Well today was VERY interesting LOL
Toni and I went to pick up a TV from Maldon for Sophie (she won it on eBay for a whopping £5.50). We set off with out Google Map in hand and all went well and we got to Maldon just fine. Unfortunately the problem was in the detail as it transpired that the place we were looking for was not where Google thought it was.
Thankfully I was assisted by a very kind gentleman who took a break from washing his three cards to help me locate the offending street. We started with his Sat Nav which came up with a blank and then he brought out his laptop and two other map engines later we thing we found the missing street. Success, we arrived just as the seller got back and so loaded the HUGE TV into the car and then headed off to Galleywood to drop it off at Sophie's flat.
Getting the TV into Sophie's flat was a real challenge! The TV weighted a ton and Toni and I struggled to get it out of the car and then onto the pavement. With a lot of effort we managed to get it up onto the front step and then got it onto a sleeping bag so we could drag it through the rest of the flat to the living room! It was HARD work!
We then went to Lidl to get some supplies and headed back to SWF for lunch!
After lunch I printed out another Google Map and Toni, Gemima and I headed off to Southend to go and see Laura at her art exhibition. Once again Google let us down and the place the venue was supposed to be was NOT where it really was. Fortunately Laura gave us good directions and we made it just in time for the end of the exhibition.
We then went back to Dan and Laura's to chill out, have coffee and so that Gemima could see the kittens. It was exhausting watching Gemima play with the kittens and none of them seemed to run out of energy!
Once we got home everyone was knackered so we had dinner and watched a bit of Red Dwarf before we all went and crashed out
