" Brenter "

or British visitor arrives

We are off to the airport to pick up our visitor from UK.

BTW , our stock exchange is down for the fifth day - blamed on the UK vote uncertainty for " Brexit " or the UK exit from the European Union

Weather is halcyon. Blue sky , sun and cool breezes
To - morrow , not so certain.

Our furniture ensemble has a broken drawer. The plastic holder for the rail system for the drawer snapped.  Not new.
The first couple of months that we owned the furniture , a drawer fell as this drawer failed. I went to the company and the showroom guy sent me to the shop.
' Oh , you got these crappy ones - here take a bag of these '
Over the years , I've used all the plastic replacements ( 12 or so )
and needed to buy replacements for the replacements,
I went to Lee Valley , all purpose handyman and hobby store , and got plastic holders. Well , they don't fit the rail.
Went back to LV and another helpful server said ' you don't want this plastic stuff , use a wood shim and screw the rails in '

Next project , fix the rails by re - inventing the wheel or re - purposing wood pieces from the garage

Oh , well , same old , same old !!!!!
