Life is strange, I spent yesterday ranting about the lack of “friends” inviting us out, and blow me, I had a call tonight asking that I meet up for a beer tomorrow. This is an older guy I only met this week when we delivered all that furniture to the small cupboard storage unit.
It took me completely by surprise because he rang on my American phone, the first one I’ve had. So stunned was I , I had forgotten how to answer it. I must have sounded like a complete idiot, but he persisted and we agreed to get together at the Irish pub in town.
Earlier this morning we had a couple arrive to collect the long light green dresser, a welcomed sale. We are hoping that the blue mid century dresser gets picked up tomorrow.
There was a lot of activity in the garage with Kelli painting a small dresser and I took apart the bench we picked up by the side of the road in the week. The paintwork was flaking and easy to strip, but somehow the black dust covered my face and made me look like a panda.
We managed to drive down to the beach to give the dogs a good walk. It was a sunny day just right for a stroll amongst the dunes. No doubt the bulldozers will be out smoothing out the sand ready for the holiday season.
On the way back Kelli noticed that Dhama was hanging back, I was in charge of her, and didn’t notice that she was laying dog eggs on the pathway, of course these were quickly bagged up, but then it had to be carried unceremoniously back to the truck. There is nothing I like worse than holding a bag containing dog dods, other than scooping it. So an interesting day full of variety.
