You just blink and another week has gone, yet a lot has happened and ...yes, still things to do but we are really narrowing in this week. He who hums has been riding the highs and the lows while I have been surfing the net backing up whatever question that I pre-empt is about to be asked. I am good for any subject whether it be the automatic pilot hydraulics or to do with starter motor on the engine. What’s a mother to do sit and watch the question hang in the air? Problem is with some of these lingering questions I can feel the departure date wanting to sneak off to the right but after the question is answered we hold steady around next week.
Achievements this week have been plentiful but I am not permitted to highlight them off the list until they are absolutely complete. So the highlighter too is hovering.... itching to landslide down on some of those ‘big mother of jobs’. Speaking of itching I have built our medical cabinet up and armed ready to suture and /or pull teeth (joking) but hey there is a tool I have in stock that would do that perfectly. He who hums thinks I am creating a mini hospital, and I admit it has grown from one shoe box to a full military style medical cabinet. But I am armed and ready and I plan for it all to just come for the ride.
The adventurer crew member has arrived and is settling into the one place for more than a day. His itchy feet have found my bike and she has been taken on the highways to fetch whatever we need and back within the hour or two. Just in time to be here for the daily sampling from the watermaker. Salt -> fresh within seconds, filtering from the salt water outside through the system into the work room and he who hums concentrating under the swinging lightbulb holds the beaker and gauge steady. It is so perfect in my mind’s eye I see pearls at the bottom of the cup. I scull it in one go and hand him back the empty vessel, leaving him merrily go back to the drawing board for his own tasting .
So! Our second crew member lands in Mexico next weekend and we will be .......................humming.
