1st March 2020
I had to walk to the corner store this morning. The temperature was in the mid fifties, and the sun was shining down. The pavements were crowded with walkers and joggers, this was the most crowded the street has been so far this year.
The lake was looking bright and ready for the onslaught of small crafts that will soon be navigating their way towards the big lake.
I collected some mushrooms, courgettes and a bottle of red wine from the shelves and walked slowly back.
I did a little work in the garage, nothing to raise any dust as I wanted to put a finish on the mid century dresser. I also took the green desk apart. This is solid oak, but the top had split into three pieces. Fortunately the glue had failed along the joint, so a bit of cleaning up and a re-glue and it will be whole again.
I had bought a can of tinted polyurethane to help disguise a mark in the top. I had learnt the trick from people on YouTube, and excited to try it for myself. I had to stand on a stool to get some height, this was not the safest platform, but as long as I didn’t get too animated with the spray can I should be fine.
Happily it went well, the colour differences were blended and, although the shallow dip was still visible if looked at against the sun, you had to look hard to notice it.
So with the top drying and the desk now separated into the two separate pedestals I stopped my work for the day.
