On Saturday morning, I woke up at 4AM and had lots of ideas. So I got up and texted them to my #1 intern. She, of course, was asleep. But she had decided to move into my spare room and there were a lot of things that had to happen before she did.
I got my post up and then settled down to transcribe my garden notes until she and the others arrived early afternoon. I got about 5 pages transcribed by noon and had had enough of tiny writing for one day.
So I made some lunch and sat down for a while.
They arrived and there were 2 strong young men so the first thing we had to do was empty the wooden underbed box of all my picture frames, etc. All that came downstairs to the bedroom and then they carried the box down.
My #2 intern and I reloaded it and got it under the bed. But I also had a large box of big pictures and I’d hoped that would fit under my bed, but it was too big.
So my #1 intern and I rearranged the closet and got it in there. Once the bedroom was restored to rights, I went to sit down for a while and she headed out to a job. The others had left a bit before.
When I went up to pull shades in the not-spare room, I realized I hadn’t cleaned out the closet. But the door wouldn’t open all the way and I found the support for the bed was blocking it. That was behind the bureau and a couple other things. So I moved them and got it out and it eventually went to the cellar.
Then I got the closet cleaned out and finished pulling shades and getting fires going. I watched some Doc Martin, then one of the new movies, Love Actually. My #1 intern arrived home just as I was heading to bed at 8PM.
On Sunday I will be stoking stoves regularly as it’s to be very cold all day, but there will be sun to help warm the house. I plan to transcribe garden notes until I can’t stand tiny writing any more. I still have 1 more new movie to watch too.
