Day 562 Lonesome pine

20th February 2019

We had a house viewing this morning, and the one thing I have learned is that light grey is the new neutral. It was pleasant enough, although you had to be a limbo dancer to get into the basement past the hot air conduit. The place was obviously bought and quickly painted to sell on, but without a garage and small back garden it might take time to sell.

I can’t believe I have been here all this time and not had a fire to burn up all the offcuts of timber I have accumulated. Well today was the day, I was fed up of stepping over/around the pile, so I gave the box a swift kick sending wood scraps everywhere. This I regretted a second later, but that was the excuse I needed to get the stove lit. It was a satisfying feeling to see the smoke rising into the drizzling rain.

Kelli finished painting the pine unit we pick up recently, and in its new colours looked pretty neat.

I am a practical person, I love making things, and especially working with wood. I appreciate good design, music and food.
