Brickwork

The other end of our condo building is getting painted by our handyman extraordinaire.   But first he’s doing some work on the bricks…his father was a bricklayer and he says his first good smell memory is mortar!    He spotted a used brick that was almost gone (the dark hole you can see , 3rd ring from the top down the ladder on the left which he dug out and will replace..)  I’ve blipped him before but here’s a not the best photo of Ken in the 1st extra…with a page of photos I printed for him of his award winning over the top fabulous holiday lights at his home.   He doesn’t own a camera or a computer so has no photos.   He also plays the piano really well.   And he’s totally honest and inventive.  He uses ladders, not scaffolding.  He's not young. He loves to work.  We are very lucky.    I do like that I can see 2 birds!


And the 2nd extra…poor Bean is home now, (see here for her issue if you need to) )    with jersey instead of cone!  She’s doing ok… a bit pitiful....needs to go back to the vet for antibiotics 2 times a day for a couple days,  And spend time on the sofa with her Dad.  We want to see her this weekend (it’s Oskar’s birthday!)  but she gets so excited when we come over, that can’t be good for her.     

Happy with the State of the Union address last night….. he didn’t misspeak anyway! ..
