took four of my most used knives in to be sharpened… and was advised they weren’t really worth sharpening…

made me sad as two of them were wearever knives that were my mom and dad’s… which did make them likely sixty or seventy years old…

so, then I bought some new ones… had fun with the salesperson who had lots of questions and made me hold many knives…

lucky for me, they were all reasonably priced, unlike those that my housemate has… the staff were drooling over his collection, which they had just sharpened and were the reason we were there, lol…

splits…

great anticipation and excitement on Saturday…

we’ve been looking into air conditioner splits, as well as a new air conditioner for a while now…

the current air conditioner hasn’t worked for at least three years, and maybe even five… I can’t remember…

when I had someone in to look at it, they said it was leaking freon and couldn’t be repaired… it has sometimes been very hot upstairs but I managed with a tower fan…

last year I’d been quoted around $5,000 to replace it and that just seemed too much, particularly as the cold air never really made it upstairs, lol…

we had an HVAC person in the other day and the splits just weren’t going to work here… before moving forward with a new air conditioner, they suggested trying to get the old one working… they came back on Saturday to see if they could get the old one going…

they were here for a couple of hours and got it working😁😆😄…

the problem was the virginia creeper which had wound its way around the motor… I guess the other company was just wanting me to purchase a new air conditioner…

it is recording 13 something and the optimum is 20, so that sounds quite wonderful to me…

my housemate is going to be exceedingly happy…

old…

got my Canada Goose jacket back from More Than Pyjamas today… Margo took it in by four inches and it fits perfectly now…

so happy because I wasn’t able to wear it last year as it was so big… had been told by the makers and a few sewing places that it couldn’t be altered… pleased that this old coat has been made new again…

spent a lovely time this evening with Kali Martin who owns Atomic Age Vintage… she stopped by the house and took away two boxes of treasures and a stack of old lps…

pleased that I’ve finally made the effort and a tiny dent has been put into the piles of stuff…
