Winter Wanderings 2012 - Day #22 - 2/17

This day was devoted to winding up (winding down?) my visit to Peter and Jean.  I vacuumed the now-dry debris from the stripped room so it won't get tracked through the house, we fixed a garbage can handle, we did a significant tidy job on Pete's garage-workshop and so on and so forth, clearing "Jean's list".

The day was dull and mildly threatening but after a while Jean and I decided we could chance taking our nice long walk and got back as dry as we left.  I started sorting out such cases as I had brought inside but just as I went out to continue the process in the van the rains began so I quickly abandoned that idea temporarily.  It continued raining for several hours, thereby putting paid to any chance of my making my last contribution - my intended significant leaf-blowing exercise.

In mid afternoon we all went out for a circuit - library for a quick pick-up, doctor's office for a renewed Rx, a Europen Foods shop for Coleman's mustard (of which they were out to my disappointment) and a place to look at and discuss replacement windows.  We got back just as the rains ended.  P&J remembered they had literally pounds of mustard powder in their freezer so gave me a good-size tin to take home, and I was able to finish reorganizing the van.  The rest of the day was spent quietly.
