Day 3111 Firm, but kind.

20th February 2026

The lady arrived early to collect the dresser we posted yesterday, a great start to the day, now we need more stuff to work on.

Marketplace has been lean on low price or free dressers so we drove to Goodwill to see if they had any.

The result was no, the only thing we found was a bookcase without shelves for three dollars, so being desperate we bought it, I had some thick ply that would make suitable shelving.

We also drove to the other store on the north side, but they had even less. 

Whether it was the weather that was slowing down the supply we can’t be sure, but it has been a cold one.

And talking about a cold one, the snow came back, not a lot, but everything is white again.

Winnie has been a bit lively lately, around early evening she goes crazy, racing around the back garden, refusing to listen to my call for her to come inside the house. I have resulted to squeezing a toy to get her attention, but that doesn’t alway work.

I have  made the rule that if she doesn’t settle, she goes into her cage for ten minutes, Kelli doesn’t like to do it, but we would not get anything done, we would spend all our time checking where she was, and making sure she hadn’t pissed somewhere.
