8th December 2024
The snow went just as quick as it had arrived, by morning it had all but disappeared. It felt very spring like outside as we collected all the dog poo that had been hidden under the white blanket.
This was our day of rest, but I couldn’t resist doing a bit of sanding, well could I?
There was another task ahead up at Kelli’s mums house. First I had to refit legs to a sofa, and adjust a door so that it latched.
The first job was simple, the second not so.
The strike plate needed to be moved a little forward and bit down so that the lock would locate. The trouble that I found was the top fixing for the lock plate was now in fresh air. The recess in the frame was cut too big, so I was unable to fit it.
So what started as a straight forward job is a little more complicated.
I will have to block up the hole in the frame and recut the aperture, but that will have to be another day.
Then there was Christmas dinner planning.
We had decided to have a buffet style spread, as there will be ten of us it would be easier to allocate the responsibility of buying all the different foods on the menu.
Fortunately or unfortunately it won’t be held at our place this year, after our disastrous thanksgiving, I’m glad.
Another Lifetime to go
