Today we decided to begin the job of organizing the patio a little to facilitate cleaning and reduce the mice problem.  This was a good start with further refinement needed later.  I made a makeshift long shelf at either end and it is amazing how compact things seem once things are sorted and combined with like objects.  I am now sorry that I didn't take some "before" pics because the difference is really remarkable.  There will be more refinement later.

I also got a few more shots of different denizens of the backyard for you.  I even spared a mosquito for a shot but I have been on an absolute rampage with the electronic racket bug zapper.

I had a very long nap today after that exertion and didn't want to get up.

I got an email to forward to the Coopera investors group for the Americans who are trying to get their Ecuadorian Ambassador to help them and enforce a bilateral treaty to enable them to recoveer their lost savings to the corrupt Ecuadorian government.  A meeting is being set up with the Embassy Economic section personnel where our people can present their case.  While I am Canadian, and almost paid out, I still maintain email contact with a lot of the "Perjudicados" (injured) in the Coopera fiasco and pass along information.

Cris and Claudia and Sara are off again to help at the Doggy Park.  Cristina has a new project, .. helping a mama to get her pee-pee poo-poo walks, and a little break from the six hungry six puppies.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Wednesday May 1, 2019

Yesterday I was bored so I called David to come for a movie afternoon.  We watched "The Full Monty" and "The Gods Must Be Crazy", two zany comedies that I never tire of, and that David had never seen.

Last night I got into some UFC fights that had a great line-up resulting in some fabulous fights.  Right now it is either that or Baseball.  I heard that there were no more Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs.  I am so out of touch with hockey right now that it is hardly worth the effort to watch games on the computer.

I hate Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Those are garbage days and I do most of that myself including the fun poop pickup from 9 dogs for 4 days.  Average twice a day and you can do the math...  I also walk with the electronic racket bug-zapper and rid the earth of possible millions of bugs before each pick-up.  Because of all the recent rain we have more than our share of nuisance bugs at the moment.  I hope the bats are doing double duty at night.

I hired Claudia (and a little help from Sara) to clean our house thoroughly and give Cristina a break.  I expected 2 days of work because I wanted ceilings and walls done first.  Surprisingly Claudia did it all in one day, around 8 hours.  We paid her well and are happy to see a sparkling house again, for however long that will last...

I had a nap and I worked on photos to while away the afternoon.  When I feel more energetic I will reorganize the stuff on the patio.

Cristina is off for the second time today to help at the Doggie Park.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
