22nd January 2019
I spent a lot of time on the low dresser scraping off the paint stripper, washing down and adding more stripper. In between this I was out in the garage breaking down old Shaky and removing the back panel. The top was held on with nails, that I eased up carefully but not carefully enough as a piece broke along a glue line, which is not the end of the world. It was really cold today at -2C so my time periods in the garage were dependant on whether I could feel my fingers or not.
Kelli and Greer went off for a girls day out, leaving me and the dogs to fend for ourselves. I have to let them out several times for a piss, sniff or a bark, but often I get distracted, and forget to let them back in again. Regularly I will get a text message reminding me to check that they have not frozen solid on the step.
Kelli kept up the Goodwill visits with another collection of flotsam and jetsam. I know she likes going there alone as I usually make facial expressions at the things she finds. This is because my imagination cannot appreciate how these pieces could ever be re-sold.
I trust Kelli, as often many go very quickly, and others will eventually join the growing pile gathering dust in the garage. On the positive side, she will often go through them again, and re-paint them and find a buyer.
There have been the occasional crazy piece that can never be sold, these become legends, and the subject of me teasing Kelli mercilessly.
Another Lifetime to go
