Yep! Thanks for posting that.

This morning Wakana and I set up a breakfast nook in the carport. When we moved in there was a glass table out there. The base was wobbly and we didn't like it but we hadn't done anything with it yet. Today we cleaned it up and set it where we usually sit to drink our morning coffee.

I have an old desk that I got at a Government auction. The lot I bought included three desks and a wooden rolling stand. I took one of the desks and the stand into school and put them in my classroom. One desk could not be salvaged and the other had one end torn off. Yesterday I fixed that desk and this morning we set it up in the carport as an outdoor office. I doubt we'll use it much. The humidity makes the papers difficult to work with.

Today we are headed into town. We have a number of errands to run and Wakana has a doctor's appointment with a neurologist. Her neck is giving her trouble again. We also need to check the mail (I'm expecting ink for my printer) and get Wakana a new pair of glasses. She needs bifocals (or, as she calls them, bifocus).

I guess I better get to work. We acquired a canopy frame with this house and we want to set it up to give some shade to the office wall. I am also going to install the typhoon shutters on the room we use for storage in an effort to keep it cooler.

Oh! I forgot to mention something. The other day we took the cats to the vet. Neko has some kind of infection on her back feet. The vet's husband is an Australian named Brett. We had a bit of a chat about the difficulties of carrying that name. He4 commented that it was fairly common in Oz but here he gets all kinds of mispronunciations. This is something I've had to deal with all my life but it's new to him.
