17th September 2023
There wasn’t much on the agenda today, we moved the small round table into the sunroom marking the end to outdoor eating.
There a chance to catch up on all the unedited news, I’ve got fed up with all the two party slanging match. I learnt that Americans are kept at each other’s throat through fear so the news is designed to keep the fires burning.
After breakfast, I had to mask up a couple of chairs that had been returned to us with paint scratched off part of the back. We had painted them almost a year ago. The masking is what takes the time, carefully sticking small pieces of masking tape around the spindles is a real fiddly job.
In the afternoon, we had to go to Kelli’s mum for Brenda’s birthday cake cutting and eating, I like that bit. It was fun kicking Brenda’s small dog’s ball in difficult places and watch the little bugger try to retrieve it. For once I had a decent slice of cake, although that was because there was only a few of us there.
Once the celebration was over we came back and took the dogs around the lagoon, of course Phoebe had to poop on someone’s lawn, fortunately we always carry a poop bag with us.
