Day 2272 Back to black

2nd November 2023

It was back to normal, that is driving to Aldi to do the shopping. My cold was still hanging on, and although I didn’t feel bad, my tired eyes made me look it.

I had to force myself to walk into the garage, but it was a pleasant experience because it was so tidy.

It even forced me to return things to their correct places, up to now an unknown concept.

My first job of this new era was a large black dresser that needed some veneer repairs to the top. Luckily I had some veneer that was similar which I spliced in. The drawer fronts were also in a bad way, but they needed to be stripped so that I could see the extent of the damage.

All three had veneer damage ranging from minor edge area to seriously large patches. There is still the decision on what finish the fronts will be.

My evening was much the same as last night with my eyes closing during a TV program.

I expect a couple more days of jet lag before I’m back to normal.

Whilst I had been away one of the under cabinet lighting units had come away from the double sided tape attachment, Kelli had solved the problem in her most pragmatic way, it did make me smile.
