THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA

Yesterday our home got professionally washed outside.  This village is so well maintained!

Anyway, I'm sitting in the lounge when the bloke (in high vis orange) gets to our front windows...

ABOVE: The cleaning process is a bit like a drive in car wash.  They spray a cleaning solution on, then power spray it off with water.  NOT like super powerful, just like the pressure you would get from your garden hose.

Anyway, I'm sitting there, and the next thing... DRIP, DRIP, DRIP inside the lounge?  I investigate.

Sure enough, there is water pouring in from up the top of the lounge windows.

So I lay down a towel, and traipse down to the maintenance man's room.  

He comes up to investigate, as any external issues with the house is the obligation of the Village.

He assures me that it will probably never happen again, as rain doesn't usually come onto those windows, but if I have any more concerns I'm to let him know immediately.  As a small problem can, over time, become a big problem.

Such a nice man.

We are standing at my front door yakking (OMG both of us can yak)... and I mention that I'd like to paint our front door, as the varnish is looking decidedly jaded.  And 'L' said he will put it on the job list, and it will be done very soon.  BOOM!  I don't even have to do it.  AND I got a choice of two colours that compliment our house.

Gosh this place is growing on me.

Now, back to today.  I plan on doing some work in Crabby Quarters.  And maybe going on the bus for a tiki tour.  I don't know which one will come first.

Lacy is also supposed to come over at some point... not sure when.  

LACY, make it this afternoon OK?

ABOVE: I was going to make a small Tote Bag next, but spied this gorgeous chooky fabric and just had to use it.  I feel it will look better as a bigger bag, so a bigger bag it is.
 

ONWARD...
