Day 2066 Feeling SMUG

10th April 2023

Another bad night for both of us, I don’t understand because I was nodding off in front of the television, but when it was time to sleep, I just couldn’t. The hours passed, still nothing, Kelli got agitated, I didn’t. At some time we did sleep, but not a full deep sleep, but better than nothing.

Monday was our shopping day, we had just pulled in to the supermarket when Kelli got a phone call to tell her our new fridge had arrived and they were waiting outside.

We drove straight out of the car park and back home.

We could see the large cardboard box as soon as we turned into our road with the delivery man waiting patiently.

Of course we weren’t prepared, I thought it would be delivered on the 12th, so we had to hastily rearrange the garage to store it.

That turned into a full spring clean with all the crap pieces we were keeping getting pulled out, dusted off, and put at the side of the road.

I set about dismantling the desk. Originally it was a walnut veneer, but sometime in its life someone applied a coating and mock wood grain on it, then the last owner painted over the top, and then Pete come along and strips it all back.

The weather was in the sixties and fabulous, I can’t wait to get some colour into my white English legs.
