Daily Notes- Sunday. Dismal. Drizzle. Dark. Depressing.

 Found a chair.  On some site. Thought you would enjoy seeing a chair here.  I love the background.  Huge swaths (love that word) of BLUE.  Most likely a very large painting.  Used as a backdrop for the chair.

Today.  Bleh....... It's cold in here even thought the heat is the same as yesterday.  I am going to go see if husband left the garage doors open after getting the morning paper..  The wall behind the couch here is also the garage wall.  We should see about additional insulation.  

But that would require building people who actually show up to do work........in Maine--showing up to work is a rare thing in the building trades.

The Twins down the street still....do not have their hockey rink.  In the front yard.  A barrier has to be put up- the pucks were going into the street and yards...some into the woods- where the new dog found and ate them.  They know this because dogs poop where owners can see what's exiting.  Riley memorably pooped a uninflated ball with a distorted clown face.  Scared (almost) the crap out of me as well..  

Watched the Broncos 49ers game.  I really wanted the Broncos to win.  I didn't watch the second game but saw the score- 50 to 27 and they still had playing time.  This is when the coaches should just decide to stop.  I was watching Repair on the discovery channel- a British show about repairing old stuff.  I found the stuffed animal restoration very informative.  

Taking the toy apart, lining each piece and making a new pattern for heavily damaged parts and then sewing it back together and re-stuffing.  A Panda Bear and a tall Lamb.  There was an old steam pond boat.  A large ceramic object hit by a ladder one Christmas and smashed a bit. I wished my Dad had been sitting nearby.  He would have loved it.  Perhaps he was nearby.  I now need to go into the ice cold garage and get the pattern pieces dad saved for new chair upholstery.  My dad was working on it.  Re-tied the springs. He thought the fabric I chose was too fancy for him to work on.  So work on the chair stopped. Not too fancy for the chair.  Just too nice for a guy like him to work with.  Sadly that's how he saw the World......for a guy like him.
