I am shattered. We had a very early start this morning, the people who were delivering the bed, estimated the time as 8.45 to 10.45. At 8.05am the phone rang, we will be with you in about 20 minutes!! Good job I had stripped the bed and got the mattress on its side. M came round and we just got the bed base into the garden when they appeared. 4 huge boxes. I have to say, it is very well made, and heavy, the two drawers are longer than the old ones but not quilt as deep. It took the 2 of us 2 hours, with a break for coffee to get it put together, My cleaner turned up just after 12 to help me remake the bed. During the morning B arrived with his car and loaded the base and all the cardboard into his estate car. He was taking it to a friend who was going to break it down to the wood for his wood burners. so by 11.30 the bed was errected and waiting to be remade. DB has been for his siesta and he says it is very comfortable. I will make my decision after I have slept in it for the night.
DB spent his half hour in the garden, the wood preservative has turned to water, so he was not happy about that. I will have to get him some more, he wants to redo the sheds and also a support he has for the apple tree.
Yesterday I made another long piano border and a shorter one, so I need to get on the sewing machine tomorrow.
I sent back my new tablet yesterday, the replacement arrived this morning, closely followed by the postman.
Supper tonight is grilled gammon, eggs, tomato, fried bread. We may have a slice of our anniversary cake for dessert.
