A morning for getting things done. How is your Sunday going?

I decided to be productive this morning. I put my laundry in, went to Target, bought a vacuum cleaner and some Spring shorts, and worked on a corner of the LBL L-100 speakers I'm restoring. So now I'm in vacuuming ecstasy. You know it's one of my favorite things. In my first five minutes of vacuuming, I had sucked up an entire cat. Not Kitty, but you know what I mean. She doesn't like the vacuum and went up on the roof. I'll attach a picture of a difficult speaker bottom I'm working on today. It's right after I did a "hot water treatment," which expands the wood and makes eliminating scratches easier. One can see what the wood will look like when oiled as well. How is your Sunday shaping up?

the speaker will look good when you get it finished. It's nice wood.

It really is. Walnut like that is hard to find these days.

@RubyHawk Exactly. Mahogany and rosewood for guitars are also becoming hard to find.

@TheHorse And walnut would cost a fortune if you did find it.

If it was Sunday and I know it was it went by much too fast and now another Monday is looming and time to figure out a whole new week,

Quiet, blissfully quiet. Tomorrow the noisy road works begin again not far from our home.

I did three loads of laundry yesterday. We went through the closet with my husband, took out what we intended to donate. I washed, ironed and those things are ready. I will bring to the Town Hall for the Ukrainian refugees.

@TheHorse - Our small village now have 30 Ukrainian families living here. The Mayor offered 30 free apartments to host them.

I just found out that Jeff Fortenberry was convicted on three counts of lying to the FBI and now could get 15 years in prison, so my Sunday is shaping up acceptably. Republican congressman Jeff Fortenberry is found guilty of lying to FBI about illegal foreign donation

@TheHorse They can get him. The question is, "Will they get him?"

The wood you've oiled looks a lovely colour. Cats can sure shed a lot of fur.

I vacuumed again tonight (in the interest of science) and generated another half of a cat.

@thelme55 7 C is pretty cool! That's about what it's reaching late at night here. But it's been in the mid- to upper teens C during the day.

The speakers will turn out beautifully, I'm sure! Nothing much going on here. Watched the Oscars show and Red Carpet.

I heard that some actor embarrassed himself at the Oscars. At first I thought it was staged, but maybe it wasn't.

@LindaOHio In my experience, Chris Rock is usually on target. But he should have let this one go. What Smith did is sad, though.

@TheHorse It was not staged. Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife's bald head (she has a medical condition and shaved her head). Smith stormed up to the stage and slapped Rock. Smith should have handled this after the ceremony was over and used his words, not his hand. He's lucky Rock didn't file assault charges.
