There was progress on the furniture, Kelli managed to paint the tall dresser. I had finished preparing the pieces from the lady up the road, now they are ready for finishing. The problem with painting in this heat is the jet clogs up, so had to be cleaned out regularly, but the pool was calling.
The dogs sleep for long periods of time, Winnie having dark hair soaks up the heat quickly, she likes the water, and likes to get sprayed whilst Kelli is watering the garden. We haven’t successfully got her in the pool yet.
Finally we managed to meet up with Lloyd and Nancy for dinner at the Carragh. It had been months since we were able to go out, but with Kelli’s sleeping pattern improving this was definitely a step forward.
However, Kelli did ask what oil they used in their dressing, the reply was soy, this is a big no no for people who value their health.
The industry needs to get smart, as more people understand the dangers of using highly processed seed oils in cooking, they should state the use of olive oils in all their preparations, that’s a good selling point.
