Another no-show customer for our dresser. We should be getting used to this. Sometimes people do not realise how far they have to travel.
This time they lived in Rockford which was forty seven miles away. They asked us if we could deliver it for twenty dollars, what a sense of humour these people have.
We went to the beach for a change, it was Milly’s first time, and she loved it. We dare’t let her off the leash, but I ran along side of her, hoping to wear her out a bit, it didn’t do much for her but I’m sure I’ll sleep like a baby tonight.
We managed to get into the private area down at point west, an enclave of high end dwellings most of which are unoccupied during the winter. We didn’t even come across some old busybody reminding us that it was private. I think I would have gone for their throat rather than Milly.
We set the Christmas tree up at last. Better late than never. We had trouble deciding where it should go as there was an old watchmakers bench now occupying the usual place. As the room doesn’t have any free space along the walls, we’ve had to stick it in front of the furnace door.
I was working on the two desk pedestals preparing them to be painted, at least there is a buyer at the end of it.
