Day 909 Ear ache

4th February 2020

I disassembled the extension pieces of the dining table, taking pictures as I went to ensure that I put it back together again correctly. I managed to strip the top and under surface, so I was able to stain the underside with the black stained that was supplied.

I also put a coat of paint on the desk pedestals that will become side tables.

I was bouncing around the garage working on one piece and then another.

We had been working on the multi-coloured dresser that had morphed into an attractive blue grey number with the cedar top oiled to a smooth finish. There had been a bit of damage to the back corner that I had filled, but it didn’t look good enough. So I made a simple up-stand for the back edge that hid the repair and gave it a bit of interest.

At the end of the day I was tired and hungry, so what better place to go but New Holland.

But first it was a good hot shower, and afterwards Kelli wanted to do a bit of grooming to my eyebrows. At the same time trim the growth in my ears. The trimmer sounded like she was scalping a hedge. Afterwards she was poking away with something, I didn’t see with what, but I certainly felt it as she yanked out a rogue hair with a pair of tweezers. My eyes watered, as they do with anything to do with tweezers.

This male grooming routine for me is torture that frightens the begeebers out of me, respect to all the ladies.
