Update!

My hand is fine.

I took it easy on Monday maybe only 6-7 hours of work without swelling or pain- thanks to medication. Le MArais is busy this week so I've risen early and put in big long days Tues and Wed and all seems fine with hand just a modest bit of tenderness at the knuckle itself, so not to worry.

One of Jeonju's wealthiest, returned to our shop on the weekend and ordered tables for the golf resort they own near Muju. But the order had to be done in a week, so we've put otheres aside for a few days. Included in the order is the largest table I've made so far, or widest at least 6' x 5' Italian glazed tile coffee table. We had to drive up to Nonsan ( 1hr north) to visit a tile shop to ask for help hunting down discontinued and very pricy tile. We contracted out one of our carpenter allies here in Jeonju to custom turn some big wide legs. the assembly will continue today. The table will take 3 or four to carry so I don't know about the Sunday delivery...

This lady came into our shop last year to buy a tile table I made very early on, maybe the 3rd item produced for the shop. We used red, green and yellow 18" tiles we were given from an interior company. She bought it impulsively for her office, our customers never cash n carry. So she has more money than time. So Yeonmi asked about this lady to our friends and neighbors after she prepaid this order, and all the long- time Jeonju people know this family is crazy rich. Oh well. it's better not knowing. But in the lounge of the Country Club, le Marais's work will have some good exposure.

Kitty bulletin.
Sweety is just fantastic. It is so exciting to come home to her. her personality is among the best of all the cats I've known, so she is really a delight.
She hadn't been upstairs in the 4 days after coming here, so I carried her up. Then she wouldn't descend the ladder staircase, so I put a can of seafood treats on the mid step. Still, she didn't descend so I lifted her down 3 notches, yet 3 steps away from the treat and she cautiously inched down. Then I put the can on the floor and she made it to the bottom. For the rest of the day she lounged upstairs. Now, she spends so much of her time up there on various perches and we can hear her tear across the floor and up and down the ladder 3 steps at a time. All day, up and down. Up and down.

Go Canucks! Although they haven't looked much like Cup winners, so tremendously outscored in the series.

SOS! Our router died- not the internet kind- the fancy wood tool kind. So I have to get one from Canada or USA. And fast.

Ok time to water the garden before going to work.
