3rd December 2019
A day in the garage sanding and painting drawers ready to complete some of the commission pieces.
I also disassembled the drawerless dresser getting it ready for some extensive re-modelling.
I managed to salvage all the wood parts that will be re-used in “drawerless dresser 2” the return of the dresser with some drawers.
Kelli had to take her mother to various places, so with just the I-pad for company I soldiered on.
She got back pretty tired, I guess being in a car with someone who has health problems, and grieving a loved one can take a lot out of a person.
After one big hint we decided to go into town for something to eat. It just so happened corresponded with the Christmas parade.
The illuminated floats caused unprecedented traffic chaos. Trying to find a parking place was near impossible. We circled around like hungry vultures for a space, but it was not looking good. I suggested that we just stopped and waited until the procession ended. My logic was with the price of petrol here, they would want to drive as fast as they could to finish to save money.
As fate would have it a car pulled out of a space ahead. Kelli was on it slicker than a monkey on a greasy pole, then we noticed it was for a thirty minute stay. This was a dilemma, would anyone be patrolling the place at 7.00pm? We decided I risk it, either it would a great night out, or the most expensive meal ever, we would wait to find out.
We had to send out positive messages that we wouldn’t get a ticket, and sure enough it worked, we had a good time, and cheated the system at the same time.
