Looking on the bright side of this blogging catastrophy, I might be coming to a new level in my blog posting. The post that I had swiftly deleted was written in an oliveknitting-formulatic way. Those of you who have been reading for a while are familiar with it (this, of course excludes you 7 people who tuned in for the last post and decided to use oliveknitting comments as a way of conversing amongst yourselves). The formula is something like this: something breaks in Lynn's house + she writes about it = a bit of a laugh at the non-country-girl American living in a foreign country. Nothing complex in that equation...no degree from the Carleton of the east needed to understand it.
When I realized it was gone (no "undo"ing possible) I considered recreating it. The thought of rewriting what I had just written brought an overwhelming boredom over me. It was then that I thought, if it wasn't good enough for ME to read (write) again ... I'm getting boring.
My mother once told me that only boring people get bored. I'm not sure how that relates to this but it must, some how.
Sooooo, whilst I search for a new formula, let me tell you, with some serious exhuberation, when I walk through my front door I can turn lights on with a switch (for you 7 folks from the comments of the last post, that's a new thing for Casa Cornwell). The lights over the stove are now switch controlled as well. No more plugging them into an extension cord that was strategically placed over the gas tank for the stove.
And, just in case some of you haven't gotten sick of the old formula yet (or hadn't figured it out yet)...here are some photos...
That's Luciano, the 4th electrician in Casa Cornwell...unforunately, he probably won't be the last.
PS. If anyone needs an extension cord we are having a buy one get ten free sale. Offer good as long as supplies last, which will be a while.
Wow! That is quite an improvement over the previous "non-OSHA approved-but who's gonna rat us out?" system. Can holiday lights be far behind?
