Day 2284 Clang! Clang! Went the trolley.

14th November 2023

The Beep! Beep! of the city trucks signalled the wake up call. Starting before 7.00am the clearing of the leaves had begun. I think there are two collection times that this happens which is just as well as there are plenty of the things still to drop.

The city team consists of a grabber and a fleet of trucks that take the stuff to god knows where.

They do the best they can, but there is always a lot of debris left that has to be piled up ready for the next time.

Kelli had found a free outdoor table top on a local free site and decided that we should have it, so off we went to collect it. Whatever it was came in a cardboard box, so I assume it was new, but where were the legs? So that is a project for the spring.

I started on the stripping of four dining chairs that Kelli acquired whilst I was away. Luckily they could be disassembled making it a bit easier to sand, even then it’s a days work per chair, oh happy next four days.
