Finished sanding and varnishing the doghouse. First coat, that is. Only five more coats to go. But the first one's the hardest, because so much of the old varnish has to be removed. In some places, you have to sand right down to the wood.
Roy ran a lot of errands on his bicycle. Bought some more groceries (including ice cream). And he worked on the boat.
Linda has to work late again today, so she won't be coming to the boat.
In the afternoon, I took my film to a drugstore to get it developed. Then I was going to take the bus to another grocery store to check it out. The bus was supposed to run every half hour, but I sat on a bench for an hour and didn't see a bus. Then all of a sudden three in a row went by in the other direction. Since I was close to the end of the line, I figured one would come back in my direction in a few minutes. When ten minutes went by with no bus, I took a closer look at the map on the schedule. Guess what. I was all turned around as usual. I should have caught the bus on the other side of the street.
Not wanting to waste another hour, I bought a few groceries at Super Fresh and returned to the marina. Good thing I did, because a terrific thunderstorm started just as I got there. The wind was blowing 35 knots, the waves were crashing over the docks, the rain was coming down in torrents. It was great! I've always loved feeling the wind and rain in my face. Most refreshed I'd felt all day. I stayed out on the dock enjoying it, while Roy stood in the doghouse calling me a nut. So what else is new?
I loved reading this one!!! I do the same thing in a rain storm, Love standing in the middle of it. Guess i know where i get that from now. My friends are always calling me nuts too!! Love you and Miss you Grandma
