When I first moved here I had to buy all the various wall and ceiling lamps since the previous owners had taken all their light fixtures with them and just left lightbulbs dangling from cords. But from the beginning I’ve had issues with the overhead light fixture in my bedroom, something to do with it being on a three-way switch, I really don’t know. In any case, a while back it just stopped working entirely and my handyman Luis said he would take a look when he comes by over the summer to do a few other small repairs for me (after I’ve signed the contract renewal🤞).
Meanwhile I’ve decided to go with bedside lamps, which I haven’t had since the cats ripped the shit out of the two wicker ones that used to sit on The Headboard (also no more since the last move). So lacking a headboard and or bedside tables these two lamps will sit at opposite ends of the room, one close enough to be useful for reading, the other for actually seeing what’s in my closet (that’ll be a nice change!). Picking these guys up this weekend.

This was fun! The second Gastrogarden Fest was held this past weekend down by the river so I met up with Jeanine and Fiona and we had a delicious afternoon together. Very impressed by the line up of top restaurants participating, and also those involved with cooking demos in the events room downstairs. I didn’t actually make it to any of the demos or wine tastings, but will certainly plan to next time. Hopefully by then I will have ditched the crutches (really hard to attend these things otherwise).
