Plans have changed for my return to Dublin so today instead of being high above the U.S., Canada, and the Atlantic Ocean, I am still on the ground in Seattle. The repairs after the 2nd water damage in our house have not been completed and there is some controversy over who is going to pay. Since it was the construction company’s fault it would seem logical that they would pay. They don’t see it that way. So that needs to be resolved somehow. Over the weekend there were industrial fans in various rooms drying out the walls.
These fans make a lot of noise but seem to be very effective.
I managed to get a bit of unpacking done but only a little since I could only operate in one room.
Note that part of the new kitchen floor had to be lifted as part of the drying process
meanwhile a familiar figure stands guard out front
I took a walk over to Fremont in the rain – note the flashing lights of the emergency vehicles – I think something serious was going on but I wasn’t quite sure
I’m getting to spend more time with the Seattle family – here is baby Ethan – he is holding a vegetable (carrot) shaker which I found for him in Dusty Strings. I think the vegetable shakers are a lot of fun and it’s nice to have a good excuse to buy one. They have a great selection in Dusty Strings – green pepper shakers, cucumbers, aubergines, cauliflowers, cabbages, tomatoes, apples.
I hope to return soon to this shop, Mishu, where I bought a wonderful dress which might double as a Star Wars themed Halloween outfit next October
