The heat has continued this week. We have been clearing up following the garage sale. Some things went to the S.P.C.A. I am getting some more ready for Womens' Refuge. One man who came to the sale was a dealer and he bought some chairs we had not included in the sale but when he offered a good price we accepted, he also bought some of Doug's Crown Lynn Swans and turned up again on Tuesday and bought some more. He is going to come back again and could buy more swans, good quality Carnival Glass (the blue coloured) and some Beswick animals. These are all things that Doug and his late wife collected. He has been offering good prices and it saves the cost of listing on Trade me and then packing to send away.
The tomatoes have been producing well and the beans have started to produce again. Still digging potatoes. Having to water every day until today as we had rain showers overnight and during the day with a cool wind and much cooler temperatures. Down to 22 degrees Centigrade which seems quite cold after the mid 30's.
Doug has taken down the storage shelves in the spare room and put them up in a shed and is transferring things there. Still a long way to go until we have a spare BEDROOM but we are getting there.
22 C would suit me very well; our max this year has been 9 C, and our lowest -6 C. Freezing.
ReplyDeleteWe rarely get down to 1 degree.
ReplyDeleteThe dealer sounds like the right man at the right spot.
ReplyDeleteGood news about the fall in temperature. We are, however, witnessing great fluctuations in weather conditions all over the world, and that's kind of worrying.
Yes, there are major fires in the north of the South Island and also across the Tasman in Tasmania and flooding in TOWNSVILLE.
DeleteI know that feeling of having a spare bedroom.Cooler here too, about 12C yesterday a.m. Wonderful to have so much disposed of!!! If that is the right term, and more goodies going as well,a great way to tidy up.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting there. More went to Women's Refuge today. 12C is cold. Isn't it terrible in the Nelson area.
DeleteIt is such a wonderful feeing to downsize and know that the things that we collected and maybe loved over the years are going to others who will appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are getting some cool air.
It is so much easier in the cool.
ReplyDeleteHow nice the dealer found you and bought some things. They will probably go to a home where they are appreciated. I have been de-cluttering since becoming a widow, mostly giving things to charity shops.
ReplyDeleteYes, when I was widowed I gave a lot to charity shops but we decided it would be a nice change to have a garage sale.
