A myriad of things; A Friday Story.

Lots to do, lots & lots to do in preparation for tomorrow’s birthday festivities. First up, earlier in the week was a provisions shop. Juice boxes of five different flavours, fruit gushers for the adventurous, three types & brands of chips to be voraciously consumed. A suitable candle to mark the occasion! My wife ordered the take home goodie bag contents, and paper plates. We’ve had confirmation for all expected attending guests. Pizza will be delivered, and beverages for adults are currently chilling waiting to go over to the venue.

Today I will go over to clean up the shrubbery and grass. And next on the docket is to wrap gifts of asymmetrical design and packaging. I long for the days of rectilinear boxes with 90° angles and few to no curves, domes or jutting angles. But I will not be so fortunate this day. A true test will be if my kids haven’t secretly used up all of my cello tape on private art works leaving me in the lurch… Fear Not! I have enough (I just checked).

Perhaps an early morning pool vacuuming will be in order, so I have that to look forward to tomorrow at 9:00am. Looks to be great weather, warm and sunny. Perhaps tonight I’ll bake a cake for the occasion? Who knows, maybe I actually will. You never can tell.

Yesterday I completed a dry fit test for my end table. Now I need to sand the interior and glue up the top box. I ordered dome clear satin Osmo to finish it off, but delivery tells me I could have to wait until July 12th for it to arrive. So maybe more Danish oil to finish it off? Time will tell. I do have parts of next week to work on it, assuming my next report comes in today or this weekend at some point. I do have hours of sanding to look forward to so best get cracking! Ciao Bella!
