We delivered the small cabinet / island to the lady up the road, she is gradually becoming a gold star regular. She now has three pieces of our furniture, and I bet she dreads walking past our garage in case she sees another piece she can’t live without.
With that out of the way, the next is a baby station that we’ve had for a few weeks. Neither of us are excited about it, I had stripped off the badly applied white paint, which took for ages.
The door had bowed, I had a couple attempts to rectify that which failed dismally, so I made a new one.
There are often pieces that are not interesting, that drains the energy out of us. We have several that are stacked up ready to start.
I had my time with Lloyd this afternoon, the conversation started with Dentists, and the extortionate amount they charge. That folded into spiritual things relating to the afterlife, and finishing with the question “who actually runs America “ by that time the beer has dumbed us and we parted company until next time.
Kelli had texted me to pick up things from the corner shop, then another message came through about a secretary desk that was for sale close to us. From what it looked like, we might just clean it up and sell it on.
I found the place easily, the piece was in the living room, it looked solid with a couple of stains on the top, that stops it being a quick flip, but it the top has to be refinished, it is still a quick job.
Whilst I was there the lady said that I could also take another dresser that looked a bit chewed.
I took the secretary back home and showed Kelli some pictures I had taken, she was keen, so I went back to collect it.
I get a lot of opportunity to see places where people live, some are plush, some modest, and some downright disgusting. I wouldn’t say that this place was bad, but there was a fancy Jeep in the driveway, so priorities were certainly plain to see.
Another Lifetime to go
