House update: Friday

[electricland]

Hello all,

Today we had for lunch udon noodle soup with a garnish of shrimp, sweet potato, cauliflower and onion tempura. Dan was off with his father conveying his grandmother.

John spent the morning at the drawing board, pouring over the electrical code. Yesterday, he installed three-way switch wiring in the stairwells. He says that he thinks the wiring process will speed up--but he's not sure.

David and Dan hung the door in the second floor bathroom. So, R, you have a door--but no walls.

Jen sent an update on The Plan. I think I'll only issue updates say twice a week--or on an emergency basis. Too much paper. OK by you all?

I myself had lunch in Nathan Phillips Square, listening to the Irie Festival. I also picked up A Suitable Boy, which will break my wrists for sure.

The Globe's Real Estate section said today that the fixer-upper is now beyond the means and inclination of the average first-time home buyer, proving yet again that J and I are so very, very far from average I'm not even sure we can see it from where we're standing. I laughed quite a lot on the streetcar.

J has begun emailing me a copy of the Globe's online Sudoku, to complement the paper one, which I do every morning... enabler.

yes, indeed. But you have relatives you can exploit who volunteered to help. So you know, already not terribly average. Though I want pics of you drywalling ;).

Yes, when we get to be drywalling, there will be pictures. In the meantime, you'll just have to cherish the mental image of me at the dump.

And you know, I really wouldn't prefer to be skiing or golfing. I hate skiing and golf! Riding, OTOH...

any time, my dear, any time - though you might be riding miss Bouncy Pants because Mom is rather, um, ATTACHED to Beau now ;).

well... he IS her horse. I suppose that's acceptable. ;)

actually I'm very pleased to hear it, because he is a darling!

it has been SOOO wonderful to watch the two of them bond. They just get all gooey eyed when they are together... She's in Van this weekend, and I know that while she is happy to spend time with Sis, she is sad she won't be able to ride. :D.

I like your lunch better with the exception of sweet potato, but that can easily be removed. ;)

No comment. :P

Ah yes, if only.
