Nice

How many people are tired of hearing about my new chair? Show of hands, please. Ok, Hands down, this will be the final chair entry. I just wanted to get a feel for how many would be glad. Thank you.

When the new chair got here yesterday, I immediately realized that the old chair was too big to go anywhere. And I don't need it. So I hopped onto Craig's list and listed it 'free for pickup'. (Regular charities don't take upolstered furniture and won't pick up here anyway and I was too lazy to try and find one who would.)

Within an hour I had three offers. The first was Adam who said he had just moed here and didn't have much of any furniture and gave me a phone number. I called him and he said he could be here with his friend in 30 minutes. SOLD! He and his friend were, indeed here in 30 minutes and were just cute as they could be. (I mean seriously - naked cabana boy cute.) And really nice. They hauled the chair and a bunch of cushions away efficiently and quickly. It was great.

But the really cute part was that this morning I got a thank you note from him! Can you imagine? I was very impressed and glad that he got the chair.

I cannot find the entry, but sometime ago I discussed custard tarts, like Lionel on As Time Goes By loves so much. melodysk was kind enough to post a photo and there was discussion about my local Asian bakery that sells them. They also sell Portuguese tarts and someone - I cannot for the life of me remember who - said that Portuguese tarts were way better and just heaven.

Yesterday I finally remembered to try one and whoever that was was right on the money. They are wonderful.
