Day 2533 Firesmoke Sunday.

21st July 2024

It was great to have people round and to get the grill going. The weather was perfect, hot with the occasional breeze, just right to have a burning furnace blasting your face.

We had our friends Chris, Jill and manic Morgan who we hadn’t seen for ages.

I managed to cook chicken, sausages and a couple of burgers without charring them to a crisp.

Earlier we had to do some last minute touches to the heavy dresser we were delivering today.

Some staining had appeared on the side panels, and needed refinishing. I sprayed over them with a spirit based primer, then once dry, Kelli repainted them.

Getting it into the truck was difficult, we had to asked the big guy across the road to help.

It was a short distance to the drive for delivery, and equally difficult to unload, but once it was in position it looked great.

However in getting it out of the truck, a small piece of wood had broken off, we didn’t realise this had happened until we got a message from the customer, luckily it broken piece was still in the back of the truck, so I have to go round tomorrow to fix it.

I am a practical person, I love making things, and especially working with wood. I appreciate good design, music and food.
