Arternoon. Well seeds in kitchen doing well and need to go into the polytunnel, but....the cover split badly last year. My fault that it was destroyed as I didn't fix it in time. I have a new cover but haven't put it on yet. my excuse is the recent weather. Today is lovely and I should be out there.
My excuse: My ex died last year and that's when his second wife discovered she had been giving houseroom to and caring for some of my belongings. They were delivered back to me last Monday very deliberately badly damaged. The drinks cabinet and bureau were covered in bird sh1t and paint and sprayed with some sort of chemical that has eaten into the polish and wood underneath. The desktop has been locked and forced open taking lumps out of it and bending the hinges. The key is missing as are the keyhole escutcheons, slider knobs and the two carved bits that join onto the feet. The drinks cabinet apart from the above has also had the beading ripped off the corners. The hand painted japanese tea set has some plates broken.
What she doesn't know is that I decided to learn carpentry and joinery in the last two years. There was a bit of a gap due to the pandemic. So instead of being out in the garden I'm on a mission to restore my furniture. I might have to ask the "Repair Shop" or somesuch for the porcelain as it is beyond my skills.
If it's as lovely as this tomorrow I will be out in the garden as I have to wait for specialist parts to be delivered.
