Saturday evening

A marvellous day, full of activity. My shaggy locks have been shorn to the equivalent of a number 4 cut, and it is marvellous to have a neat head of hair again. We sold plenty of extraneous stuff at the combined households yard sale. Some items were sold for a song, some for a reasonable price, and plenty of clutter has been offloaded. I must say that I am a bit sad that the 1/4 size pool table is gone, but there comes a time to leave behind the stuff of another era, and that is now gone. Catriona was the main user of the pool table, and she is not interested in it now, so it was time for it to go. We certainly do not have the space to set it up in this tiny house. And the objective of all this selling was to get rid of all the items which are taking up too much space in our house. Ah, this tiny house. A tiny house is a good idea, especially for middle-aged persons, but it does lead to some heart-wrenching decisions about the accumulated treasures of our lives, together and apart. The even tinier art shed is still a work in progress. I hope to have some of it arranged for actual use this weekend. The painting inside is done for now. Furniture must be put in place, and then it is all copescetic. And the third activity today was a delightful BBQ at the Snells. Jane and Paul Hammond, new people (Rebecca and Richard), Sharon Taylor, and us made up the party. There was plenty of chat about sports, life in general, and prospects in this part of Nova Scotia...all very positive, which was pleasant to hear. The food was delicious, so that was a bonus. All in all, a good time had by all. Of course, the Teeds/Rollos were the last to leave. How does that happen? Must get our timing more organised. And now, to other activities....
