I went to bed quite late, between all the email exchanges and conversations it was actually quite exhausting. At any rate young JEBJ woke screaming and howling at 454 and I went in, rearrange his bedclothes, scrambled around for his pacifier, couldnt find it and eventually found the blue one which I remembered was on the shelf and got him back to sleep. Hopefully we are getting to the last of the tooth cutting torments.

I had to do some gutter clearing this morning and of course the horrible maple propellors, leaves, pine needles and snow residue made for a really unpleasant experience. Combined with the cold and rain it was not nice at all. At any rate, I managed to clear two main gutters and in the spring I will have to get a couple of fascias replaced as they look like the last repair has finally succumbed to the rot.
