with wood and stuff……
However Darrell is not adverse to the odd trip to the aforementioned type shop, especially if Andy has requested help to carry screws or coupling joints things.
Darrell knows that Andy likes to be left alone while he is making his selections so he tends to wander around trying to find something of interest amongst the plethora of DIY products … but this has been known to lead to unfortunate situations ……
…… and fits of the giggles, like when he saw these wooden stakes and wondered out aloud about the size of the vampire a stake of this mahooosiveness would kill and then theoreticised about the strength needed to thrust such a stake into the said vampires heart, causing Andy to sigh greatly.
Just like he did when Darrell also mused as to whether Derek Acorah knew you could get white spirit in a bottle!

I think Andy sometimes pretends Darrell isn’t with him until he is ready to pay, and then has to search aisle after aisle looking for him, last time he found Darrell with his nose right up against a stack of wooden planks ….. inhaling deeply ….
….. saying that the aroma of freshly felled timber was most romantic and made him think of lumberjacks????!!!!! What is he like?
Darrell shouldn't be sniffing things in this type of shop, apart from the flowers.
ReplyDeleteNo he could get a splinter in his nose
