Sunday, June 28

Uh Oh, Guess who was sitting on the newly cleaned and polished throne? In the early morning hours we had a thunderstorm. I like storms and would have gone outside or over to the light to watch it progress, but the fog was still thick so all I saw was lightening and heard thunder. Oh well, back to my story. Lawrence de Esuom was sitting on the gnat free, super clean, waxed and polished crapper. I told him to “Get off, I cleaned that for my wife and I and not some stranger!”. He looked at me with contempt and said “There’s a storm a brewin and I needed someplace to hide, I don’t like ‘em, seen some bad stuff happen out here cus a storms”. Again I said “I don’t care, get off of there” and he disappeared.

The nerve of him!

I went back to bed. Didn’t tell Brenda. She worries when she hears a bump in the night.

Morning came and it was getting bright at 0500, which wakes us up. Today I am going to cut a piece of cardboard or something to cover that window.

After breakfast Brenda broke out the paint again. She painted the white trim in both dining and living rooms. I returned to the shop and sorted out the numerous tins of nails and other hardware that has been accumulating forever. When we were ashore on Thursday I bought plastic bins to put stuff in, and that is what I used. Now, when you look for a 16P nail, you can find it. Continuous sweeping and organizing is finally paying off.

The day was dreary. Fog so thick you could cut it. Visibility this morning was only 150 feet. Wind was blowing all day and rain squalls came and went. After lunch we watched another episode of “24”. I recorded a bunch of programs before we left and we can watch them whenever we want.

While Brenda finished painting I cut a piece of cardboard for the bedroom window. After dinner we watched “Merlin” on NBC.
