Give it away now
More goods shifted in a charitable direction. This time we phoned ahead, and the Children's Society (not the Children's Trust - I think I made that up) in Reigate made positive noises. Again, no place to park, so we had to use the magic hazard lights, but fuck it, slowing down the Bell St traffic on the one-way system is a small price to pay. We started taking in the boxes (this time, six of videos, two of books), and, God bless them, the staff in there started to look a little vexed by the third delivery, so we put them out of their misery and offered to stop after six boxes. They seemed relieved. Nipped next door to St Catherine's Hospice, told them we had one box of videos and one box of books and they took them off our hands. Result. Another empty car. Only about four boxes of books and four of videos to go.

Is this interesting? Funnily enough, Radio Times phoned through with next week's choices and The Birds came up as candidate for the Movie Moment feature, where I describe one scene in detail. I offered to do it, thinking I had the film on DVD. Turns out I had it on video. And now the Children's Society have it on video.
