More Monday doings

Forgot to say that Lary bought a 32 inch flat screen TV at Walmart, Vizio brand, for $288 over the weekend. I think that stores put their deals on even before the Thanksgiving week, and the TV is really good, fits exactly into the place it is meant to do, and color and picture are all grand.

Today Monday dawned bright blue and sunny, though our temps have plummeted seriously, to the 60s, and the low 60s at that, going down to 40s overnight. We will have those temps for less than a week, then it goes up, but not likely into the 80s as before. Hey it's winter even here.....

We are using the new electric heater at night, just while we are up, and since our space is so small it is quite sufficient. The trailer is 14 X 38 feet, so 532 square feet, that is not a lot of space. Thankfully there is lots of hanging cupboard, all along one wall from the back of the kitchen right back along all the bathroom/bedroom wall. And it's mirrored so seems more spacious than it is. Funny sensation to be lying in bed and gaze at yourself in bed!!!

Gradually things are coming together for us here, and we are getting stuff to look as we want it and put our stamp on the trailer. There is no extra room, so our flutes are always visible, Lary made a nice flute stand at home from a cedar step from Yellow Point lodge, a left over bit.

Due to the dust that is everywhere when we have the windows open and the wind blows I bought a piece of fleece yardage, and will cover the laptop, the printer, and likely drape the flutes, the computer and stuff like that really attract the dust, and should be covered when not in use. And I'd like the flutes to not be bleached by the sunshine.

We want to get the carpet cleaned to see if it is salvageable, and perhaps paint, and put horizontal wide slat venetians, but that will have to wait a bit.
