It was an early visit to Gloria’s to finish fitting out her jewellery storage unit. The job was to line out the top section with polished pine, and as I had already pre cut the panels to fit the final assembly was a doddle.
We got another bike ride in, this time to Castle Park a place so exclusive that even the grass did not wave at us. It is an impressive place, with some amazing houses clinging to the hillsides. There is even a Roman style amphitheater set in a valley, gorgeous place.
There were plans to drive to Saugatuck to collect some coffee and side tables that need refinishing, but that was put off for another day. Instead there were the two desk pedestals to work on.
Once we felt we’d done enough, it was pool time, so relaxing, watching the birds flying about, pure indulgence.
After eight months my Anglepoise floor standing lamp arrived. I had almost forgotten about it, but I was finally able to put it together and place it next to the sofa. There was also a forty watt bulb supplied so I didn’t have to scramble about to find one. Now, the only comment from Kelli about one of Sir Kenneth Grange’s finest designs was “ it’s a bit dim”.
“ A bit dim!” I said, “ Not everything is about light output”.
