12th September 2020
It was a sad day, a day when the pool had to be emptied, it was the end of our summer indulgence, and it was like losing a dear friend.
I got the pump out and started the process going. Then it started raining.
For a time the pump had a job of keeping up, there was more coming down than going out.
I finally had to call a halt to the draining as we we due up to Mom’s for a birthday celebration. It was Brenda’s birthday, so all the family gathered to have a slice of cake.
I was not feeling my best, the changes in humidity plays with my head and I wandered around in a fog all day.
The humidity effects everything, from paint drying to adhesive curing.
I had my first veneer failure, probably because I took it out of the clamps too soon.
Damn and blast, I had to remove the veneer with a heat gun and scraper, and start all over again.
I glued up another drawer front, this time I was planning to leave it clamped up all night.
Kelli had a fall tonight as she came to inquire if I wanted a cup of tea. She entered the sunroom, her foot landing on top of a dog chew. Her leg buckled, as she lurched forward, and landed in a heap on the floor, I was thankful she wasn’t carrying my cup of tea at the time, what a waste that would have been. Fortunately she wasn’t hurt other than her pride. I assured her that nobody had seen the incident, and promised her that I would not tell anyone, other than the one person who reads my blog. I have always said that Kelli has very small feet and it’s a wonder she can walk on them at all. I call them “half full size feet”, because compared to mine they are tiny, or maybe mine are large.
