Day 892 Their loss.

18th January 2020

The people who wanted the dresser came to look at it. They were an older couple who wanted something for their son’s room.

There was something about their mannerisms that made me think it wouldn’t go well.

Now considering I went out and cleared the snow from the drive to make it easier to carry things out, meant that the smile on my face was plastered over seething expression.

Kelli had warned me that the lady was concerned about how the drawer moved, and they shouldn’t tip too much when fully open.

I had made sure that wouldn’t happen, so I made an anti tip device for the top drawer.

In fact I paid particular attention to the drawers, but considering it was an oldish dresser it wasn’t perfect, but it worked.

However Kelli was right, They were obsessed with the drawers and how they worked, pulling them in and out several times. They liked the piece but thought it was too good for what they wanted it for, so they passed on it.

That was a bit of a downer, but luckily the second person who wanted the bookcase went much better, and we made the sale.

The snow started again in the evening. We went into town to eat, and the fine dusty snow was swirling around the roads. It all looks wonderful, but it makes the journeys treacherous.

We were surprised how busy the place was considering the weather. But it looks like instead of staying warm at home people prefer to get cold and wet to eat out. Nowt strange as folk.

It the evening I experienced a spoonerism.

We had been watching an British tv programme “The Repair Shop” when I said something like “a clicking tock” I realised immediately what I had said and howled with laughter, I think this is the first I have ever made one.
