29th August Friday
It certainly felt a bit fresh around the kneecaps this morning, a sign that summer is slipping away. Kelli was planning to go on a Goodwill binge with Elaine, not so much for herself but for Elaine who has been suffering with anxiety and depression. This gave me a chance to crank up my playlist of old gits music and do a bit of serious machining.
I had to square up the old door, which went better than expected, the rule of measure a hundred times and cut once worked well.
We had the dresser collected this afternoon, a good end of the month result.
Kelli returned with a bag full of stuff that I will have to try on at some time.
She was excited to try a colour remover that had been delivered today. She had an article of clothing that she felt was too bright, and wanted it toned down a little. I volunteered to give moral support, although I’m not an expert at colour removal, I’m just good at adding bits of colour to my clothes.
She had watched a few YouTube videos and was eager to try it.
There was a large pot of boiling water on the hob, two packets of this stuff was added, and then the article of clothing was submerged.
Amazingly the colour started to seep out, after about ten minutes, she lifted the sodden item out of the pot, and into the sink to rinse it thoroughly.
I was expecting a huge disappointment, but it turned out pretty good, Kelli was pleased, and I was relieved.
Another Lifetime to go
