6:30 AM
Heavy grey clouds.
Chilly. Damp. Basically the same as yesterday. And the day before
that, and the day before that...
10C outside, but 15C
inside. Yay for insulated shelter!
A week ago today I was
driving and driving and driving. Not driving is better.
We'll be going to
Winnipeg on Friday. Probably a good thing. Getting a bit low on food.
I have 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks, some asparagus, some onion...
There is salad left over, and eggs. My sprouts are ready! And I have
lots of grains. I'd be ok for a bit, but meals get pretty boring once
the veggies are gone.
8:20 AM
Been out with the dogs
for a bit. Threw toys, got the tape measure from the shed, got 2 more
buckets of water from the lake. The water seems not too bad this
morning. Maybe my body temperature has just dropped so it seems
warmer.
9:00 AM
Breakfast is almost
ready. A curried asparagus and sprouts omelette.
10:40 AM
Wow. The Beach Boys are
on Q, talking about their 50th anniversary album and tour.
These guys are in their 70s. I mean, good for them, I guess. They
don't sound that old singing on the new album. Their speaking voices
sound like old guys though.
11:30 AM
Went up to the truck
with the dogs. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought there were 2
cases of beer left, but there were 4. I brought 2 down, as well as a
bag of dog treats I had left under the back seat.
Lots of mushrooms along
the path. The waterfall is flowing merrily. We'll go up again
tomorrow to get the last 2 cases and take some things up I will need
to take to Winnipeg on Friday. It'll be nice to have cold beer
waiting when we get back on Saturday night.
1:50 PM
Heating up the last of
the chickpea curry. There is a really noisy bird outside. Seamus is
really interested in this. He is sitting, gazing out the screen door
and he seems to be trembling with intensity. Expecting leaping and
barking in 3, 2, 1...
5:00 PM
It's raining hard.
It's dark, not like night, but like much later. I can't see across
the lake because there is a heavy fog, or maybe just it's raining
that hard. My poor tomatoes are getting drowned.
I have been reading
Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess)'s book, “Let's Pretend This Never
Happened” and laughing so hard. So hard I had tears pouring down
my face and beer almost came out my nose. It is prefect for a
gloomy, wet, cold, dark day like this. If you find yourself having
such a day, I heartily recommend this book. Also, it helps if you
are teensy bit odd yourself. The enjoyment of the book I mean. I
can imagine some people who would not be amused by it. They also
would not be particularly fun at a party.
WHY DOESN'T IT STOP
RAINING ALREADY????
7:00 PM
Still raining hard. Fantasizing about indoor plumbing. My hoodie is still not completely dry from the last time I went out...
8:00 PM
It seems to have stopped raining for a bit. It's lighter out than it's been all day.
8:30 PM
I have finished the book.
I laughed so hard it hurt. If you haven't read it already, WHY NOT???
8:30 PM
I have finished the book.
9:15 PM
The dogs and I went down to the lake to look at the first clear sky for days. I took some photos.
I know I shouldn't bore folks with my summer photos. But it's just so darn pretty, I can't help myself.
9:30 PM
I'm cold. I'm going to bed.
