It is not wise to leave the house while workers are present. So many things can happen...or get done in ways that are unfathomable to us...
So here I sit...and sit...and sit....and sit...
I have done some Honey Do things while waiting.
I attempted to patch our leaky casita roof. While on the roof, I couldn't see any visible reason for the leak, so I sealed everything. They have a material called Fastil which is a plastic, thick paint. Apparently it works in the intense sunlight near the equator.
Then I moved on to replacing 4 light bulbs. Not much work you say. Well, we have high ceilings, requiring an eight foot step ladder. The first step is to clean it off since I have been using it outside in the mud. Then, thousands of bug carcasses must be removed from the light. covers. There are an unimaginable amount of bugs, all drawn to the light. No difference in bugs or people.
Then, of course, the wrong size bulb is inserted in the fixture. Just to keep things interesting!
It is now noon and I am still waiting.
Next topic...
We have friends visiting from the US. They are bringing a teenager to attend a Spanish school and live with a local Panamanian family for 3 weeks.
Should be a blast showing them around and visiting.
Yella will have to miss the first 2 days of their visit. Her jazz band is playing 2 nights in Coronado, a Pacific beach resort close to Panama City. Doesn't it always go that way? They have not played an out of town gig in over a year, and now, when we have visitors, they get one.
No way to miss it though...Yella is too instrumental to the band to miss the gig. If she doesn't go, the band doesn't go.
It is looking like the dog will not get trained in the new electric fence before Yella leaves. Too Bad. It would be good for the dog to roam freely around our finca. With in the fence of course.
Well, I'm off for some more sitting.
