That was a day off?

femkes_folliesOK, it was, but with the usual degree of not-restfulness. ;-)
We tooled about town and visited a couple of antique shops, inquiring about selling our Victorian East Lake Parlor set. John inherited it from his mother, and it's been mostly taking up space and acquiring cat hair ever since. We're not the type of people who are likely to ever own the sort of Painted Lady that it would look good in. And we really are working at down-stuffing, if you will. Whether we move or not, there are things that can be gotten rid of.
Then John decided HE needed a nap, so I left he and Rori at the house to do so while I went and ran a few errands. I painted some test swatches on the walls and still can't quite commit. Got the oil changed on the Audi.
Oh, and the bad new there - the clearcoat is now failing on the hood. So Ilsa will likely have to just be repainted. *sigh* Though I might go with a nice, sedate Navy in the hopes that I'll draw less attention from Law Enforcement.
I've decided to do Strawberries and Raspberries, maybe the Nanking cherries and crrants/gooseberries. I want specific varieties, but I'd like to put in a single order. Which is frustrating. Wish I'd thought of this before Mom had put her orders in. *sigh* So, Caroline raspberries, a day-neutral strawberry (probably tristar or tribute - whatever isn't sold out). A red currant, a white or pink, a green gooseberry, a red gooseberry, a red Nanking cherry, and a white. Or something like that.
And I did get the basement bathroom scrubbed down. Scrubbing being the operative word. Had to take a brush and oxyclean to the grout, and it could still be cleaner. But, another room off the Spring Cleaning list. Now if only I can get John to improve his maintenance cleaning program.
Just put Rori's hair up, and now it's probably too late in the AM for a shower, so, off to get dressed and put in my lenses and head to work.
