Day 1487
6th September Monday
If yesterday was a duff day for me, today was a crap one for Kelli. She had a re-occurrence of vertigo, and it knocked her back in her recovery. We carried out the Epley manoeuvre to her left side hoping that it was successful.
She now has to avoid looking down or any sharp head movements for at least twenty-four hours.
Having mentioned the lack of rain yesterday, there was a good soak last night which filled the water barrels, and the front lawn.
I started stripping the round table, it throws up a number of questions about it’s history.
First it had been stripped before, and not done very well.
The remanence of a previous finish was as hard as rock, and difficult to sand. I’m not convinced that the top is made from oak, even though the base was solid oak which made me think that the top was not original.
Today was labour day, one of America’s national holidays, where everyone goes to their cottages in the woods. It also marks the end of summer. It is noticeable that the days are a little cooler which makes it still pleasant to work in.
