Wednesday 3rd September 2025

Got up around 0800 and made tea. Porridged. The Ebay auction on the sofa ended without a sale, so I crossed the road to the British Heart Foundation second hand furniture store, and they agreed to come by to collect it tomorrow. They wouldn't take the armchair, as they reckoned the re-upholstery job invalidated any fire safety certification. I put it on Gumtree for £0 in the hope that someone would turn up to take it away. Spoke to the Bolton-based bespoke shower tray people...looks like we are going to go with them...slightly less sophisticated than the Woking bunch, but considerably cheaper. Did some gardening out front ahead of my incapacitation, and Aki moved her plant pots to one side to facilitate the exit/entry of various bits of furniture over the next day or two. Moved the sofa over to the other side of the room just in case the new one turns up tomorrow before the old one has been shipped out! Made a chicken salad lunch. Did some exercising. Signed up to Freecycle and stuck the armchair on there in the hope that someone would get back to me today. Cooked Jamie Oliver's meatball traybake for dinner, with tagliatelle. Spent most of the evening trying to get someone interested in taking the armchair off our hands for free...got some interest from the Denizens...see what happens. Back causing me some gip…I overdid it today on the chores! Early bath and bed...set the alarm for 0530…
