Ahhh... Fiskars! Great products for gardening, and Fiskars is swedish of course.

We are famous for IKEA, Fiskars and ABBA ... Ummm, not that great an accomplishment really. Oh wait! We invented the dynamite too!


Just got into work and trying to play catchup with MR, you guys are posting llamas! takes me about an hour every morning to read all the new posts.

This stuff is really miraculous!!! Looooove it. Still doing the happy dance!!

Formby's! Furniture Restoration Product of the Gods! I love that stuff! You gotta have these things when you own a ninety year old house.

Wow!! Thank you!!

As you all know ... I've been up to my armpits in home repair projects. I'd promised some photos .... so here they are.

The stove cover project (painted metal flashing over wood),
The door project (just the refinisher on the right side ... no tung oil yet)
and a shot of the corner of my bedroom complete with kitty (Ellen) in lower bunk and my small desk with a book courtesy of Ralph Sir Edward.








And ... that's what I'm doing right now.

Ha .... if I thought you really meant that, I'd be there in a heartbeat with my tools and my Kindle.

I have mentioned, have I not, that I LOVE SCOTLAND!!! I think it's genetic ... the Maveetys are essentially the same clan as the Mac Veetys, Mac Vitys, Mc Veetys and McVitys .... and a few other variations of same, such as Mac Eveety.

It's really all the same extended family.

Hey, Ricky, when you come back in let me know. I have few (hundred) projects at home I could use your help with.

Curious. Pampers diaper ad on the page. I wonder. (i'll wonder about anything at this point; dying to just go home.)

Ooooo! Look! Cute kitteh pics!!

Right now...sending Maggie (my dog) back to bed. She keeps standing at the door and barking to go out onto the bottom balcony, having finally found what she thinks is the source of the noise and smells from under the spa.

She's wrong though. I know those smells, and I know that noise, and that's just the possums. What she found, and what found her interruptions aggravating, was a small Carpet Python, about 60cm (2') long, yellow and brown pattern (very pretty). Non-venomous, and teeth-not-fangs, it struck at her and may have connected (which is how I first noticed - I saw her pull back, and then go forward, still curious). I watched the python crawl back and forth along the edge of the spa, and then slide under down the side. So, the possums might be getting a surprise tonight.

Cheers,
Marc
