Getting ready for another weekend
21 July 2011 | Halifax
Alex, muggy and hot
Here we are. Thursday already. WTF and Wowsers.
The week was spent recovering from last weekend, getting back to and at work, and shopping for and buying some odds and ends for fixer upper projects for Banyan but the big event was celebrating my son's big 20th birthday at Cirque du Soleil Quidam presentation last night.
As I was saying, boy how time flies, here we are, Thursday already, and the weekend is almost here. Dave and I are looking at each other, wringing our greasy little palms together and hoping we can spend another week aboard our lovely Banyan, having some good ole banyan times...
So the fixer uppers include a new mirror for the heads, and should be able to pick that up this afternoon... The guy cutting the mirror for us did indicate that if it wasn't us that broke the mirror, then the 7 year bad luck rule doesn't apply. Thank goodness for that.
We haven't heard from the signs place, so looks like the name install might not happen this weekend. Sure hope by some minor miracle it does... we'd like to have our naming ceremony and appease King Neptune sooner rather than later.... we think that the little black cloud over our heads is probably due to HIM !!
The propane pieces are all bought, so now Dave just has to figure out how to take the old stuff off, and somehow re-install the new stuff, and then we shall be able to use the galley stove again. A lot more complicated than it sounds, but, with a new-to-us-boat everything is !! Having a grand time learning tho...
A few more odds and ends to buy... hose, and a widget gadget for the fridge door etc, etc, etc... seemingly never ending list! It's almost like owning a house. And speaking of owning a house, I think that missy here needs to spend some time at home playing the role of domestic goddess. I hate leaving behind a messy cluttered house as we depart for a weekend away...or even worse, is coming home (after a weekend away) to a messy cluttered house.
Looking forward to tomorrows TGIF... bring it on Baby !!
