Day 2509 Blithering idiots

27th June 2024

This evening I sat though part of the Presidential Debate, two old men bickering almost incoherent. I really feel sorry for Americans because this is the choice they are given.

I learnt nothing from it, I heard nothing about how they will help the working classes.

They desperately need a third option, these old duffers couldn’t even answer the questions they were asked, it was embarrassing television.

On a more productive note, Kelli had a list of places to go to pick up things.

First stop was to pick up some cushion covers, oh yes cushion covers, how many cushion covers do we need? Apparently a few more.

Next stop was to pick up a free dresser.

There was a precise time that we had to be at the address, we got there a little early and waited.

We waited a few minutes when out of the corner of my eye a car flashed into view, almost immediately it shot into the driveway, almost causing our truck to shake.

After a short pause, and after my eyes focused I saw the signage on the side of the car, it was for a driving school!

A large black lady got out smiling, she ushered us into her house, the dresser was in the bedroom. It was a gloomy place, not much light penetrated. It was a heavy piece, and large, like so much free furniture that we’ve had recently.

We removed the drawers and as much loose stuff as possible, that made it possible to move. The first obstacle was getting into the hallway.

Standing it up on end solved that. Once that was cleared it was a lot easier, however once we were outside, the sunlight stung our eyes, and we negotiated the rest of the way by instinct.

It just about fitted in the back of the truck, the drawers were placed on top, we closed the doors and drove off to the next port of call.

There was a quilt to be collected, where from?

It was not down the road, it was not a couple of miles away, it was near Hudsonville!!

I gave Kelli a bit of stick over that, I didn’t mean it, but she is alway quiet where there are things to collect from out of town, but it was a sunny day, and we had an early start, and we would get back relatively early, so what the heck.
