A beautiful apricot coloured sunrise for a start...then on with the jobs!!
Washing, then as our neighbour came for his cuppa and putting the world right...I left him and Pirate to it and finished off stripping the sofa..in said neighbour's garage, a very generous offer!
Would you believe it, I found the missing fire safety label...inside the sofa!!!! Inside it's construction, not just slipped down under a cushion.
The leather got packed up , the seat frame will be a small cold frame for me, the rest of the wood, mostly ply, will be firewood for our neighbour's workshop stove.
The webbing will go to Pirate's elder daughter for upholstery, the foam padding will be packing for parcels. I am not sure where the polyester pads will go, but they are clean...and the feet we have already used to raise our present sofa 10 centimetres, making it easier to use.
Then more packing , sales this time, not just some bike bits but an electric guitar case as well...that took a fair bit of construction!! Pirate had a session riding his turbo trainer while I packed.
With a couple of family birthday cards, that all definitely justified the trip to the post office.
Back home again in time to sell a wheel locally..the best way to do business.
Pirate has been working on my bike, it now has a rack for pannier bags that suits it, we have an old set of mudguards to be fitted and today's "fun" has been working out how to fix a bottle cage with a gizmo...that's what it is called!! It's taken a while, but now he has worked out that the zip ties which hold it don't go the expected way.
It's been one of those days that no photos were taken, but plenty of things got done.
