Day 1912 A scratch in time

8th November 2022

It was a change from decorating, but it was a big day for us. I needed to clean up the garage because we had the people coming to deliver the dining table with the scratch on it. I swept out all the leaves that blew in when the garage door is open.

It was also the day when Kyle the mouse exterminator came to inspect the traps, I think there is one more visit and it will be done.

With the amount of poison he’s laid in the lofts, it won’t be a heathy place for mice to be.

We had to go and collect a small desk from somewhere out in the plains of Trumpsville, that is the farming area of Holland. I fail to see what that man did for farmers apart from stopping their crops from being exported.

We are into the mid terms season, when every media was trying to urge you to vote. There is a strong possibility that the Republicans will take back the House of Representatives with a host of crazy election deniers, this, I fear will be the end of America as we know it. After two hundred and forty years, the land of the free, won’t be anymore.

The people with the table turned up scratch and all. They would like it back for thanksgiving, so I proceeded to try to repair the scratch using superglue to fill in the groove, then careful scraping to remove the excess, this kind of worked, but I could still see a faint line, so I decided that the finish would have to be removed and a new one applied, fo that’s my job for the next few days.

Kelli wanted to start the desk dis-assembly which is what I usually do, but she ended up doing a better job of it. I put it down to excellent tutoring by me.
