I asked my neighbor Horacio if he wanted to work on our common fence, figuring he would be flush with cash from the sale of all these trees for firewood. Turns out he was paid in full for them six months ago. He was doing some repairs nonetheless.
A “new” restaurant
‘The Wooden Spoon’
Excellent food, ambiance, and presentation at reasonable price (entrees UYP 290, a little over USD 12). One block form the bus station. Surprisingly, it has been open for three years, but we’d never heard of it until recently. Open daily noon to midnight.
I would have taken a picture of our lunch but I don’t Instagram 😉
Down a door
Almost every time I walk the dog/s (the neighbor’s usually goes along), I pass this car, which has been there a very long time.* Some time ago it lost the driver side window. As of today …. Theft? Vandalism? Owner’s doing?

Ten syllables later
I was actually trying to remember this word, which I’d first seen on the side of a van, shortly before walking past this. Roof sealing.Go ahead, give it a shot 😉
La Casa de la Azotea means “The House of the Roof,” casa meaning shop, or business. Which reminds me, I’ve always wanted to go into La Casa de las Ruedas (“The House of Wheels”) in Montevideo, whose owners obviously also own La Casa del Caucho, “The House of Rubber.”
An hour with a paint brush…
House on a lovely lot nearby for sale. Especially after recent staining, couldn’t help but think how an hour with a paint brush would improve the looks.
I don’t know the situation of the owner (might be old/poor/far away), but reminds me of one car we looked at long ago on a consignment lot, with a broken interior door handle. When I asked if it could be fixed, the salesman told me that the owner would fix that.
After someone agreed to buy it, which of course we didn’t want to, partly because of the broken door handle. What’s the thinking?
Os. Car.
The restaurant challenge
I took this photo a week or two ago. I can pretty much make out what’s available.
This is the cuenta we got yesterday when we went with friends. I just realized it has nothing to do with what we ordered. Apparently.
No explaining (guineas)
The more you watch and listen to guinea fowl, the less sense they seem to make ….
1/10th of a second
I clicked this photo no more than 1/10th of a second before Huma charged by,
making footprints I did not want in it.
