Another beautiful warm and sunny day, I am sure we’re going to pay for this soon.
After breakfast it was time to take down another of the blinds and restring it, I am hoping this isn’t going to be ongoing maintenance, that’s two blinds this trip. Anyway this one went far easier than the first, experience is a wonderful thing. Once I had the old thread out it was easy to see what had caused the failure; one of the metal eyes that the chord ran through had a rough edge, causing the chord to fray.
Once the blind was back up I abandoned ship, Lyn was busy waving a duster around before wielding a vacuum cleaner. My allergies seemed to have cleared up over the last day or so, and I didn’t want to tempt fate with any dust that may be lurking as I know that will set the eyes streaming. While outside there was suddenly a loud sound of an aircraft engine, a Cessna 172 came buzzing over the resort at about 300′, climbed did another pass complete with a wing waggle and disappeared. Not strictly legal, but good to watch anyway.
Another pleasant lunch sitting outside at the picnic table with the temperature somewhere in the mid 70’s. After lunch it was time to do a little more maintenance. I mentioned a couple of days ago that one of the roof vents had got very brittle due sun exposure. After a little searching on the web I found a replacement and ordered it. That replacement arrived today. Taking the old one out was a bit of a challenge, as every time it tried to grip it the thing cracked even more. Finally with the old one removed, fixing in the new one was a pretty simple task. A a result, it is now a lot brighter in the bedroom, as well as being more air tight.
We increased our walking around the resort to 1½ miles today, which combined with the heat should have shed a few calories. I think I may have discovered a downside to weight loss. We are going to a wedding in the UK shortly after we get home, I have a horrible feeling that my one and only suit will be too big for me.
