the world from my point of view
Girls Molly has been walking Mavis a lot. Maggie has been coming and going. Merva Removed a sheet of plywood from the floor in the boathouse so I can fit a bigger boat in there. In the meantime; Merva is pulled all the back (thanks to the canoe stern) so its getting less light on…
Girls Molly has been hanging out around the house a lot. Maggie is out so much that we are starting to wonder if she has moved out early! Maggie is planning a trip to Tofino with two girl friends – in her Fiat 500. I have offered up the Defender subject to her (or one…
Girls We had some friends over tonight. The idea was to do a little send off for Maggie. I think it went well. We are now actively looking at buying real estate in Victoria as Maggie and Molly’s long term prospects for housing – even during their schooling – is not good without our help….
Girls Got Molly to/from work – which is where she spent most of her day. Maggie made jam with a friend and was joined later by Seb and they watched something (movie) on the laptop. Had a tube replaced in a wheel for Maggie’s bike only to find that the rim was warped. The bike…
Girls Valerie, Maggie and Molly have returned from an over-nighter in Vancouver. The reason was to get the new passports but a little shopping may have occurred. Charlie finished some regular maintenance stuff on Maggie’s car and then I glued a bit of trim that had fallen off some weeks ago. Just a few weeks…
Working on a reduced function set – just basic diagramming. The idea is to improve on existing functionality at this level before adding the other stuff back. Currently working on User defined stencils. I already had adding SVG’s to a stencil. I was thinking that one could just export a diagram to a SVG and…
Girls Molly has been mostly hanging about the house – seemingly bored. Maggie has been working and hanging out with a group of friends – including her new friend (2nd year UVic student) visiting from Vancouver Island. Merva I found the leak in the inflatable tender. It is from an old patch job. I ordered…
Merva Returned to Merva first thing in the morning and found that the varnish was not dry – so I could not put the cockpit together again and there were going to be 10 kids on the boat at 5pm. I returned later armed with a fan. It was tacky so I put the fan…
Merva Got down to Merva around 8:30am so I could get a coat of varnish on. It will take about 24hrs to dry. I can then put the boat ‘back together’ again so I can get Maggie and her friends out to the Farm. I will put another coat of varnish on it (within the…
Girls Maggie is going to the Farm with some friends. I knew this was an ok thing to plan (based upon a conversation a couple of months ago) but had no idea it was actually happening. This required a preparation trip (today). Fortunately; Valerie came along with Maggie and I. Molly is getting bored. Merva…
