Hope you all are having a good Easter. Weather has warmed up somewhat here which is good. We even got a bit of sun. Barry has been here twice to work on disassembling the pool. Today he has his welding equipment so he can take the bolts out. Some are very obstinate! But I guess that means the pool was well constructed. The old deck is gone now too as they couldn't get to that side of the pool because of it and we have to reshape it anyway and also lengthen it. We want it to go to the end of the house, have it longer rather than deeper.
I have been knitting up a storm and have several items on the go at once. I find knitting very boring so I usually have many needles filled with wool for various projects. Same with my crocheting actually. There's a skein of wool and a crochet hook in almost every room in this house. So whether I'm watching tv, eating, or sitting here at the computer there is project by my side or in my hands. And yes I have wool and a hook in the bathroom too LOL Well at least my bathroom down here in Dolton.
I can finally walk from one end of Dolton to the other without making any detours. Oh not everything is in perfect rows. There are some zig zags which makes it more interesting. The old Dolton ended up in U shaped cubicles and I may have to go that route here too but for now it's okay. As I 'play' more down here I will adapt the set up to the way I do things. But it's starting to feel like Dolton now. I am currently marking down where every doll is sitting! Now that's a big task. First I had to print out all the names of the dolls (numerically). Then I went around and tagged every unit, desk, house, table, whatever and where ever dolls are sitting. I think I am up to AAO, that's 67 items the dolls are sitting on. Some units like the Ikea shelving hold 60 dolls or more while others may only 6-10 dolls. And there are some dolls that just don't have seats yet and are perched on the edge of shelves or standing where ever there is a spot! Anyway I am up to the letter J in listing them.
At the same time I am updating my inventory for the new dolls that were bought in the 2600 population. I can't believe I have bought 25 dolls since I moved here! Really that many? I've only bought 5 for Lofton! And no Silkies! I was hoping Mattel would bring out a nice Silkstone Ken for his 50th but so far I haven't seen anything to my liking.
Anyway I've had a little rest and now it's back to listing the dolls again. I can't stand for very long on the cement floor as it hurts my ankle. I reinjured it moving furniture down here and now I have to wear the ankle strap around it again. So frustrating.
Oh and my tulips (6) that I brought with me from Mississauga have taken and are sprouting up. It's really cool in the ground here still, so I haven't been able to do much gardening. Standing outside in the cold is not good for the ankle or my body either. Arthritis is not your friend! So I will wait a little longer before I spend much time out there. I can't do anything in the back yard anyway until the pool is gone and it's still way too early to plant our veggie garden. So that is good as I won't feel guilty spending my time down here in the New Dolton.
So hope the Easter Bunny is good to you and brought you lots of chocolate goodies. See ya!
