The House Heat is Working!
Greetings everyone in Disaster Cat Land,
I'm taking time from packing for our weekend SCA event (re-enactment) to let everyone know that things are improving here. From feedback I've gotten from concerned friends and family, I felt I had to let folks know that not every day here at Kilmurry is Crazy. Just most of the ones I decide to write about. The ones in between are often calm, even sometimes a bit boring. Though the latter doesn't happen all that often.
Anyway, I am happy to report that by Tuesday of this week, we had a working house heater, a working stove top and lots of hot water! The actual hot water heater is still broken, but its cold enough outside to run the house heat on a timer. And that keeps the house water hot without having to light up the turf stove. I like my turf stove, I really do. And as a good survivalist housewife, I'm very happy that its here. But, until the next bomb falls, ice age arrives or modern civilization falls, I really prefer not to have to light it first thing in the morning. At least not until I've had a chance for a cup of tea to open up my eyes. And waiting an hour for the water to heat to make tea..is..well..it just isn't very civilized.
So, Tuesday morning I got to sleep in. Same with Wednesday...last night I stayed up and watched the "debates" even though we've voted already. That's the fun part of living over seas, you can cast your vote before everyone else and then pay as much or as little attention to the election as you like. In my husband's case, that's no attention, in mine...well Disaster Cat has to keep an eye on things...
Well, guess its time to end this quite time period and get packing for the weekend. I have no idea which pile the feast gear is under (everyone brings their own eating utensils, plates and cups). I'm afraid I get an "F" in terms of Fly Lady de-cluttering this week. Still, I got lots of trim woven to try and sell this weekend and finally managed to inventory my sales stuff. So, I guess I'm getting something done after all. Oops! Just remembered I need to go drain some more apple juice out of the Finnish Steamer...what me do almost anything to get out of packing a car...? You bet!
Meanwhile, I'll try and look for interesting things to report on when we get back from England on Monday...
