Not owning a car has its occasional problems - like needing to move heavy stuff around now and again.

Is anyone in Cambridge likely to be in a position to drive me and a couple of medium-sized boxes from the north of town to Dry Drayton (about three or four miles to the west) some time on Saturday morning? I'd happily pay a tenner for the favour.

Now sorted out - many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] aeglefinus.

Car freedom is the chance to become a true proficient in the 6 'P's ;-)

Dry Drayton? I'm intrigued! Can you say more?

I would like to get my telescope and tripod from [livejournal.com profile] fivemack, who has had it on loan, to Green Witch Astronomy, who have someone interested in buying it.

I'm not going to be around, but if you unlock this post I could point my friends list at it.

I wish I could help, but unfortunately we are horribly busy on Saturday.

If the worst comes to the worst, I could help. We're not exactly in Cambridge, though, and it'd be greener if the additional 30 miles round trip can be avoided.

(Not to mention that Saturday mornings tend to be when I catch up with much needed sleep.)

If this slips to Sunday afternoon, I may well be able to help (I realise this is almost certainly of no use at all, but just in case ...)

I believe the Clanger will be in London on Sunday.

At least, we'll be surprised if he's not home.

If you do agree an arrangement, can you follow up to let me know, so I know my services won't be required? Thanks.

All is Sorted, so your services won't be needed, but thanks for offering!

See you Sunday.

Great.

I've no unwillingness to assist - as the pickup from Henlow shows - it's just that driving three times as far to get to the pickup point as the distance from there to DD strikes my soul as inelegant.

(And yes, I did drive 30 times as far as this would have been last weekend.)

See you Sunday indeed.
