Well…last night was a much
better night for the lil’hombre. Phew!!
There was some extra
rocking but then he slept until we moved him at 11pm and then did not stir
until 6am…and even then, after a tank up, he slept until 7am!! Yahoo!!
We had a good morning
rutina, but he seems to like to split his desayunos into 2 sessions. Or maybe
he likes his breakfast cold as he wolfs down the half I store in the fridge
while we are on his walk. I have asked him, still waiting for the answer!! Ja
ja ja
No ah ha’s on our walk,
but madre y Max spent some time with one of his novias during their walk. I
guess she held his hand, stroked his hair and just admired the lil’lady
killer!!
Roman popped by and we
went to the roof. We have had some good rain since the hurricane, and no more
water has come through…phew again.
10pm UPDATE…
Had to call in the
reinforcements…yup, Max is still awake. I spent some time with him and have
figured out that he does not like the dark, or to be alone.
If I left the flashlight
on and he could see I was in the room with him, he was calm in his cuna. The
next step would be for him to fall asleep with one of us there.
Mañana…night light and we
will give it another try.
Back to the day…
The roof has had some
repairs completed on it for the past week and that may have helped, but it is a
patch job and the roof needs a new membrane.
As for the area around the
gable, it will not be a cheap job to repair and I leave that up to Nick to figure out
what he wants to do.
I am still tracking down
his contact, and maybe we will get some better insight into the situation. Stay
tuned.
Roman and I then spent
some time talking about Mojon and we should get a look at the CAD drawings in
the next few days.
We also looked up some
examples of Talavera tile…world famous from only 3 towns in Mexico. Click HERE for examples.
We are looking at using this
tile in the baños and the front of some staircases.
But how about this piece
of equipment to rest on?
Only $700 US dollars!!
Might have to make a road
trip to Puebla to get these tiles at the best possible prices as they are not
cheap when bought in other parts of Mexico or Internationally.
Roman is back mañana to
look at a ventilador that has a loose blade and we will discuss some new Mojon ideas.
Still trying to solve the parking issue. Stay tuned.
Sometime during the day,
Bex y Max went for a walk…hello to some $100 peso jeans that have become new
jean shorts for madre!!
Plugged in the MJ and made
the call to the BC Health peeps. Wow was it tough to get a real person on the
line. And when I finally did, it was the wrong government department!! At least
he transferred me to the right peeps.
We are requesting some
information, but they won’t send it to us via email. So we write out a letter,
and I will send it to mi amigo Melon who will fax it to them.
They will get us the
information, send it to Port Moody where mi hermano will scan it and email it
to us. Welcome to living in a country which lacks fast and reliable mail
service. Doph.
After some 40 minutes on
hold or hitting the 1,2 and 3 keys as well as the odd # key, and another 5
minutes actually talking to a living person, the call was complete and I got
ready to hit the gym.
Doesn’t happen often, but
it was the worst workout in months. I was not in the right mind space, so
packed it up and headed home.
Grabbed some more molida
res as we needed a bitty burger for Max’s cena and then a quick hola to Lalo.
Home and we had a short
alberca time as the agua was fria and with no sun….brrrrr.
But madre stayed for some
laps and Max and I were greeted at the top of our stairs by this kitten. Max
LOVED the kitten, playfully stroking it and giving an ear a tug.
And then the darn thing
ran into our condo when I opened the door. Max’s eyes were wide and he was
entranced y this animal scooting around the condo.
About this time we dialed
up mi hermana for a FT and Max put on a good display.
A good rutina up until his
actual bedtime…and you are all caught up.
Bex managed to get the
lil’guy to finally fall asleep and she has now headed back into the oficina,
completing some work for both her Belgium and American clients.
Not to many fotos
today….but here they are.
Bob, the one legged pigeon.
A very trusting soul. The musician has left his instrument (like a large wooden xylophone), protected from the rain, standing alone in the zocalo.
Have a great martes.
Marco, Bexico y sleepy Max
