My son had embarked on a renovation project on our home that involved removing every bit of our possessions and sending me and the XYL away on a vacation to keep us (and especially my lungs) away from the dust and sawdust as he took up all the broadloom and refinished the underlying hardwood floors. He did not want to even visit the place until the dust was gone.
So we have been living in a lakefront condominium on the Precambrian Shield, loaned to me by my cousin. Very relaxing.
Unfortunately, it has no Internet feed. Also very relaxing, I suppose.
Since returning we have been making decisions on a piece-by-piece basis as to what to move back into the house and when to do it.
I like reading the updates.
Ms Buckle puts an interesting touch on the news from the area.
However she got in her situation it is interesting to note how others who see whats going on in the country say how bad it is - and then vote to take themselves down the same path.
