Scraping and painting. The majority of what we wanted to paint is done other than some trim around windows. The front steps are going to be replaced, so we will paint that area when that is complete. Our friend Gord (KZ1000) has offered to help me build them.Clayton has had a busy week working at Gord's place down the street cleaning up, taking down fences etc. They bought the place a number of months ago and are now totally redoing the inside and outside.
Because I had the week off, Gord said to keep the bike for the week. Trista loved it as I drove her to work for four mornings and picked her up three times at the end of the day. The route we took was along Dallas Road (skirts the Ocean), a very beautiful drive.
On a sad note (but getting better) Trista's kitten Karma was attacked by the dog next door. He had her in his mouth and shook her about. She suffered a tear in her trachea which caused a condition called subcutaneous emphysema (air under the skin). She spent a night in the animal hospital (the neighbour is paying the bill) and is now on the mend.
It was very distressing for the whole family. (and the neighbours too, they are really nice people)
Today Uncle Dave dropped in with a whole bunch of peaches. He was on the 7 am ferry heading over to pick up Colin and his friend Calum. They are leaving tomorrow for the interior and a few days hiking on Crater Mtn. It was great to see you again Uncle Dave! Thanks for the delicious peaches.
Tomorrow is Sunday and a welcome day of rest.
