Wednesday I finished my IPTV Controller Instructions, in both English and Spanish, and laminated them. I have not decided yet if I will give Don the keys to my apartment to use my refigerator and TV or not while I am gone. I probably will... The Spanish instructions should certainly help Cristina after 3 months of coaching while I am there.
There was a ton of activity in the Manoir today, with plumbers, ambulance and pest control vehicles in the parking lot...
Thursday, Cristina sent me videos of the sump pump at work, draining our swamp after heavy overnight rains that knocked out the power for a while. While the swamp was a nuisance, because of all the mud tracked in by the dogs, it was an attraction for bats, birds and dragonflies to eat the resulting increase in mosquito population. Having already had Dengue Fever once, I will not miss the mosquitoes, but will miss their predators.
Cristina is also busy putting a chicken wire fence around a large spinach patch to keep the dogs out. I guess I will not have to worry about my iron intake while there... And the many trees we planted are beginning to bear fruit too. A person will never starve in South America...
I slipped out to brush off the Regal and plug it in. I also brought out a big cupfull of sunflower seeds for the squirrels, rabbits and birds. I check occasionally to see if they will twig to my birdfeeder, but apparently not yet...
The last few days I have stayed in bed for 11 hours, not wanting to get up until then, so I am getting a lot of good rest. I take my 25mg of Quetiapina to sleep around 10pm, my eyes are closing at midnight, and I sleep until 11am almost every day now with only 1 trip to the bathroom around 6am. It is a routine that suits the boring cool winter days.
Today, I caught the squirrel in the area near my Regal but he went right by the seeds, seemingly more interested in the pine cones and snow...
I was running a blast of hot water into the kitchen sink for moisture, to be spread by a fan, when I saw the many bubbles spreading out from the spray, so I tried to grab some photos... I thought it worth the effort..
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
