Good morning - much better temperature in the bay today - one of Robies cleaners are here today giving me a spring clean much appreciated- over all the drama if traffics lights and vaccination rates and mandates etc etc etc - couldn’t go to my grandsons prize giving yesterday to see him get a major award and that really made me sad - his grandad would have been so proud as it was called the good man award for being compassionate caring etc
I think I mentioned last week I swapped a chair for a loaf of homemade bread - drove me mad for a couple of days trying to remember the name it so finally googled Art Deco chairs - it’s a Cintique chair nearly fell off my chair up popped one in an antique shop $1900 in really poor condition-mine was in reasonable condition - a friend of mine mentioned that the girl had moved next door with practically nothing in her house but was excellent at recycling -had found a lot of upholstery fabric and was looking for a chair to recover so I told her to tell her to come and have a look -I have told my friend who has been following the reupholstering with praise that I had found out it is special - she is just going to mention to her that it is worth a dollar or two so don’t ever just let somebody give her $50 - actually when I shifted here it was on the truck to go to the recyclers and it fell off so am pleased somebody who needs it has it
The rimu boxes are beautiful kiwimade - your grandchildren are going to have so many family heirlooms
Did your son manage to start trading
My car insurance has gone up 30% - when I queried it was told it was because of the flood risk after last years flooding here in Napier ! It never ends
Better go and make my cleaner a cuppa
