Boom! Bang! Bam! Scrape!

That is the gl-ORIOUS sound of roofers! On MY roof. In the SUNSHINE!!!

Oh, we’re very happy today.

So happy that we’re ignoring (at least right now) the fact that I feel very sick, despite my best efforts, and I have a trouble spot in my back now that flares up when I stand for more that a few minutes.

It’s all trivial. I’m getting my new roof!

In theory, the contractor that is fixing my bathroom floors will be here tomorrow.

I have spackling and touch up painting to do, and I’m continuing to pack.

Oh, and I’ve found what I want for a housewarming gift. It’s the COOLEST THING EVER!!! But I can’t link it. So, if you’re interested, go here, then look for the link in the sidebar to Woodstock Gongs. Then click on either the Large Chinese Wind Gong

or the Chau Gong

and then, click the link to listen to them.

Did you do it? Can you stand it? Is that not the most fantastic sound ever?

It is. I want one.

    (I’m sorry you’re in such pain though. I’ll send good thoughts your way.)

    Here’s the direct link to that page:

    And they sound lovely! But I wouldn’t want my neighbours to have one…they like to drink and I imagine my entire summer would be full of gongs.

    By the way, when you want the direct url for a page that’s in frames, you can right-click or on a mac, ctrl-click somewhere in the page, and select “open frame in a new window”.

    I have to agree. The gongs are cool.
