Shop update: March 17th. 12 weeks post fire.

Not sure where all the time has gone.

Insurance has told me "here is the money for the stock from Pilgrim place"
Deposit is in my account, so looks like I get to have fun playing the restock game.

Still a few more issues to work through, but can at least start making better progress at filling up the Washington Way shop.

Thanks for all the support, without the kind words I am not sure I would have had the energy to start the shop again.
