Hope your health is good. Actually, I got my transfer from Toronto to Surry and I have a lot of stuff in my house which is not possible to move there. So that's why I have decided to sell.
Moreover
, Which things I have might be useful for you for example
a new Sofa set, Bed , Table, 8 Ball pool table and I have a winter tyre also
if the size is the same as your tyres.
However
, I would suggest some dates. So you can come to see the furniture like you can come on weekends. Otherwise
any time during weekdays after 5 PM. Actually, I am also
at home during the afternoon. And we will never meet for 4-5 months, So we can meet and have some tea also
. Let me know which time you will select to see the furniture.
your Gursewak Singh
