It is NOT raining! The last of my towels is on the drying rack out on my tiny balcony and should be dry by afternoon. The sun is actually shining!
And my DOOR is still opening and shutting with a turn of the doorknob just like a real door! It’s a miracle. The workmen didn’t come yesterday to paint. I’m hoping they come today, but the paint is just cosmetic. The important thing has already been done. 🎉 🥳

I’m enjoying sketching Christmas cards for my local people here. I’ll get them all sketched and then I’ll start painting them. Meanwhile, I’m going to paint some of the sketches I did recently at the cafe.

The dolphins jigsaw puzzle is coming together slowly. I have learned that it really makes a difference how much you pay for a puzzle. The two I’ve finished were both wood pieces. The dolphin puzzle is cardboard. The pieces don’t hold together well and they ‘travel’ on the table. I think I told you that we tried to order my turtle puzzle from Lazada. They canceled the first order and I chose the dolphins puzzle. Then Brian tried again to order it. They canceled again, so now he went to Amazon and ordered it. We’ll pay through the nose for shipping, but I think this is the first thing we’ve ordered from Amazon since I moved here 7 months ago, so I don’t feel as guilty about the cost as I might. I am SO looking forward to that puzzle!

I received the third book in the Lost Brides trilogy by Nora Roberts a couple of days ago. I have now started reading Book 1 again, now that I can read all 3 back to back. I’m in Heaven!

The only errand we have today is to get cash for me to pay for my massage and leave money for my housekeeper tomorrow. I’m taking some thank you cards I made for my massage therapist and the other kind lady in the shop,
and I’ll leave the money with the thank you card I make every week for my housekeeper.

Brian brought us a smoothie we shared yesterday mid afternoon. It was made with avocado, banana, and strawberries and it was absolutely delicious. It has a zillion calories, though, so I really have to watch how often we get this. I really want to get to my goal weight. I am trying to expand my horizons a bit on iced coffees. So far I like mocha, latte, and cappuccino. Brian is researching what other things are available that he thinks I might enjoy.
