may 🥈9 in the ' boro

 🥈and sunny, w / high Eternal Blue

recall, the Eternal Blue. the Monguls worshipped or praised the sky over the Steppes. I got this from the Adventure s of Marco Polo.

health news. this morning early ish, I woke w / sharp discomfort in my right eye. I call these events ' stingers ' , yes , thats what it feels like. Actually, twice, this morning. Last one about 6:30 or 7
history. back in 1996, post laser eye surgery, I suffered thru ' recurrent corneal erosion ' or my corneal epithelium lifted off the eyeball - yes, sore

I was back and forth to the laser eye clinic.    b / c every else would not treat me on the basis that the erosion was the result of laser activity. The treatment was basically, tape the eyelid shut and wait. Thu from April to Nov, I shuttled back and forth to the clinic.                 

Meanwhile a former student remembered my prolonged eye difficulties and sent his sister w / a referral the Waterloo U. Eye clinic.
The specialist, listened to the history and then said ' yes, it could be the surgery, but then explain to the other 50 % of my patients that have this problem the cause '

He set me up w / a treatment plan that in essence is still my bi - weekly regimen of eye care to this day.
Still the stingers, but the irritation lasts minutes to hours not days.

 🥉third is good enough

My fav hamburger place is Real McCoy s. But I tell people that McCoy s have the second best burger in Scarborough. AND no one argues or guffaws but the comment people have after trying McCoy s is ' the best ! ' 
see third is good enough and no one challenges / contradicts

㊗ may 27

 ㊗   in the land of sun, yes, the ' boro
and dandelions

coffee and typing
and .... I might be getting the hang of this keyboard

I went out with a torch and I tried to burn out the dandelions. I don't think it's going to work but boy the emotional satisfaction in burning those little buggers down is unbelievable

wow.a visitor. sounds like not much.But I need more people in the house. M .. doesn't get out much and actually baulks at visitors  hence little social contact 
so good result

may the 🎡 26

 🎡... you spin me right round baby, right round [ or ' .. you spin me rum white rum ... ' ]

I was corrected by a cross country runner on the bus to Waterloo

Coffee and typing. all is right w/ the world

Lately,  have been trying different peripherals for the Duet [ typing right now ]

 the latest gadget is called ' pocket mouse ' or a mouse that is a pen device w / all the mouse features to control the cursor. relatively hard to coordinate the actions.

OK, what gives ? the Duet connects to the dongle or dock via a USB plug. When you shut down, the Duet, still powers the standard mouse also USB plug in. 
Normally, I look at the mouse, if the psychedelic lights are gone the laptop is ' off '
[ this is a gaming mouse, the mouse is patterned w / a LED multi coloured illuminated background - OK its colourful ! ]

I did my elliptical routine 35 min and 400 kCal. Yes, good sweat.

oh, ' boro is all sun high Eternal Blue

This keyboard is the pits. clumsy, inconvenient etc . etc

🚄 and we welcome the sun on 25 .....

 🚄 .....may

so far no ill effects from logging yesterday [ terrif ]

coffee and typing [ this new keyboard is a hard sell ]

today was old folks day billed as a reunion of Retired staff at a pub.blessed w / tasty food and pretty nice people. Our server was a Leacock grad wearing a school jerssey

🥘 mai 24

 🥘  in the 'boro rain 🌧️ 

and   🌧️.  and  🌧️

it rained real good 

Today was move stones and cement flagstone

I did a smidgen. 

Really. I heard  " not you, leave it !" I believe the big fear is having to return my body up the hill 

??????????

Ah, well, job done. We were prepping the outside apron of the shoreline for a delivery of material. And perhaps of major need, clearing the floor of the boathouse for a re - levelling of some sort but those stone flags had to go, at the very least.

We were walking on wet soil, mud and goop . The goop was concentrated in the middle of the floor and slightly more towards the river direction 

W / out the boathouse floor cleared, no real levelling could be complete
