A little later, I was working in my study and I heard his sanding machine whining away. By lunch time, the entire table was in pieces and all the paint was stripped and the wood sanded, and it was getting a coat of clear finish. It will go through a few versions of this before it's done, but the task is out of my hands and I'm not complaining.
Bless him.
We took a trip down to Cairns on Saturday (very twisty drive down the Kuranda Range) and we found a set of early Victorian shelves in a secondhand shop, to put on the wall above the table. Lovely!!!!!!
So now I have no excuse but to get on and write.
Head down today...
But I'm cooking a spinach and pea risotto for dinner tonight, served with grilled prosciutto. Can't wait.

That's very funny and perceptive Barbara: Men are very different beings!! But in the end, you may have a new table sooner rather than later. I made a chocolate and cherry trifle this afternoon.I can't eat any of it, so your risotto sounds doubly wondrous!!!
...for boys' toys, and boys who are willing to use them. Especially without being asked. How nice!
Oh, how noble to make chocolate and cherry trifle when you can't eat it. Wish I could send you some risotto.
Yes, the not having to ask was a nice surprise, although E does love working with wood -- not building things, but restoring them
