Yesterday, first a trip to the Antique shop, part with a pile of things I'd unboxed - 100 pairs of cufflinks, more candlesticks, other things. The flat - as always - is extra-messy following the pilfering of the locker, if I make a single trip a week I could be done with it all in a year.
That, at least, is the hope.
Then a box of costume jewelry, some sales to a couple of the local consignment shops, very interested in the rest only business hasn't been so good.
List the big items, the Mennonite blanket chest, Teak Apothecary Chest online, my barbells prove to be the most popular and sell within minutes. And today a message on FB; someone committed to the Teak Apothecary Chest, meaning I'll have to get to the locker and find a way to free it from where we boxed it in.
This morning, again, another trip to the Antique shop. I've become his bread and butter.

So, that's it, things are selling, finally, and while the Antique shop promises me I'll have a huge payout it hasn't yet happened.
Tomorrow, a trip to the locker to grab all the buttons. 100 litres of buttons, colour-sorted, and I suspect these as well will sell...
Which takes us to the moment. Work tonight, a text message this morning telling me that our head chef has left, a shame, I liked working with him, he was pretty chill and calm. Hopefully I see him around town. And now - back home, find a way to put away some of the mess I've made, take out some garbage, do a bit of painting and then to work...
