On my bike ride this morning, I remembered to take my camera… and was rewarded by seeing this swan, who was totally unfazed by my presence, on the river.

Well would you look at that?
It looks like when the house was insulated, they accidentally blew some into this window pocket. There’s certainly none around any of the other windows I’ve opened up.

Today Greg and I helped Michael install an over-the-range microwave. 
My participation was not entirely altruistic — I plan a similar project and it’s always better to practice on someone else’s house.

I certainly hope this is a vanity plate, and this person did not get assigned this plate at random.

Our kitchen lacks any sort of outside venting. I am planning to install an over-the-range microwave / fan, inspired by our friend Michael who is planning a similar project. Such a fan is too tall, however, for the existing cabinet in that space. I removed it with a thought to rebuild it shorter, but now I think I might just install an open shelf in that space instead.
These cabinets are held together with glue and staples. Ah well, someday we will replace them.

Hey look!
It’s my desk! For the first time since we moved, it’s not all covered in papers and stuff.

I woke up this morning to find both kitties on the couch downstairs. 
I guess Winnie was cold.
