People coming..

By -
More and more people will start coming to visit over the next weeks and months. We already have a cousin dropping by today, and then a couple of Maggie's friends are coming over on Friday. Our place is mostly presentable, although we still have some stuff to clean up and organize. Namely, we require a bookshelf - or three. We sold our bookshelves when we were moving and stored all of our books in boxes. These boxes were mostly left at my parents' place. Out of sight, out of mind.

Of course, now that we have a place of our own again, a dozen boxes of books are hard to organize without something to put them onto. Still, least of our problems. I was just happy I was able to fix the shower faucet handle (apparently the renovators just did not bother screwing it in), and got rid of Dion's stuff freeing up room to hide more boxes.

Next project is to see if I can fix a couple of the doors. It seems as if they were installed with the latch backwards. i.e. you need to turn the knob to close the door, but opening just requires a push (or pull). Who does that?!?

Anyhoo, I plan on picking up a microwave stand this afternoon to make room in the kitchen. This should make our lives easier going forward. The moving "in" part never seems to end..

So I am used to the soft chimes that you hear in the neighborhood when the ice cream truck comes by. This year we already had three visits, mostly on cold or rainy moments of the day. This was in contrast to the infrequent visits to our old neighborhood when I was a child. In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children. As suck, when the truck does drive by, I don't rush out to grab a cone for my kids. Also, the pandemic does not help either. Still, maybe one day this summer we will indulge our kids. Maybe. Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

Boot to the Head.

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
