Day 2310 Turning tables

10th December 2023

The table was being collected today, but first we had to drive to Grandville to collect a desk.

With a bit of luck this will already be sold to a lady who has already bought two dressers that we are holding until March 2024.

This will be converted into two side tables, a favourite with the marketplace.

The place was a large warehouse filled with all kinds of stuff. There were already three desks that were spoken for, so we were fortunate to get one.

Once we were back I just had to wax the table top for a final time, making it really smooth and shiny.

The customer was excited to see the finished product results.

I was happy with the response, it became a labour of love, but I was glad to see it go.

Then it was dog walking day, and although it was sleeting we dressed appropriately and proceeded around our normal route.

Milly requires a lot of exercise to drain that energy she has as a one and a half year old puppy.

There was then an appointment at Kelli’s mum for ice cream at four, but we should have been there at three, so everyone else had left. Not to worry, I had a bowl of vanilla and chocolate that I savoured.

Afterwards we had to climb the stairs to rooms that are no longer used other than storage to search out Christmas decorations.

There were carrier bags full of stuff for different seasons, something that is common here.

But nothing was organised, Kelli’s old bedroom was filled with, in my opinion, junk, and things needed to be stored more appropriately.

Well we found a few things and carried them downstairs.

Getting back home, we let Milly out of the cages, of course she just wanted to play. Not the best time because we had to make dinner, and eventually sit and eat it.

So there was unwanted activity for a while, until she got worn out, then she sat next to Kelli and fell asleep snoring loudly.

We are continually revising our routine, to find the best way of controlling her energetic nature.

Peanut butter in a cone can give us a good thirty minutes of peace and quiet, and boy that is welcomed.
