4th April 2025
Recently there has been a steady stream of reading glasses delivered to our house. Almost everyday a new pair will arrive, and without fail they are returned. There are samples of every frame style and colour, in quantities that would make Elton John and Dame Edna jealous.
I’m not sure what she is looking for, there are glasses dotted all over the house, there are ones for work, some for leisure, some are tinted some are bi-focal, there is no point in her asking me to find a particular pair, I just look lost.
The sun was out today, I had to check to see if it’s time that I can clear the winter debris, that irritates me every time I look outside, but no, there has to be a run of five days of a certain temperature before I can get at it.
I can see life sprouting from the ground bursting through the blanket of leaves that are supposed to be protection for bees and other bugs. Soon my bluebells will bloom signalling the start of the American spring.
I was out in the garage finishing the stripping of a badly painted dresser, it has been a labour of love getting all the layers of old paint off, now it will be refinished in it’s natural timber.
We took pictures of the other dresser that I picked up a couple of days ago, we paid more than usual because we just wanted to clean it and flip it, as of this evening we had someone interested, we shall see if it become a sale.
