Day 2080 Rude old git

24th April 2023

The isles of Aldi were more crowded than usual, although the trolleys are much wider than English ones, they can still jam up the place.

There was one particularly rude old git who wanted to get to the cooler cabinets where the frozen fruit and vegetables are displayed. We had stopped to look for something in particular, but sensing this chap was in a bit of a hurry I stepped back to let him get the item he wanted, there was no acknowledgment, and he let the door slam shut, knowing that Kelli wanted items in the same cabinet. He just strutted off without a word, we both looked at each other in astonishment at the man’s rudeness.

Back at the ranch, Kelli was working on painting the second dresser of the matching pair. She decided to use some of the paint that I am painting the new doors and drawer fronts which looked good against the natural colour of the maple top.

We dragged them inside to take pictures and they were posted straight away.

I had more kitchen parts to paint and drawer fronts to assemble whilst Kelli finally raked the dead leaves fro the wild flower patch at the front, she also planted seeds, so heaven knows what will come up in the next few weeks.

On the way to the supermarket we picked up a long dresser from some Hope College students, it was the kind we’ve had before, but this had seen a bit of action with a cracked top and damaged side panels. We discovered once we got home that one of the drawer fronts had been glued in place with no drawer behind, so a bit more work that we planned.
