πŸ•‰ Leacock peeps hello

  πŸ•‰ ... on May 9 th

sunny ish, high cloud but sun poking thru

green and growing .... coffee and typing .... world seems to be going about this business

and rain came late afternoon BUT we had our fish chips already in the house. Basically, a slow to slower day.
The UK folks did call for M ... mostly. The clan is gathered in Deby.

Fish and chips was a winner. So, ' winner, winner - fish and chips dinner ' Oops. that is not a ' winner '

πŸ†‘ for the May day 8

 πŸ†‘ ...' boro is dampish looking foliage looks still ou there, skies are cloudy

was thinking last night, that I used to run out and add garbage to the cans before 7 [start of pick up s ].
well, I did get up pre - 7. Didn't go out tho ' [ its the thought that counts ]
going for coffee, now

a follow up of sorts : my previous backpack had the disadvantage of a small outer side pocket, ostensibly for a water bottle - a small bottle. I re - jigged the pocket w / a flexible tie to support a taller bottle.
however, the new traveller backpack came w / a larger [ minimum a litre ] and I thought - perfect. then it dawned that a litre plus bottle weighs 2 # at least.
Planning for overseas I went to Dollar Store for souvenirs. One souvenir was a 2 cup bottle ' CANADA  label and multi coloured Maple leaves as decoration '. The top has a tip up straw affair. Love the size and carry it around the house.

Hello Leacock peeps

well, unbeknownst to friend A ... my Birthday lunch was a treat of Japanese [ ? ] curry and a seafood skimpy Chow Mein [ great noodles tho ' ]
I  stopped off at the bakery for butter tart s and Bake well tart s. A beer to follow w / out a doubt

Arsenal, peripatetic follower that I have become, are in the Champions Cup.
The boys of spring, JHU mlax play a 1 / 4 final game tomorrow, away in Itahca, NY

πŸ’± for the 7 th

 πŸ’± ..... of the month Typing and no coffee. actually only been awake [ for real ] since 8:45 thus a late beginning

Coffee as a life raft

At the risk of being both repetitive and seemingly to be stupid, I'm going to say I do not get Facebook. I don't know what I'm doing on it. I think of it as communication but obviously it's communication that I don't relish or I don't favor one of the two. I'm thinking of dropping out of Facebook again. I think I said this 3 years ago and I think I'm back on that beam

Come sit by the fire. Come as close as the air share in a memory of gray and wonder in my words, the mystery of changes. Gordon Lightfoot

Share in a memory of gray and wander in my words

And dream about the pictures that I play of changes """ the real lyric

 πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡Ή  ...  on a sunny 'boro day. blue - y sky and some stirring in the tops. headed for 60 F

Hello Leacock, if you came from FB

Hall and Oates recorded ' Out of Touch .... '

so, this noon at the pub, the bartender didn't recognize Bob Dylan .... Oooph how to feel old. 
on a positive note, the chicken schnitzel is M ... s fav [ I get some of it too ]

Things that you say to yourself : ' that wasn't a very productive afternoon ' I napped
now. wait. nothing is produced here. ever. dirty dishes ? laundry [ we are good at that ].
hopefully, ' productive ' is loose terminology

or phrasing.

Hi Leacock

headed for 50 F today. 

The doings. Ran out, a tad early for Giant Tiger Sunday shopping ritual.
B / c the first 65 customers got a $ 10 off coupon, yes, I got one
Not much but $ 39 became 29

cookies, milk, bananas, chips and pretzels [ all on Canada s Food Guide ] 

Okay. 2 nd Guinness in glass 🍷 and iced. Despair will not take hold, here. Sitting / thinking is all. 

' when they say - Why, Why? TELL them that it s Human Nature ....... '

For YouTube music, use headphones of quality ( mine are AudioTechnique ) and look for 3D / 8 something etc videos. I'm settling for good headphones 🎧 🎧 

" .... reaching out, into the Night Time, secret walls won't hold me tonight. ....

if this town is just an Apple 🍎
