DVT DAY 284

So Thursday dawns and the decorators arrive for the last time. I get up and get ready for a meeting followed by an open forum. They went okay. I have time for a quick spat with the RCP over their attitude to services and me. Anything out of that can wait till 2021 if I can be arsed. By the time I emerged from the bedroom, which was the only space available to work in this morning, the decorators had left! its time to set about putting the house back in order. I re-wax and polish two big storage chests that live in the hall and return them to there places. I clear the lounge and put the new rug down. I designer affair that is supposed to be inspired by the frozen ice of the skating rink in Central Park.

Gradually things come together but it will take tomorrow and the weekend to get everything sorted. I unpack my Amazon parcels and set about replacing the machine heads on the banjo that I’m restoring. It goes well.

Next comes the restringing and tuning, which also goes well with the aid of the banjo tuner app I downloaded on to the phone.

Tea and a film while my partner does her on line singing lesson and then we try to find new curtains for the lounge. We succeed but of course they are out of stock. That’s life for you. I write the blog while watching Christmas specials of Mock the Week. Midnight, time for bed, reflection and recall.
