MISCELLANEOUS

I finished the 10th Chapter of Alexanderplatz today. Actually, the 9th and 10th.

I am not in the home stretch yet but it is going well.

I watched on my iMac as there is a retiling going on in the bedroom/theater.

A bunch of tiles were loose in there and apparently, when we moved the bed a few months ago, it roiled them up.

There is not much glue under them. Another half-assed handyman job no doubt.

In general, this house was in very good shape when we bought it but there are certain, well, let's say, anomalies that one finds when a wall is removed or something stressful happens to the infrastructure.

We had enough old tiles in the outdoor closets to accommodate. A good thing about the previous owner. They kept everything.

Most of the 'everything' is gone now.

John did a major cleanup and all the old shit is out in the carport awaiting removal which will happen when we take out the water heater tank next week.

That is it on the material side. On the horticultural, we have a lot of change.

There are iris buds this morning and the lilies are really coming on strong with the green.

The roses are all abud and ready to burst.

A few more hot days and that will do it.

In the meantime, we are happy to see the bougainvillea roaring back into bloom after a year of recovery from the great January 2007 freeze.

I know.

This is a kitchen sink blog entry.

It is the best that I can do today.
