Errands



The front door window needed a curtain, so I put up a scarf in the first month. Today, we repurposed the hooks - left in a in a random place by the previous owners, in the shop/spareroom, with a Noren from the Japanese church rummage sale. Not sure where the rod was from, but that's salvaged as well. So much nicer.



Finished painting. Got windshield wipers, since one of ours shredded itself on Friday. Very nice mechanic offered to put it on for us, and I gratefully accepted. Bag of litter, check. Sink hose turn off valve, check. JalapeƱos, check. Safety glasses from local business, check. Souvlaki for lunch, check. Although fries and rice do sound a lot alike under less than ideal sonic conditions. I sent it back for fries, since that was what I ordered, and was craving, and we ARE on vacation after all. But nicely, and admitting I should have made sure. Shifted the leftover white ikkeah drawers to the basement.

First thing Dylan took down were the ikkeah shelves in the living room. Second, these suspended drawers. The drawers themselves are pretty good, and we've used them. Never much liked them, so now two of them are in the basement, being lightly white. Stuff will go in them.



Enough for the day.

I love these kind of small but important improvements. Choosing things you enjoy seeing/interacting with every day. The citrus paint is a dramatic change.

That house looks as if it has some age to it. Can you reveal it?

Nimble,
I keep walking in there to turn the light off, except it's not turned on.

The Noren are great. So is the rest!
