Shadow Of The Wind

Posted on by

I just finished this book and it was goooooood!!

It’s about this young man, Daniel, whose father takes him to “The Cemetery Of Forgotten Books” and Daniel picks a book to steward. As soon as word gets out that book exists, people are trying to get it. Especially this one scarface dude.

The.name.of the book Daniel selected is Shadow Of The Wind. Daniel tries to track down other books by the author and learn about him and a whole bunch of stuff happens.

Its a great plot with a lot of twists and action and romance. Very good guys and very bad guys. Highly highly recommended to read.

Last night my UPS started blaring out a siren in the middle of the night. It took me 10.minutes to figure out where the sound was coming from. Then my AC started making a noise like a jet throttling down the runway. I had to get up and adjust the air filter, which was “whistling”. through a gap because it wasn’t pushed in all the way. (I had an annual service done yesterday).

So last night was another night where the sleep could’ve been better

But I’m alright, Read that book!

Room For Improvement

Posted on by

Below are pics from this morning’s dawg walk.

It’s another Monday morning, my attitude has room for improvement.

It was an alright weekend. Dinner out Friday (at a shit restaurant I won’t go back to). Saturday had a nice breakfast with friends, then an afternoon pool party.

Sunday I stayed home, cleaned and did laundry.. We had some good rain finally, but as usual, as soon as I put the last houseplant out, it stopped, and thay didn’t even get wet

I watched the 1961 version of The Parent Trap. It was quite good, actually. I watched it because I was considering deleting it from my collection.

I’ll be keeping it.

Now it’s back to work… Bla.

More Rain

Posted on by

We had some pretty good rain yesterday here at home, finally. I got to use the umbrella while walking Lanny. Hopefully we’ll get still more today and then have a sunny weekend!

Aren’t I demanding?

So,.I’m switched over to GoDaddy. Having some minor problems with tags, the last half seem to be missing, I’m unable to add them back..

Also.I got a call from GoDaddy marketing, for only $4000 dollars a year, they’ll increase my traffic. For what? What is here that anyone would want? I often wonder what my purpose here is, I don’t really have one. This is like a diary, I have no mission and can see no value here.

What am I doing here?

A Little Rain

Posted on by

last night, in my sleep, I heard it rain. This morning my street was dry but apparently it did rain a little. During the day yesterday, it rained hard less than a mile south of my house but nothing here. It didn’t even get cloudy. The good news is, that it can’t not rain forever and it’s gotta rain soon. Hurricane season starts day after tomorrow.

Is Anything Good Good For You?

Posted on by

For months, I was craving some Jamaican Patties. Every day, I drive by the “bakery” and it smells so good….

Finally, the other day, I hadn’t made my Marks Morning Oats typical breakfast so I stopped in and got a couple. A chicken and a bean. (How have you been?) You know what? I couldn’t tell the difference between the two. They both had the same flavour and texture. The only difference was the color. The chicken was more yellow than the refried beans.

Verry very disappointing.

I pretty much have the same thing every day for breakfast and lunch, overnight oats and turkey wraps. I need something else.

Bah! Humbug!

Bird In The Tree

Posted on by

I was just thinking about this type of bird, and the next day, after a long absence, one reappears.

It’s called a White Crown Pigeon, according to the internet. It was much larger than a pigeon though.

Happy Tuesday, have a great day!

Busy Good Weekend

Posted on by

it was a very good, busy, full weekend. Friday I had dinner with some friends from out of town and in town, quite a large group of us went out and had burgers at Sunshine Grill.

Friday daytime, the old tenant moved out of the apartment. Saturday the cleaning lady came and we cleaned the apartment. And Sunday a new tenant moved in. Quite busy.

Saturday was the Butterfield 800 meter Sea swim. Good news and bad news there, the good news is that I came in last place in my age category. The good news is that I came in first place in my age category. I was the only one in my age category.

Saturday night I went to a friend’s birthday party at Hard Rock Cafe. It was very good with lots of food. And people. I don’t think I’ve been there since before covid.

Sunday, I went to beach yoga in the morning, then took Lenny the dog to the beach and to Camana Bay around mid-day, and then went to. Bar B Que in the afternoon.

Now it’s back to work on another Monday.

Have a great week!

The Lost Week

Posted on by

As you know, I switched web hosts. They told me they were done several times. After the umpteenth time, my site quit working. When they got it working, after two days of complaining, it was a week-old version, missing the 18th thru today.

.

Not much I can do about it, my backup is for the 17th, same as what car back up.

Oh well, I can only get on with my life, try to not let the lost week destroy me!

Today

today is possibly Daisy’s last day here we’ll see how the day pans out. I am very undecided and I am sure I will be regretting my decision whichever it is
