When I wrote yesterday's post I could not for the life of me remember what Sunday's DIY had been. Now I remember: it was assembling a Bike shed from Homebase. As yet the shed does not have a name.
At Avon cottage we have four compost bins (not counting the fifth "Bin With No Name" down by the dustbins). The first three I bought at the same time and christened Tom, Dick and Harry after the tunnels in "The Great Escape". When we added a fourth I wanted it to be called Selene (after the Greek goddess of the moon) but Mary named it Gertrude (after Gertrude Jekyll the garden designer).
Then we bought a shed and I decided it too should have a name. I thought long and hard. All of a sudden inspiration struck - I would call it Jabba. I haven't stopped chortling since.
Now we have another (bike) shed and I am once again searching for inspiration and a name. Suggestions welcome.
Naming sheds, call it "the Walter", then when telling your friends about your shed purchase you may use the handy reference points, (pauses for effect and groans), before the .... and after the ....
ReplyDeleteIn the end they were named "Arthur" and "Jackson". See http://www.mmenterprises.co.uk/blog/2006/04/arthur-two-sheds-jackson.htm
