Another glorious day in America. Kelli had some returns to do at UPS and I had to buy some modelling clay to make a mould of a lock escutcheon to add to other drawers where they were missing.
We also had to pick up a couple of furniture pieces from our storage facility.
I got my clay from Hobby Lobby, a vast emporium of reproduction farmhouse furniture and every sort of craft materials you can shake a stick at, and even the stick itself.
On display were stocks of autumnal paraphernalia, and it’s not even summer yet.
These sorts of stores leave me cold, there is no soul. I enjoyed the small arts supply shops that draws you in and you can’t leave until you have bought something. I have numerous drawing pads, crayons and pastels that have yet to be used.
Fortunately there is a stationers in the town, where I used to buy the primacolour coloured pencils that I used to take back for my friend Martin.
Yesterday Kelli got some gossip from a neighbour about the noisy vehicle that has suddenly appeared across the road. Apparently it belongs to the lodger that lives there, so it won’t go away any time soon.
This brings the total number of cars over there to five, it’s like a bloody car park. Kelli will be monitoring the noise level from this vehicle, so City Hall, get ready.
Another Lifetime to go
