Laundry running, several things underway. I've missed trash pickup for a couple of weeks now; we have 2x weekly, but two of those overnights involved high winds and rain, and I didn't want my trash out in the street. Two other times I just forgot. I recycle so much, throw out so little that it still won't fill the smallish metal can I use. But I'm rounding up trash to finally get it to the curb tonight.

Folding laundry finally. Dusting. I could spend a whole day just dusting around here, I do it so rarely. And I'm thawing ingredients for a casserole this evening. Once it is assembled and baking (takes 2 1/2 hours) I'll work around the house. I have some web stuff to do also, probably this evening.

Andrea, how goes it with stonemasons and carpenters? I was speaking to my ex yesterday about dismantling a wall - and was reminded of Jude the Obscure. I asked, he hasn't listened to the recorded book, so I told him I wouldn't spoil the end, but that it is probably one of the most depressing novels in the English language. . . and it probably attaches some unintended baggage to those who do stonework. :-/
