When I remembered to plug the phone back in, we tackled the first T day of the week, head on. It was well past the appointment time for the Electrician. Why was that I wondered?
Called the office and he showed up at 10, and four hours later, I have electricity restored to the garage, the side plug in the house fixed, and motion detectors installed. I had purchased them in Montreal on sale. The sign on the front lawn was the only thing not done, and thus called gentleman about out of door sign, left message.
OFF I went to look at patio stones. I purchased a lawn sprinkler, $14,99 + tax. I was inspired to mow lawn, but that did not get done. As an alternative, found the soil in the garage that was on sale a while back, 99 cent a bag. The seed recently purchased, on sale $11,99 a bag, and went to work on the front of the yard. Come to find out, after all that I cannot water as I had installed the male end and needed a female end to the hose, or maybe vice versa, onwards, and could not use the new lawn sprinkler. Put hose back on the list of life to get fixed, that had just come off and had only took most of the summer on the Chris lists of things to do.
BUT BUT BUT, I saw plastic BRIGHTY coloured Adirondack chairs for $20 greatly reduced, okay some what reduced, at the hardware store. Might just get me a few, and get new plastic, just what I need. The size of patio is to be 17×10. Four tons tailings land on the only W day of the week, in the driveway COD. $348 worth of patio stone are supposed to arrive on the second T day if it all works out. The store guys will have both of them delivered here when they are available, hopefully Thursday. Had the young man doing the electric, measure with his professional tape just how big the driveway is across to get delivery, 12 feet at the narrowest. btw. The trucks are 12, you do the math.
Some, just a tiny bit, of the junk in the garage got gone, with the stereo system gone to the antique dealers down the street. He arrived just as the Electrician arrived. Later in the day, the bottles, $7worth. The car now smells like a street person, however, as something spilled on the way to the bottle recycling.
Electrician fixed the outdoor lights at the moment for out of doors. That had to be done before the patio could go in. On the way to the visitation and benediction of the stone, I drive by the office for plumber and dropped in. The reason ? I turn off the water to the house when I leave for periods of time in the winter like for a holiday (we live in hope) Well it is leaking and needs to get fixed, today is the day. Plumber coming at 1 to fix stop cock in basement. Will beg a washer off him to fix drip in hose. Turns out, they did not charge me as they could do something to stop the leak, and that took one turn of another tap. I got a washer off sparky.
Lucy walked briefly after plumber office stop, around.
In the days mail, was a notice of renewal of business registration long overdue, a cash grab by the government, but as it is a renewal only $62. Phoned government printed off form, having recently purchased ink for printer, only $20. OFF to the post office. wheeeeeeeeeeeee and it was lunch time. I had a boiled egg and peach that Uncle john brought me yesterday for breakfast. Lucy is snoring away at my feet. But it got done, and then some, how bout them apples, or peaches in this case. “It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela, Moi and Lucy P
