Clear and sunny with lots of wind = good drying weather. I am loving having some decent outdoor drying space in this place, everything smells better having been outdoors and the wind helps get rid of some of the excess pet hair and dust that's always around. I've already managed to do a load of clothes and a load of towels, I now have sheets on the line and another small load of clothes in the washing machine.
Facebook managed to create duplicate listings so I woke up to a bunch more "is this available?" messages ๐คฃ No. No it is not.
I managed a nice late sleep in this morning. I intend to do very little today. Maybe a nice meandering dog walk, mixing up the new batch of dog food, and I should rescue the terrarium from the car as it is probably wondering where all the light's gone.
Before paying to have someone pick up my old fridge and freezer I decided to try Marketplace to give them away. It did not go well. Apparently "must be picked up ASAP today" is easily confused for "pick up maybe tomorrow" or "I'll deliver to you tomorrow in Thomastown".
Ded.
Van is packed to the gills, nature strip is 100% hard rubbish and I'm just waiting on the fridge and freezer being picked up so I can go home.
I declare tomorrow a day of rest.
7/10 I don't care about any sports, so those ones are always guesses!
Thanks for the encouragement. It doesn't help that life doesn't stop until you finish, you still have to go to work and cook and clean and mow the lawn which takes up lots of time too. I'm also giving myself a bit of leeway as I had a week off work with a cold, but it feels like it's taking forever, even if in reality it's not been that long.
It's the Rome bedside table from B2C Furniture. It does not come in black, but the Paris bedside table does.
The bedside tables are assembled!
They may win the award for worst designed flat pack I've ever experienced. Multiple screws with a hex fitting recessed into the wood so you can't get tools into them and can only turn a hex key less than a quarter turn before having to reposition. Plus a couple of instructions that were physically impossible. I had to make a few alterations to make it possible to get them together, but I think they are done solidly enough. The quality of the actual components is good and I like the overall design, but actually putting them together was definitely not something I'd want to repeat.
Still far too many boxes to unpack, unfortunately. I'm hoping I have enough of the funiture assembled and positioned now that I can focus on the actual unpacking and sorting.
I've just put together the small bookshelf I bought for the lounge room, now I just need to summon the energy to do the bedside tables and I'll be done with flatpacks. Tomorrow I'll be taking the polystyrene to the recycling centre and finalising the stuff at my old house. Then I'll be able to fully focus on the unpacking and sorting here.
porridge eaten, dog walked, two loads of washing on the line drying, cat cuddles underway. Today is going fairly well. Except for my grinder dying (with a minor smell of electrical burning just to be dramatic). I shall have to order a new one.
Edit: I have now ordered a new one.
That is good to hear.
If you were not alive and still posting here that would actually be a bit alarming. I'm really not ready for a zombie apocalypse.
