For several years we have stored a tandem in the garden shed. This was supposed to be a restoration project, but in all that time I have not had the time to do anything with it.
We decided that it was best to sell it on to someone who had the time to work on it.
Kelli advertised it on Marketplace and eventually someone responded and was prepared to drive for over an hour to take a look at it.
I had just wheeled it into the driveway when the buyer turned up.
He spent a long time looking over it, not usually a good sign, but eventually he reached into his pocket and handed over a fistful of dollars.
It was sad to see it leave, but I could not see a time when I could spend the amount of time needed, so it was good that it went to someone who knew about bicycles.
Then there was another visit to the garden centre for more plants. This time we wanted to brighten up a forgotten area at the side of the house. We never spend less than two hundred bucks at a time there, and this time it came in just under.
Of course when we got back, I had to dig out the patch, which in the high humidity was tiring. I mixed in compost and top soil then it was ready to plant. Afterwards we mulched the entire area, and soaked everything. I hope we don’t forget they are there.
