last night
Last night, I was trying to fix some dangly festermas decoration to the ceiling with a thumbtack and a hammer somewhere it couldn't be thwipped by kittens. I was on a stepstool, everywhere I went there were high-level crawlways and I couldn't find anywhere to put the thing.
I did see a flush glass light-fitting I hadn't known about though: no light in it, but it had a 13A socket and a keyhole. I could also see that the ceiling plaster on the left side of the room was bowing down and, on the right side, there was a section of wall plaster in a corner that had been flipped out to form a rectangular cavity.
Lots of other people around, though I remember nothing at all about them other than some (also around the ceiling) were workmen of some sort.
Later, I was driving home and stopped at lights (in Hotwells?) behind![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jonhoneyball and Andre (WINOLJ). I walked up and asked them where they were going; they were evasive, but eventually admitted to be heading for the zoo and asked if I wanted to join them. I declined - I had to go home - but I suggested they let me pass and I'd lead them there, as they weren't sure of the route.
I went back to my car; I was in the Landie (though it had transmogrified from a Disco into a Defender for some reason). I passed them and led them down through a long series of twisted, narrow, steep lanes and deserted vaguely mediterranean looking courtyards until, eventually, I could see headlights moving (it seemed to have got dark somewhere along the way) and we reached a major road and turned right.
I woke up before we got any further, but I'm reasonably sure we were on Clifton Down by that point and nearly there.
