Reading in the garden in the sun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All things considered, getting home is alright, I guess? Initially I felt rather deflated. Back to the same old same old\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chester pauses, mid-drink\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But then Chester re-appeared. Having gone AWOL – according to Mel – for a spell, his reappearance was a real mood-sweetener. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His wound has healed nicely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, we\u2019re back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonio, who only got back from collecting Ali from NZ on Thursday, is off to Spain again today, for his work. So we\u2019ve hardly seen him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reinstated shelf unit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I brought a set of shelves back indoors, that has been out in the garden a good long while. And I restocked it with books, clearing two other areas that were \u2018library overflow\u2019; namely, the upstairs landing shelves, and the shelves near the dartboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Shoe-bie doobie doo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This in turn freed up space to use the \u2018new\u2019 (Freecycle) metal IKEA storage unit, which we\u2019ll be using as a temporary shoe storage solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess that means we\u2019ve been reasonably industrious for our sacred-Sunday of rest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Chair swappage, and yet more clutter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh, all this rearranging also entailed swapping the two armchairs round, so as to maintain some form of passageway\ufffc, \u2018twixt the chairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
