3rd February 2019
The rapid thaw continued. A lot of the snow had disappeared, and the temperature was a pleasant 43 degrees. We worked on Old Shaky in the Kitchen trying to get it finished, although we didn’t get any news of any significant sales we at least have a back log of one. I had the pleasant job of sanding wooden knobs back to raw ready to stain black.
Kelli did a great job of the paintwork, as always, so it looks like another one off the production line.
It is the day of the Super Bowl, a day when all Americans watch a game most have no idea is happening. I have only watched a game once when I was in New York with Bob Wood and Stephen Perkins. They both fell asleep half way through, bloody lightweights.
We were invited by our British friends Mike and Lesley to their friends for a dominoes evening. What I knew about dominos could be written on a postage stamp, and Kelli knew even less. So we were the ideal couple to play that game.
The evening started well, with Pete (another one) and Laura, Mike and Lesley explaining the rules. The last time I played with dominos I was using them to build little houses. So once we started playing we soon got the hang of it. Kelli took to it pretty well, and I pretended to be cool and strategic, making a few smart moves and a lot of dumb ones. Eventually Kelli came second, and I supported the lot of them by coming last.
