Not my day today.
First this morning I was adjusting the blinds and the plastic thingy at the end of the cord broke off. No biggie; I ordered a new one plus spares (because you know if you have spares you'll never need them).
This afternoon the garden furniture was delivered. According to my sister it would all be delivered put together. Not. First I went to put together the dining table. The holes in the legs don't match the holes in the top. Contacted the store, sent pictures and made an appointment for the 29th for their service person to come by.
Then on to the sofa, only two legs in the middle needed to be put on, no problem. What was a problem was getting the three seater out of the box. It wasn't heavy, but very big with all kinds of packaging. But I managed (don't I always?)
Finally the small table. Again the legs and a wooden frame needed to be attached to the top. And if I put everything together the hole of the last leg doesn't match the hole in the top. I think the solution is to sand/shave of a bit of wood of the leg. But since the store is already sending someone for the other table they can fix the small table then, too.
This store got glowing reviews on various websites (according to my sister). So I'm just assuming it's a freak accident that two of their tables are giving me problems.
My back hurts and I got various new bruises. I've just taken a shower and already put on my pajamas (it isn't even 5.30 pm yet). I'm now going to have the dinner I planned for later this week (cheeses, bread, vegetables and dips) because I think I deserve it after today. I'm going to drink something boozy and I'm going to watch something fun on TV.
