Don't sit here!

That was the sign we had on our IKEA recliner for over a year(!). 

Why's that?

Look and you will understand. 

Quite hazardous to try to relax in that chair. 

Now, since my dear upholsterer/carpenter is far, far away, 

a repair in the near future is not in sight, 

but a visitor is already "on the horizon". 

(Not that we only own that one chair! ;)

What to do? 

DIY! Right.

Among the good things in our small community is 

that there always is someone around who is willing 

to lend a helping hand. 

I asked my employer if I possibly could borrow 

his staple gun for that project.

Not a problem.

And today I tackled the chair.

Tadaaaa! Big smile. 

That is finding happiness in small things.

If I had know how easy that was, 

it could have been done at least a year ago! 

Well, it is never too late, isn't it?

And now the visitor may come.

That's all for the day.
