The day after celebrating my 5th year in NL, my klusjesman delivered the following devastating news: last year's painters ignored a motherlode of houtrot and painted right over it; a felony compounded when, not seeing houtrot, the next contractor installed double glass windows. When said klusjesman started his job, he discovered the whole miserable mess, plus the loose balcony. And, to put a "punt" to this series of disasters, today the much-welcome morning sun glinted on - - a crack in one of the newly installed windows. So, I looked outside to watch the world outside and ponder life for a while. And asked myself, "Aren't you homesick for Canada yet?" (Answer - "No", and "No, I don't know why!)
