We had a lot of rain this weekend. Steady rain for hours and, very rare around these parts. I enjoyed it. People complained a lot, but I pointed out how rare this type of rain was, and they agreed.
Had some people over Saturday night, cooked on my new grill for the first time, (It’s probably been here 6 months, unused till this weekend)
Sunday I went to a party, Welcome back, summer is over, get them kids back to school party. A 10 month old baby girl had a crush on me.
Today is the day India will attempt to land their Chandrayaan-3:moon lander on the south pole of the moon. See BBC live updates HERE.
I wish them the best of luck.
The south pole of the moon is picked as the best place to land and set up a moon base because of ice, which is frozen water. People need water. AND daylight and darkness at somewhat regular intervals. Everywhere else on the moon, the sun comes up for 14 earth revolutions and then stays down for 14 earth revolutions. So there only one day a month on the moon, which would drive a human living there nutzo.
I’m excited about this. GO INDIA! Go planet Earth!
I don’t know what’s wrong with the north pole though. Everyone seems interested in only the south pole.
Have a great day!
UPDATE! Less than an hour after this post was posted, Chandrayaan-3 did indeed successful land as planned!
I went to the grocery store yesterday after lunch. I got a bottle of coffee creamer for work and two bags of dried apricots for me. I got in line and there were two ladies in front of me buying some kind of hair products. They were laughing and joking with the cashier and I was standing at the end of the conveyor belt with my three items, watching and enjoying their banter.
Suddenly, a woman wearing a red ski mask comes and pushes her grocery cart in front of me. I said “excuse me”, she ignored me. I said ‘excuse me” again “I have three things and I am in line”. She did not even look my way. I waited for the cashier to stop talking to the two hair product ladies, and said “excuse me cashier, why did this lady cut in front of me in line?” The cashier replied that she didn’t know. I said excuse me again, as I pushed the lady’s cart (and the ski mask lady) out of my way and went to my place in line and paid.
As I was leaving, it seemed the ski mask lady was getting ready to give the cashier a hard time, I thought about hanging around but didn’t.
if the ski mask lady said anything, offered any explanation as to why she was cutting in line, it probably would have been okay. But ignoring me really pissed me off.
Since covid, people are allowed to wear whatever they want on their heads, but this is a ski mask in the tropics.
It was a very nice weekend. Friday, quiet at home, Saturday, Street Food Fest, which was very nice, better than previous years. Sunday morning was rainy, and I had breakfast with Miriam, one of my favorite people on earth.
Above is “Toast” with bananas and strawberries, blueberries and chocolate.
It was sunny in the early afternoon and I got a lot of pressure washing done before it started majorly thunderstorming. It’s quite busy out there…
on my phone, and probably yours, there’s a Wi-Fi connection and a cellular data connection of your internet service.
What grinds my gears, is that if my phone is connected to a Wi-Fi signal, and there’s no internet on that Wi-Fi, then my phone won’t automatically use the cellular data connection to access the internet. The internetless Wi-Fi effectively prevents internet access.
I have to turn off the Wi-Fi to access the internet, and then remember to turn wi-fi back on again. Pain in thee butt.
And that’s my daily whining and moa ING for today!
Another Monday today. It was a productive weekend. I did a LOT of pressure washing on my sundeck-roof. Had a contractor come and he’s giving me a quote to tile. So hopefully no more pressure washing and painting. Less maintenance. It’s a lot more work than I expected. I’m just over half way.
i did go diving yesterday morning, as you can deduce from the photos!
