Our old 'main' lounge suite is in the garage awaiting pick up by it's new owners (Amanda and Andrew)... I am expecting Andrew sometime today.In the meantime, I shall just look at the naked floor, and perhaps vacum it. lol
I was told 3 weeks ago that our new lounge suite would be here by 'about' Wednesday. The boat bringing it into the country was supposed to dock in Tauranga last friday. Hmmmm. A container ship lost a man overboard last week, and was spending several days looking for him... and THAT boat was supposed to be docking in Tauranga last friday too. JUST MY LUCK IT WAS THE BOAT WITH OUR LOUNGE SUITE ON IT. BUT, I am going to be OPTIMISTIC and believe that my lounge suite will be here tomorrow!
Oh and yes, it was very sad that a man was lost overboard... I get that... I do indeed. It wasn't his fault IF my lounge suite was on his ship. And NO, they did not find him.
Today, I will stay home until Andrew comes and gets the suite. Then I will pop out for a few things... post some cards to Sue in USA.... bla bla bla.
ONWARD...
I rang Harvey Norman... was told 'Shelly' would ring me back asap to let me know when the lounge suite would arrive. She didn't.
I rang back 3 hours later to be told 'Shelly' was OUT... could he help me? I explained ... and was told "Oh so sorry... it could still be two weeks until we get it"! What the Fuck! If I had been told from the word 'GO' that it would take almost 5 months to arrive I would have bought from a local supplier! I am HOPPING MAD now. 'Shelly' better ring me back or else! Well... I don't know what else really.... we have no choice but to wait I suppose.
Andrew arrived at lunchtime and duly took away our suite. I am going to move the two green leather recliner chairs into the lounge from the family room in the meantime, so I won't have to sit on the floor! lol... as if!
MARTINE: Answers.. The dogs are fine in their cones. Still trying to scratch. But not hurting themselves anymore. And my sewing machine is going just fine right now...TOUCH WOOD! I've been doing a good deal of sewing and it really has been good to me! Wonders will never cease.
The afternoon has flown by, I've been sewing... got carried away and have just realised that it's 1/4 to 6! Shit, I had chicken out for dinner... we will now be having that tomorrow! Tonight.... fish 'n' chips.
OH and it is sooooo bloody quiet here without Brylee! Griffin has no one to argue with, she's not here to niggle him... it's BLISS! Better enjoy it while it lasts.
End of Day: another lovely evening... watching the telly, doing diddly squat. nite nite.
