4.11.2024 Interior dysfunction.

 ~o~

  Monday 4th 48F/9C [7.30] Overcast with light winds. Expected to remain cloudy and dry all week.

 Up at 6.45 after a quiet night. 67F/19C in the room this morning. After reaching 71F/22C last night.

 Physio in town. I plan to buy some more clear storage tubs for the kitchen. The moraine of "stuff" has offended the eye for long enough. I have loads of lids which were never used upstairs. So I can stack the tubs on the trolley in the corner of the kitchen. One layer of storage is never enough. There are at least two tubs worth of polythene bags of assorted variety. They accumulated before I was put solely in charge of interior dysfunction.

 I have been attacking various sites of the hardness in the water. [Calk in Danish] I have treated the kitchen tap, shower head and bathroom taps with great success and benefit. Now I need to treat the electric kettle. A paintbrush may be involved. 

 11.30 Back from physio and a tour of the shops. I seem to be getting stronger and fitter with each class. My balance and flexibility are improving steadily. 

 I was hoping for more storage tubs but the three outlets have all gone over to flip-over, locking lids. Which I detest for their awkwardness in use. Though I did buy a pale coffee coloured [plastic] laundry basket for the bathroom. To replace the green examples I have been using. Green tubs and pink tiles just don't work together. Throwing wet towels onto the bathroom floor is downright slovenly. Even by my own inimitably low standards.

 I have been keeping an eye out for display cabinets. Whether for sale or in use. To judge how the construction details and lighting affect the presentation of the objects inside. No internal lighting and the objects might as well not exist. 

 It may all sound a bit obsessive but I am trying to maximize my investment in time and money. While trying to get it right first time. Or second time around, if you count the charity shop example. Which seems much happier standing in the kitchen. So, after initial doubts, the modest investment was well worthwhile. 

 Another drive to the city is indicated. An exploratory stroll around the vast shopping mall will, no doubt, be educational. This is what I always do with every new interest. Homework OCD on steroids! 

 17.30 Home from the city. I visited a number of charity shops, the vast shopping mall and IKEA. Grocery shopping on the way home in the dark in fine drizzle.

 18.20 64F/18C in the room. Stove lit.
