Day 1486 Doldrum Pete

5th September 2021

This was a funny old day, I couldn’t settle on anything, I was bored.

There are a lot of projects to do, but I didn’t feel enthusiastic. I was thinking about England, and how much I miss being there.

Of course this wasn’t suppose to happen, my plan was to return frequently, but Covid and the residency is taking its toll on my patience.

At least we sold the bookcase, that was a consolation, and we gave away the old bed.

Which just goes to show you can get rid of anything.

I had intended to do work in the garden, I managed to cut up an old pallet and that was it. I got distracted by other jobs calling to me.

I fitted a wooden top to another dresser, hopefully we can get that posted tomorrow.

We had a couple arrive with a round dining table that they wanted stripping back and re finishing. It also had a broken leg the needed repair.

They were happy with my quotation, and left it for me to work on.

The day dragged on, I watered the prairie garden and the raspberry plants. There hadn’t been any rain for ages, and the grass really looks thirsty, I didn’t think I would ever wish for rain, but we could do with a splash
