Finely some consistency in sub zero temperatures. Five days is a row now with each day being cooler, down to to -18 at the house early this morning. This keeps up ice will be forming in the harbor.

The ceiling is complete, painted and trim up, just the lights have to be put back Monday.

Now the cleaning, plus some odd wall touch ups that could grow into a larger job if someone has there way and another is inclined. Jury out yet.



Had a simple repast of leek and yam soup followed by baked Camembert, pear, puff pastry last evening, along with some really nice crusty bread.

Sure had a job finding an edible pear at the store. A whole box of browned bruised pears was on the shelf, I went through it and found what I thought was two OK pears.
Not so, one OK but other all brown and mushy inside.

You truly are a gourmet cook, Brian, bet that tasted scrumptious in spite of the mushy pear! I bet you and Fran are spending lots of time laying on the floor, admiring your new ceiling, right?

It's pretty brave to undertake that kind of drywall work in a house you're actually living in. The sanding produces a helluva lot of mess!

Good luck with next week's "consultation."
