Day 2458 Deaf as a post.

6th May 2024

Kelli wanted a small freezer that we could fit into the storage room so that we could store any vegetables and other things for the winter.

Ideally it would be a 3.5 cubic foot unit that wouldn’t take up all the space and we don’t intend to keep a deer in it. So Kelli searched Market place and found a free one, but in my opinion it was too big, but we agreed to go and check it out, so that was the first thing on our agenda for the day.

We found the place, it was relatively close, and it was a duplex. This is two houses joined together, we would call it a semi-detached. We were told that the owner would leave it on the drive for us to look over it, but it wasn’t there. All that I could see was a brown sofa that looked like it had been attacked by a werewolf, not something I would like to sit in.

So we left to go on to the next port of call, a house that had a bag of knobs and handles.

That was easy, next was a hardware store to buy some edging for the lawn. We knew the kind we wanted but did not see any on the shelves.

I decided to ask for assistance, there was an old chap at the end of an isle but he had his back to me. I tried to make as much noise as possible in my approach so as not to frighten him to death.

I asked him for some help, nothing. I asked again this time a bit louder, still nothing. I noticed he had an hearing aid, I guess it wasn’t working. I decided to walk away and try and find someone else. The next person had perfect hearing so we explained what we wanted. Unfortunately they didn’t have them in stock but assured us they would be in stock on Wednesday. With this promise, we set off back to the house.

We finished the large dresser dragged it out and took pictures, Kelli posted it and within a few hours we had a buyer. The bench that we posted yesterday hasn’t had much interest, hopefully that will change soon.

I spent time weeding the garden, filling the wheelybin up to the rim, that will take a bit of lifting into the truck, it’s amazing how heavy grass and weeds can get.
