I stumbled across another potential paint colour for my office…Creekside Green. I got a couple of pint samples to see whether I liked that better than Victorian Garden. I painted a couple of pieces of white corrugated to get a better look because chips are much too small. I think I will go with Victorian […]

I applied one coat this morning, and did other stuff while it was drying. Got Cliffie’s tank stand painted. Didn’t take a photo, but the bottom shelf for it is done, too. The finished product. I took off the tape after I took this picture, but meh. Anyway, it’s nice; I like The Wall  lot […]

Sprang be sprangin’, even if this week will be chilly. The weekend was beautiful, if windy today, and at the arse end of my second least favourite month, I’ll take what I can get. Hyacinths, working on flowers. The only good kind of Asian bush honeysuckle…dead. I cut it and painted the cabin with Bonide […]

Someone bought the piece of driftwood I wanted on ebay while I was waiting for the seller to answer my request about the combined shipping I was denied, after she said, “Yes, I combine shipping!” I picked out another piece, but when I went out to look for rocks by the creek, I happened upon […]

This makes me fucking crazy. This is a screenshot from an actual book, published by a reputable company…that employs at least one incompetent editor. I guess ol’ Mom is a big fan of large bears. For Christ’s sake, why can nobody get this right?!

Drywall compound skim coat number two. I think three might (!) do it. EDIT: P.S. I’d ordered two bags of Organic Choice potting soil for the tanks, but Amazon sent me three by mistake. I called to tell them, and Customer Service said that because it was only $9.99, I could just keep it. I […]

Given how rough and uneven this section is, it’s the first of probably at least three, but it’s on there. I think I found wallpaper (painted over) on the edges, so I guess I’d better get a litre of the yellow paint to touch up whatever gets damaged by the time I finish with the […]

Well, it’s not much, and they’re very small sprouts, but at least two of the crocosmia on the south side of the house have survived so far.

Having to get the TV remote every time I wanted to turn down the volume or mute the god-awful theme music of Bones on Netflix was a pain in the arse, and the Roku remote is so small that I kept losing it, so I invested  $7 in a universal remote. My cheap (but very […]

I don’t think the original plant survived, but I’ll guess the seeds C gave me were viable…
