And Today…

This morning the repair person came to look at the dishwasher. We spent some considerable time in the basement looking for the water cut-off. I knew where there was one to cut off the outside water faucet to prevent burst pipes outside in the Vermont winter but I had no idea where any other cut-off was. All I know is that there isn’t one under the sink which to me would be the logical place to put one.

Anyway, the bottom line is that Bryce, the landlord, has to find a way to cut off the water before Bruce the repair man comes back with the valve he had to order! So, of course, that means a couple more days emptying out the pan under the leak and putting towels down to catch the overflow during the night because neither of us is getting up during the night to empty the pan! About all I did today was to wash the towels I have been using to soak up the spilled water in the kitchen.

Bryce came knocking on the door this  evening with two big tomatoes that had fallen into the grass off my tomato-in-a-pot, Fred said that we are probably going to have rain and wind tonight so I went out to put the umbrella down and take the smaller plant pots down from the edge of the deck. I expect I will be picking up more tomatoes tomorrow!

Last week I went through my Windows computer programs disks and manuals and  offered them on Freecycle. They were picked up this morning.

Tomorrow is the book club meeting. I still haven’t finished the book. I really can’t get into it, but I will try again tomorrow.
