Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 8
I started the day picking out the raisins from my bran flakes, not that I don’t like raisins, just not in my cereal.
Another morning of checking the conditions of the world, trying to make sense of all the relief that has been promised to Americans.
Kelli remarks at all the posts on Facebook that derides all the advice given by the experts. She keeps a tally of the cases in Michigan, and the one in Holland that she knew personally. There is also another suspected case just in the next street, and she knows her as well!
Seclusion can get to you, all the freedom you have taken for granted is suddenly questioned.
A busy day for collections. The lady came to collect the large entertainment centre. First we unloaded a desk that she wanted repainting and the top stripped and re-stained.
Then we loaded the big piece. This was certainly easier to load than it was to take out, so with a delighted customer we turned our attention to the freebie we got last night.
We gave it a good clean, touched up a few marks and Kelli posted it on Marketplace as a project piece, and had someone on it straight away.
We pushed it outside, and awaited the buyers as we worked in the garage.
We knew when they arrived, we heard the sound of a heavy piece of furniture straining someone’s greens, and probably ruining them for the rest of the day, but we made money from it.
I had started work on the dining chairs we picked up a couple of weeks ago. They were in a worse state than I thought, most of the joints were loose which meant tapping them apart and rebuilding.
Another Lifetime to go
