Lions flea-market

Every year the Härnösand Lions hold a spring flea-market, and sometimes an autumn one too if we have a lot of stuff.
Everything is stored in this round(ish) building so before the market we spend a day sorting it, and moving some of it outside. This is about a quarter of the goods. Today was the sorting day, tomorrow is the actual market.
Today was also the day of cold monsoon. The temperature was around 6°C and it was really tipping it down with rain. So much for the idea of a "spring" market! Fortunately tomorrow is supposed to be dry, even if this unusually chilly spell is continuing.
Before the flea-market sorting started I had an hour at the dentist. There were two fillings to replace but most of the time went on the big molar at the back of my mouth. My dentist is very good and I can't say it actually hurt but there's a lot of discomfort when the work is in the inner reaches of the mouth, and I have to keep reminding my body to relax, no need for tension...
When I got home Jan lit the woodburner because I came in cold and damp!
I spent the rest of the day at home, mostly indoors.
Tomorrow is another early start, getting down to the flea-market two hours before we open, so we can move a lot of stuff outside. Normally we'd have done it today but rain stopped that part of game. I think I'll have my long johns and woolly vest on tomorrow!
