Do You Tingo

... can you boogie can you sky ( from a song )

No, ' tingo '  has nothing to do w/ dance. In fact , it is a south sea island term for - borrowing things until your neighbour's house is empty. On CBC , ' Morning ' , someone found a site that lists words that do not translate from language to language. Others were e.g. isthipiks - a cold beer on a summer days ...Krikey , in Canada , we'd yell , ' Patio '

Weather : bright blue sky and cool going to nicely warm , thank you. Rain threat , minimal.
However , Arthur is kicking up a fuss on the Eastern seaboard from N. C. to the Maritimes

Bedroom news , where blue meets blue , I did some fine tuning of the lines. Unfortunately , there comes a time when you need to stop fiddling w/ the lines. Doubly unfortunately , I discovered this twice ( or , maybe 3 X ). The upshot is that paint job looks a little more even.
What's left is the window frame - all wood - and the doors.
We are running out of celestial ( the lighter blue ). To be fair , the celestial can did cover 2 1 / 2 walls plus a little more. The baseboards are the same colour as the walls.
We still have a time margin pre - shutters of close to 3 weeks or so. But we worry so much , the shutters will probably come pre - Xmas.

Happy 4 th
to the folks down south
