| Cozy cat! |
P,
Morning. Whatcha doing up so early? My email address has changed. Trying to escape Telus.
Hi Corinne and Patrick.
We are glad to hear you had good time,we wish to say the same for ourself the trip to Cuba.
To visit once it was good enough for us in two words We lived 8 years under commmunist country (Yugoslavia) you see one you see all,they love see long line,we almost lost ours plane back our air canada was calling ours names an this was only the second line we have to do onother two one for the video and passport and the fourth for security when you think you have to stay one hour to pay 25 pesos almost 28 dollars per person to come home.
From $100 US dollars we got 86.40 pesos. One thing I have to say is haven for smoker Cuba industry. rose joe ciao
Thanks for your thoughts on Cuba. We would like to visit but perhaps not after hearing some of your experiences!
Up rather early this morning, trying to escape from the Great Wind Tunnel Experiment! Sisterhood Snorology became so unbearable by 5:30am that it was either attempt escape to the kitchen or suffer permanent hearing loss! Found Chloë there trying to coax Maggie into eating. Difficult time these last few weeks with an aging feline. Sadly, think Maggster has run her cat course. Already spent $400 and didn't find out much that we didn't already know. Not really the money but she's 16 years old and I can't imagine that even spending a couple of thousand more, (Vet suggested an ultra-sound for only $550 as next possible diagnostic step.), will improve the quality of her life. Hard for Chloë, of course, to entertain the thought of having her put to sleep. Not easy for us either.
Anyway, poor thing did eat a small dish of food and then Chloë went back to bed. I let Maggie outside for a bit. Back in to use her litter box and then to vomit what she had eaten. Obviously, not a particularly good sign. Of course, this comes smack dab in the middle of work on the loft, coming move and Chloë starting a new job on Monday. Sad time at the Islay Inn. Probably one of the main reasons, (Other than the on-going Boeing 787 Dreamliner aerodynamic testing), I woke up so early. All sorts of thoughts running through my fevered brain!
Spent most of the day putting new flooring down in the loft which we
own, on Wall Street, off Powell, in East Vancouver, not all that far
from Commercial Drive. Had a great deal of help from friend Sarge,
neighbour downstairs, as Chloë ran into him last night. She was
attending a curling dinner at VCC. There was a silent auction as part of
the weekend bonspiel dinner festivities and all the proceeds were being
donated to Aunt Leah's. She was just hired to work as their Fund
Raising Co-ordinator. Her boss asked her to attend to get some idea
of what sort of public presentation she will probably be asked to make
at some point. I gather Team Sutherland was in the tournament or Sarge
was playing with some other friends from the rink. Anyway, he told Chloë
that he would come over to the loft to help out so that certainly
made things go more quickly. Not only is he fairly handy
but having four sets of hands really makes things go much more
efficiently. (For her part, Cora Lee was involved with a service at
Trinity United so she couldn't come over, at least until the early
afternoon.) Sounds funny but when putting down underlay, per esempio,
one uses an incredibly sticky tape. Having two people to cut it from the
roll, one holding, one snipping, makes the whole process manageable.
Two others, on floor, pin underlay in place until it can be secured. And
so it goes!By 4:00pm we had the bulk of the flooring laid. Dusty and I will return tomorrow to complete the section at the top of the stairs and along the edge of the balcony. Hope to ask another friend who lives nearbye if we can use his table saw to make some of the long cuts that are needed to finish the narrow strip at the edge of the balcony. Once the flooring has been completed we can start to really give the place a thorough cleaning. Not much point until all the sawing is over as sawdust seems to go everywhere.
Fond regards to you and Rose from Cora Lee. Cheers, Patrizzio Floating Floor Installer Extraordinaire!
Griffin Atlas Champagne, over 8 pounds, is all I know so far. Steph had quite the time of it, overdue more than a week and three times to the hospital before having this little guy! Can't wait to see him on Thursday. Flying out Wed arrive late. Will be back here the 12th. Staying with Beth and she has been ill with her pregnancy for a few weeks now. Love, M xox
Hi Maggie!
Wonderful news for you and your family. Congratulations indeed! Hope Beth does well under her Mom's care!
Sorry we never connected on this latest trip. Fond regards to you and Frank from Cora Lee. Cheers, Patrizzio Floating Floor Installer Extraordinaire!
Sorry we missed you. Flying home for a few days on Wed to help out. Back the 12th.
Hi TNT!
Thanks for confimazzione regarding flight, arrival time, etc. I'll be circling Arrivals, as per usual. Will check flight status before leaving home so depending n traffic, (height of rush hour), you might have to wait a few minutes. Nevertheless, I'll be there so don't despair!
Fond regards to Ariane, Doug and Lads. Cheers, Patrizzio Floating Floor Installer Extraordinaire!
Ray (& Sylvia),
Thanks for the fun night and great dinner. Hope you got through the custard and pudding today. Delicious.
Unlikely as it may seem the forecast is promising for tomorrow. Let me know if you are up for a ride. G
Hi Laddage!
I'm on as I've a day's reprieve from installing flooring! Let me know when and where. Cheers, Il Conduttore!
