🚕 septembering 2

  🚕 alrighty. another month. letting you know that the view is damp and gray. that was audible, notable rain.

Coffee is warmed from yesterday. Groggily doing my duty

realized, sometime yesterday. I was concerned re : filling the gaps in the stone re structure of the flower bed, some of the gaps are too small to squeeze in binder material. slight adjustment needed

well, the question of rain to settle in the stones in the re structured flower bed is moot. Dirt is settled and packed by now

On the TV front, we have a 55 inch Samsung Q - something but it has mini LED lighting
which means ' better ? '  [ we hope ]. The rationale is: prices are not going down amid tarriff controversy or tit for tat. 

Kaboom is the battle cry of the day - all day from 3 P on ...... swimming pools of rain, white flashings across the darkening sky

🚥 September the first

  🚥 ..... and the view is damp and will remain that way.
Liar ! starting around noon the sun broke out. Yes, a touch of haze but sun

In house activities incl., the arrival of the PSW for help. Registration for mail in voting. Just easier. Checking out holiday rentals [ pretty sure that we will go back to Wellington ]

And out front to the de structured flower bed. Certainly, not a work of art. But is it good enough for a fall and winter. Criteria, safe to walk on and level enough to allow snow clearing.

The plan is to create a centre piece form a baby carriage and flower pots [ ? ] to make a perimeter and that will do the fall into snowfall. Once the snow comes down, take away the     ' art ' and leave the area bare

Almost there, then. 

and yes, clouding over for the last hour or so.

🚄 thirty one and ... Augustinian is gone

  🚄 ... or will be.
" what I've got they used to call the blues  ... [ from Rainy Days and Mondays - Carpenters ]

shiny and glistening is the view ... rain overnight and dripping still

ochazuke in hand, coffee in the thermos or vacuum bottle

a slow morning, so you might ask - ' what comprises a fast morning '. Today, TV for 2 h, comprising ' Patience ' the Br crime drama and some YouTube Videos '
Hemmed and hawed [ that takes a lot of time, you know ]
Finally, figured exercise might break the doldrums

Exercised done and so am I !

Köstritzer Edel Pils - bonus.  currently, my beer of choice

💡 30 th aug

  💡... sitting and typing. view. is gray and threatening for sure. Tea is waiting

and it became, ochazuke ! bonus

OK. the house is mostly prepped for fall and winter. gutter guards. heating cables.
As well, two trees had started shedding leaves about a week ago. Thus, very timely preparation.
One task remaining. the downspout at the back needs re structuring. It is metal and freezes especially at the bends or elbows. A more efficient tubing is required.

Sunday is Giant Tiger shopping day. We bought english muffin, dark sour dough rye, choco rolls, generic shampoo and a ' free ' replay for lotto 6 / 49. And pretzel and chips

I am indulging in vitamin G therapy. Guinness for health. ' life by the throat when you drinking Coke ' or Guinness

Sun is blooming over the view. Rain was splatterings for two hours or so

🏎 on the twenty ninth of the 8 th

  🏎  .... as the month slips away.
Yes, coffee and typing but a rag tag kind of morning. I slept til 8:30 but the cleaning neighbour comes at 10 - a kind of rag tag 1 h and a bit

Sunny out there, clouds have that gray to blackish appearance. Rain ????

Pineapple chicken and rice as the entree

Our day, or morning. The neighbour helper is here doing bathrooms. And outside the Roofer dude is doing gutter guard and ice cables. And we of course, sit and watch
or. I can YouTube the morning away

AND. does it feel weird having people work around your house. ????? maybe, today b / c it is outside and inside - all at once that is overwhelming

🚑 on the twenty eighth of the month

  🚑 ... waking up to the stair lift chiming b / c the electrics are out [ again, after 2 nights ago ] Emergency procedure dictates ' make tea and coffee ' 
now we'll survive the day. Electrics came back in minutes. 

Sunny and the Eternal Blue. Predicted cooling today. Warming up over the weekend

a reprint from notes, Aug 18 - > 

* T.O. drive was hectic til Pt Hope. W bound traffic seemed more intense. STOP at En Route, couple of clicks before X 522 turn off. Convenient w / Access, Parking.
Gas up on Hwy 33 just after turn off at ' flying animal ' gas station *

the day was quiet. some phone calls. 

🚙 ... august closing out sale is now ... on

  🚙  XXVII of augusting The morning so far. Coffee [ yesterday s brew ]. Gather fishing gear and out the door.
Headed for Pt Union Waterfront Park, about 8 Km away. Access to the Lake, and free parking.
A well organized, general purpose layout,  walking etc + playground facilities and exercise area.

The water was scummy w / the wind bringing in debris. The wave action was deep and breaking near shore. I tired a bit and gave up.
For an exploratory mission, it went well

Typing and looking at the view. Sunny but clouds are thickening a bit from earlier

Breakfast is clearing out the fridge b / c it is get garbage ready day. Regular garbage and recycling [ wet ]

We got WhatsApp d from UK relatives, they are stout hearted but burdened by family court trauma

My afternoon was. Nap. WhatsApp and exercise
