Wednesday January 2/13  update #330

Our repaired stove arrived at noon today and actually heats up to almost 450F now, happy days are here again!!  It was also under warranty so it didn’t cost us anything.  He said it was a problem with a thermocouple and insulation.   Bella is happy so that makes me happy.

Bella is having a lazy but busy day in spite of not feeling up to par.   She was making beautiful crochet teddy bear examples as she is apparently going to teach a class on making them.   She was so proud of herself yesterday, finding that rosary beads would make great eyes for the bears!!  Then she is taking down Xmas decorations with my help and followed that up with building up bridge boards to teach another accelerated round of classes.  No grass grows under her feet for sure.

I was still feeling a little queasy and dizzy today but worked a lot on photographs and uploads again.  I have a long way to go to even make a dent in the over 800 photos from Xmas Eve but I am determined to make them extra special.  Much of this involves cleaning a lot of backgrounds away and fine tuning the shot itself.  I am not timing myself or anything but most take more than an hour of work.   You will see a few more examples today.

Then I decided to head over to the old neighbourhood and get my haircut for a whole $2.  She does a very decent job, doing much more work than we get in Canada for a clip for $15.    The fresh air did a lot of good for my biliousness.

I think a movie is in order for tonight….

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.   Please see all photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
