The picture was taken yesterday, it bears no relation to today’s post.
A while ago, we took delivery of a new set of garden furniture. We were only able to assemble it today. It came in three rather big & heavy boxes. Initially, we thought we were lucky that to assemble the furniture would only require two nuts, washers & bolts for each of the chairs. Simple one eh? Nice & easy, 10 minute job.
In fairness, 5 of the six chairs were fairly straightforward and didn’t require the use of a hammer. One of the bolt-holes had been blocked, but we were able to sort that fairly quickly.
The 6th chair though, which was actually the first chair, but we gave up on it several times was the doozy. Do you think we could get the holes to line up? No, we couldn’t we could see the bolt but we just could not get it through. I do hope out neighbours were out, because my language was, lets just say, a little bit fruity.
I don’t know how she did it, but somehow, two and a half hours after started the 10 minute job, Elayne managed to do it. The bolt is in the wrong way round, but it has been sorted.
I told Elayne that she was forbidden from going anywhere near stores that sold self-assembly furniture. Ever. She will of course, ignore me.
