Thursday evening I discovered that the kitchen tap was very loose…

I was concerned that it might pop off, start spraying water, and cause another flood…

my housemate worked late and didn’t have a chance to look at it, but the next morning, as I started prepping for a special gathering, I decided to get help…

I called around 9:30 and my friend Al (I have made way too many calls to these folks, lol) turned up around 12:15… this local business is located on the street corner four minutes from my house, so it is very handy …

he tightened the nut holding the tap to the sink, fixed the loose handle, and advised that there wouldn’t have been a flood if the tap completely disengaged…he filled out paperwork and was gone…

amazing what a quick response could do to settle my nerves and let me continue my preparations for the evening’s gathering;-)…

thanks Next-Gen😁…

went for another walk around the neighbourhood… it was a bit cool and windy, but the sun was shining so it was enjoyable… hoping to get back into a regular routine, lol…

took another book to drop off at the Little Library and while I was there I picked up two to bring home to read…

good exercise carrying them as I walked;-)…

walking in the neighbourhood I’ve spotted a few cool Halloween decorations…

and came across a few fun memories from Facebook…

for many, many years, the kids came over on Halloween before heading out to collect candy, so we could get official pictures… too old for that now, lol…

no snow this year, and it is a balmy 8 degrees Celsius…

always…

thank goodness I had a reminder on my phone… nearly forgot to put out two boxes of pass me over items on the steps…

and then, on my way home, came across the ice cream cart…

still odd to hear the distinctive music as it circles the neighbourhood… for many years they were not allowed in our area…

ended the day with my Monday night buddies as we shared the craziness that was last week and the busyness that is going to happen over the next few months…

life seems full always…
