My wife had an op just before Easter (I think I posted about that).
One of the things she was not to do during recuperation was vacuuming.
She hasn't told me that she can resume that task yet. (?????)
Perhaps a smart little robot like sav's would be a good investment.
I must investigate.

Hopefully she can still mow the lawns?

Ah, ok, that model. I did look at it but went for just "vacuum and wipe" rather than "atomise everything". It's supposed to be very effeicient - or at least effective - but maybe somewhat more heavy-handed in its cleaning.

Just make sure to keep it away from yarn!

Btw, I did read somewhere that you might want to hire a handler when going for that one. That ought to iron out any wrinkles.

I think I'm worried over nothing, Savoche.

He's very thorough. After the call to my cousin Sarah Connor I saw he was even cleaning all around my address book. Later, I saw him at my laptop, probably dusting the trackpad.

I think I'll recommend him to her. In fact, I might even drive him around her place tomorrow as a surprise!

I'm the best cuz ever.

Time to fire up the F150 and make the 32 mile journey to The Big Shed for another long day . . . .

It's almost November already. Why don't you wrap him and send him as a present to cuz Sarah? It would be the best Christmas ever!

Two days with the grandkids. I'm not sure what's left of me is quite ready for yet another work week

We had a great time, though - just exhausting! Next weekend I will not expend more energy than the vital minimum. Have to build up some reserves for the vacation

I know that feeling!

Well, since you (or I, sort of) mentioned it, there are four kinds of cotton; two American, one Asian, and one African. At least 80% of the world production is the Central American type.

So yeah, will Egyptian cotton work as well as Upland cotton?

My winter tent is Egyptian cotton

How many Egyptians does it take to make a few yards of Egyptian cotton?

I did.

Looking like I will only get 10 hours today.

But things are shaping up for working a Saturday.

Overtime adds to my bank account, retirement fund, and earns vacation time so it is a win, win, win!

I have been quiet on this thread lately. During a contest period too. Very strange.
