The
next spring cleaning chores occurred in the second week of April,
with me preparing for the arrival of the new oak table. I feel
somewhat guilty at the pleasure of thinking of its arrival - after
all, it is just a lump of wood, really....
However,
compared to the current table...
...the
new one will not only look better, but be easier to use and live
with.
Problems
with the old table include that the cutlery drawer jams and never
shuts completely, the formica top is chipped, green does not match
the yellow-white-ochre color scheme, it stands in 4 disgusting dust
collectors - used by my mother so she could drag the table out to sit
at when two people used it as a diner as well asa kitchen table, and
- well, it is old, chipped, marked, stained... OK, I admit I am a
snob, but...
I
began to fix the kitchen in preparation for the new arrival -
scheduled to appear on Friday morning between 8 and 11 am. As usual,
I was also cooking at the time - creating a vegan from-scratch pizza
and sipping Italian red wine....
This
is a better shot of the disgusting 'thing' called a table -
-
and the surrounding area. At the present moment, it sits against a
chair against the wall - with a bin to one side, the drawer hanging
out, and Dad's sunday-dinner perching stool at the other end. As I
prefer to stand to eat, the second chair is never used - or
cleaned...
This
is the space currently available to get through to the pink and white
room - passing the fridge and table. NOT enough for Dad with a zimmer...
