4th August Sunday
We drove to the hospital to have Kelli’s stitches removed, it took less than a minute, it took longer to print the release form.
However Kelli was scared to even bend her knee slightly by walking.
We stopped off at a pharmacy to buy some butterfly strip to support the wound for a longer period. Apparently the drop off on their own. The nurses thought this was not necessary, but she was scared and wanted a belt and braces option.
It was a hot day, just right for moving some furniture up at Kelli’s mums house.
Matt and Brenda had bought a secondhand sofa to furnish the upstairs ready for them to move in next month. I was volunteered to help get this piece up the stairs.
Unfortunately no one thought to measure the width of the door to the stairs. There was no way that this sofa would fit.
Some drastic measures had to be taken. I suggested cutting the legs off, that would give us about an inch clearance. This was agreed, so with a saw in hand I cut them off one by one.
Now it was just the case of moving the thing.
The perspiration was dripping as we hauled the beast into the kitchen and up the stairs.
Cameron’s girlfriend Alyssa was pulling at the top whilst I was pushing from the bottom.
It was awkward, but finally we got it into the room that will be their living space.
Now was the time for ice cream, I was so hot the damn stuff melted in front of me, I had to have a double helping.
Before all this activity, we were invited by the lady who I refinished the record player for, to see her house. It was directly opposite Kelli’s mum house so not too far out of the way. It was a pleasant home furnished in a mid century style. On the way out she gave me two bottles of sparkling wine as she held a baby shower party the previous day, and she had a lot left over.
Those will go down a treat at the next family gathering.
Another Lifetime to go
