Even though some of the days at school seemed soooo long, September did go by quite quickly. So quickly in fact that I haven't written up my schoolgoals or personal goals. Must get on that this week as they are due mid month. Schedule are set, but my supervising teacher has not yet evaluated all the students or sent home all the letters. A newly retired teacher came in one afternoon to sub for another teacher and she said everyone looks absolutely exhausted. And we are !!
Last weekend I noticed the next door neighbour half heartedly cleaning the their kitchen window-- didn't even take the panes out so really only 1/2 of the outside was cleaned. As well as their 'strange method of washing windows -- I have never seen them clean one window in over 12 years !-, I noticed more activity and piles of construction materail had started to disappear [ yeah ! ] and then more piles of 'stuff' appearing. On Monday Grime Busters were working when I came home from work. That is industrial heavy cleaning !! Having had 2-3 dogs and a cat over thhe years, I can only imagine the state of the carpets. But yeah !! They have moved, along with the boat on a trailer that was in my view when I did the dishes. Never used, just plonked there. The fiber glass shapes for huge whirlpools were taken, the wood, the windows. Oh my ! so much stuff !!!Hubby went into the yard yesterday and chopped down he tree saplings that they had let grow by our fence. Any larger and they would havae started affecting our fence boards. They did cut down some thistles[ they'll all grow back] , Funny how when they were moving, they tried to make the outside look presentable after living with mess for so long. They also left two windows open and it poured rain last night. There is a huge pile of trash by the garage. I suppose the landlord will charge them and they'll lose part if not all of their damage deposit.
My kitchen is dark now; they had lights on 24/7. It is nice. It is quiet and parking on the street is easy now. At times they had 6 vehicles and two bobcats and two flatbed trailers ! Never again will I let renters get away with this. I will phone bylaw anad they will contact the owner. I'm sure he'll be in for a shock when he comes to inspect ! I think they were hard workers. helping our family by letting them live with them while they built houses or got back on their feet but enough was enough.
The Supermoon was great. We had an excellent view ! It was quite something to see so many people out watching. Many people drove south of our small cities to get a clear view.
On Thursday we stopped in at the grocery store to pick up a few things to make up the $250 to get our free turkey. Today I have to peruse the ads to see if anyone has turkeys on sale. I always like to have a couple in reserve. Fortunately we love turkey !
When I got home yesterday, I had YS help me take out the panes in the smaller bedroom wiwndow and got them all washed and polished. Never did follow through with my plan of washing windows this summer. Today I'll do the large windows [ 6ft tall] and there are 3 of them in the front. Have to get them done before temperatures plummmet. Last weekend I organized my summer/ winter cllothes and shoes, and put on the winter duvet.
Carrots and potatoes were all dug, washed, dried and stored. Yesterday I gathered a few more seeds. We are nearly ready !!
