I'm usually not bothered by the weather, but this month has gotten to be a bit much. According to the weatherman we're on the way to having a month with rain every day but one. I need some sunshine for a few pictures (of a couple of trees and bridges) I plan to take but there's no particular hurry with the subjects. It's not like they're going away or anything. I'm walking and riding my bike -- it's just necessary to dress for the weather and I have all the needed clothing -- so the rain and gloom isn't actually affecting what I'm doing -- But it's TIME FOR A COUPLE DAYS OF SUNSHINE --
I finished a painting today. It turned out OK -- better than I thought it would. It's for a window in a cabinet door that will be exposed to sunshine so I didn't give it a great amount of thought or effort -- but I don't want some dreck hanging around claiming to be my work.
I'm still going to the gym (with Bob D.) three times a week, and a couple times a week I also do some weights here at home. With that exercise, the cycling and walking, I'm beginning to get back into decent shape -- and about time -- I only now feel like I'm getting back to normal, physically.
dw and I are planning some sort of small trip to celebrate our 20th anniversary . It's amazing, it doesn't seem nearly that long. About the only time it really registers is when I look at early-days pictures. Good Lord! I was slim, trim and fresh faced -- it's no wonder the dw babe went for me :-) . Where we're going hasn't been decided but we'll doubtless head for some sunshine.
Reading wise: I started "Boone's Lick" (Larry McMurtry) and after two-thirds or so I skipped to the end. The book was fine but I wasn't in the mood for it. Now I'm reading "The Best American Science Writing" -- a collection of twenty essays. The ones I've read have been interesting -- and if one is dull, I just move on to the next. Reading light. DA
