it has been crazy windy for two days now. This morning the wind is warmer than it has been, so maybe calmness is in sight.
i dreamed last night I was a gangster in a shootout with other gangsters. It was a bloody dream. We were shooting wash other through the walls of a house, but I was up on a ladder so everyone was missing me. Not a pleasant dream.
Have a non windy day!
I took this picture of the tree in our the backyard on Friday evening. I find the illumination quite interesting.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
it was a good weekend. The Cayman Islands Roundup this weekend was nice. We only missed 2021 because of covid.
And now it’s back to work.
Who ever heard of such a thing? If someone wants to take their guns to the amusement park, why the heck not? There’s little children there! And Mommies! There might clowns or choo choo trains. There might be teenagers dressed as cartoon characters.
I guess nobody will be going to amusement parks any more.
And now for more bad news:
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Leave your armaments at home today, especially if you are going to the amusement park!
i have been doing Duolingo for 186 days in a row. This morning I ran out of hearts and couldn’t complete the lesson. The audio I was to translate was unintelligible. And other petty keeerap!
i try to get perfect scores on Duolingo. It’s not that hard. But I think they make it hard to try and make.people pay.
Poor quality drives away customers, not attract it. Online business seems to think that if they promise a product, then fail to deliver and ask for money to do what they already said thy were going to do, the people will just throw money at them. No, I will go to someone who tells me what it costs upfront.
anyway, I’m all bent out of shape over something that is really nothing. I’ll have more hearts this afternoon and complete my lesson.
thank you for listening to me vent.
Today I have a renter arriving to stay in the apartment for about a week. After that my mom and sister come. I think I have at least one booking in March already too!
Have a good day!
Just a few pictures from yesterday. Sunset last night, (sorry ’bout the power lines). And my new thing that burns smelly essential oils. And flowers from yesterday’s watering of the yard.
Have a wonderful day!
Back in December I got this phone. I decided I didn’t like it. Then broke my old phone and had no choice but use this new one.
After two plus months, i will say that it is acceptable. It has good specs and works. The phone can handle internet phone calls and zoom meetings without locking up. And it was inexpensive. I guess I’m getting used to it.
I’m not saying I will try another, but I’m not saying I wouldn’t. I still want a smaller phone and think these huge phones are ridiculous.
it’s Tuesday, crystal clear weather, but my friend says it’s raining on Cayman Brac. So maybe it will get cloudy here later.
have you a good day!
It was a nice weekend. Dinner with the dinner club Friday night, Saturday I pressure washed a piece of wall in anticipation of a future painting, mowed the yard. Saturday night went out and saw a really good band, (and I am not easily impressed by bar bands) Saturday night I felt great, I had a really good time.
Sunday, I took the dogs to the beach and tried to go diving. The staff were pulling the ladders when I arrived and it was quite rough.
But at times this weekend, I felt like I was wasting time. I felt like a robot, doing my activities as programed. I felt a need to go go go and never stop moving, never stop doing things. I felt like any rest or idle time was a waste.
But it’s Monday. I will be busy at work. All will be well.
Have a good week!
Today is the 25th anniversary of my arrival here in the Cayman Islands. February 4th 1997 till today, February 4th 2022.
25 years ago to the minute, I was sitting at Norfolk International Airport, nervously waiting to take off.
It doesn’t seem that long ago.
Have a great weekend!
Yesterday, again, I had an idea for today’s great post. The little voice said “you better write it down, you’ll forget.” The big voice replied “Not this time this one’s too good to forget!”
Well, guess what? The topic was so good it couldn’t be contained by the human mind. It is forgotten.
There was a really good rain this morning. I checked my ex- leaky, fixed-by-me, gutter and it seemed to be not leaking. So that’s good.
The news this morning said Facebook reported a decline in traffic and their stocks are down. People are leaving.Tomorrow is FRIDAY. I hope there’s good weather so I can go diving!
Happy Groundhog Day! Do we hope for an early spring with global warming going on?
Yesterday was a very rough day for me. I was lonely and missing my ex wife really badly. Nothing could have soothed me except her.
Unrelatedly, or coincidentally, on Groundhog Day, we always stayed home and watched the movie, Groundhog Day every year. It was a good tradition that I enjoyed very much.
But this is not a negative, sad post. I feel good and plan on having a good day and hope you do too!
