August 12, 2021. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Chores.

Ever since Wendy and Ken arrived they have been doing chores. Wendy changed the kitchen light which has been bothering me since my arrival. I was waiting for Mal. Now it is done. But this morning was chore day for Wendy with some help from Ken. Fist Wendy took all the bones from 2 cooked chickens to make broth for soup. After simmering for 3 hours with onions, carrotts, bay leaves and pepper corns, she strained the broth and added fresh vegetables to cook. Last she added some chicken. The soup was yummy, which we three ate for lunch, all thanks to Wendy. While the broth was simmering, she fixed things. She tightened up the toilet seat in the guest house. And she figured out the lights to the cellar. She replaced a screen in the door into the workshop bedroom and she repaired with fancy tape the holes in three screens in the main house. With Ken's help, both storm doors now have working screens. The window in the living room has no screen so Wendy searched everywhere to find that screen, all to no avail. I have no idea where it disappeared. I knew it was there several years ago but it is not there now. But now with both screens in the storm doors we got a good cross breeze in the living room. After reading the manual for the dishwasher in the guest room, she found that if the water will not flow, check the latch. After opening and closing the latch several times, the dishwasher started working. Magic. After running it once more, I will cancel the repairman. Hurrah. By the time they return to Ontario, everything in the house will be in perfect order. Pretty nice for me!!
