Gyrating...
Mar. 18th, 2009 08:59 pmThe factory manufacturing our kitchen is doing a pretty good job of keeping us informed. Originally, they said our cabinets would ship on 3/27. Now the date is 3/20, so we should see them sometime next week.
Galina and I have finally sawn and burned our way through most of a pile of scrap wood, with me being particularly careful about embedded hardware (specifically, nails). There's still a little pile left, but that will probably be gone by Monday.
Back when we first moved into the place, I looked and looked, and could never seem to find any kind of fossils among the local rocks, which run to sandstone and shale. Recently, I've been finding all sorts of odd little items and discontinuities and putting them by, to photograph them for a special "geology" post.
In other news, the cucumbers are now small plants, and the cherry tomatoes have finally come up into the light. I've also just planted some wild (not sure) dill seeds in a peat pellet. The seeds are a couple of years old, but if they're still viable, they ought to sprout within a week or so.
The work plate is down to a 20,000-word edit job that I took against my better judgment, but there comes a time (a) I need to be reminded of just why I hate editing, and (b) the bank account needs replenishment, so there you have it. I should probably plan on trying to get it done as soon as possible, despite the job having a deadline of Monday. It shouldn't take more than 24 hours or so; less if I'm lucky.
Cheers...
