. Somewhere in between those calls, I managed to have a piece of the cheese danish I'd been wanting for a few weeks

With your busy day, it does seem challenging to find time for a few bites of a pastry! ;):LOL::love::giggle:

Today I am going to be spending the day with my daughter. We will be having lunch at a Tea place and then in the evening going out to a cafe where they play music and will have drinks and dinner. We also may walk around this one nearby town that has water if the wind calms down. If not we will stay at her home and chat.

What a wonderful day you two have planned! Several years ago my sister and nieces went to a tea house in the next town. It was an elegant experience. A walk by the water is always nice. I hope you get a chance to do it. Enjoy your time together.

My BFF knows I usually get up before sunrise. She calls when she does her walk and before she hits the pool. Even if I wasn't up I'd take the call because of her incredibly busy schedule. She's in "Hell Week"... intense rehearsals with the cast members of the musical she's playing for and she's busy with that well into the evenings.
 
Back to selling again.
My plans for this morning were delayed.
I posted in the thread…..downsizing and decluttering.

Had a lot of replies……by the time you answer interested buyers, sell, and pick ups, and reply to buyers that items have been sold, the morning disappeared.
I know you don’t have to do all this replying, after things sell……just trying to be courteous.
All 3 items sold….check out the other thread.

I think I’ve only sold one electric item before……I spend time to make sure the pieces are in good working order and clean.
 
I was sitting up here in my little office room when suddenly I heard an almighty crash. I sat up.. what was that ?... I thought maybe it was next door because they are the only house here with children, and all my windows were open and they were outside .. but then I thought it was too loud for it to have been them, so I tentatively got up, looked around, couldn't see anything glanced downstairs to see if anything had fallen in the foyer.. nope... so I go downstairs, and my kitchen clock which was on a hook above the door frame had fallen to the floor and smashed to pieces on the tiles.. :eek:

It seems what had happened was that the clock was hung on a Command hook, and the hook had come unstuck from the wall and brought the clock down with it.. There was glass everywhere.. The clock wasn't heavy so it was a surprise the hook came unstuck, but all the more lucky that I could have been walking through that door at any time when that clock fell down so I escaped potentially getting a nasty cut..

I am glad you didn't get injured or cut by it.
 
I'm up early (for me), so I can get some exercise in, even though I'm going out this afternoon.

This afternoon I'm meeting my local language partner. We've started meeting in a different place. It's walking distance, but maybe I'll take my car and get some other things done as well.

Read some Schopenhauer? I'm cheating now, reading someone else's interpretation. Reading anything in the humanities has always been very hard for me, for reasons I can't explain.

Talking to my other language partner this evening, then reading in bed. A non-mystery novel, for a change (Processed Cheese, by Stephen Wright). I probably won't finish it.

Right.:oops:
And now that we are fully reassured that you did not get hurt, @hollydolly

we could joke that:
The command hook is so strong, that it didn't take just the clock off the wall;
it pulled down the entire wall with it!

Would that angle, help them to sell more?;)

lol..fortunately it hasn't left any damage on my painted brick wall...(y)
 
Today went with a BANG! We went to the Tivoli theatre in Aberdeen to see the "Ministry of Science live" show. The Tivoli is a small theatre built in 1872. In it's heyday it hosted such stars as Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and W.C. Fields. In later years its popularity declined and if fell into disrepair. It was totally renovated some years ago and restored to its former glory. It now hosts mainly musical and comedy acts as well as a range of One man / woman shows.

The show itself was great fun. It told about various famous scientists and their inventions complete with demonstrations - some of them VERY noisy. Have you heard a balloon filled with a mix of oxygen and hydrogen being lit! Of course there were a lot of children - some really liked it and some bored - but the adults loved it! The show also featured a DIY hovercraft powered by a leaf blower, sparks from a Van de graaff generator, air powered cannons and a rendition of the "Chemical elements song" (Tom Lerhrer) .
