Tell Us About Your Day

It is hot again today: I don't like feeling sweaty. Especially since I shower every morning, like clockwork.

I have put on a load of laundry. I am also airing out my apartment. I have drunk my caffetterie coffee, too. I am browsing the Internet, also.

Certainly a hot day today. At least I have two fans to run.

A nice modern way to view art. There's an exhibition here that's very similar with MC Escher works it allows people to actually stand in the pictures be part of the artwork and get a fully submersive idea of just what is going on in the painting. We also have the luna exhibition each autumn. During that time famous works of art are projected onto the walls of buildings in the city amazing how many people will go and look at that but would never set foot in an art gallery.

Apparently they are still contesting the closure of our art gallery hare in Lincoln. The paintings were to be moved to a new building but it's sometimes as much about the place a painting is displayed in as the actual painting itself. I am not a fan of modern art galleries for old paintings. artuk.org/visit/venues/usher-gallery-3366

I've been cleaning, as usual. I also chatted with my neighbour, Robert: he's a good guy.

I am on the computer, too, as is usual: I always go online.

It's just another day.

To be honest I haven't been into the town centre proper for over a year now so have not been anywhere near the Usher. It was not planned to totally close it, just change it's function so it would pay for itself. All to do with cost cutting, as usual. Next time I go in I will check it out. I hope to later this summer but I hate this mask thing so much that I tend to avoid going as there is no pleasure anymore. There is seldom any essential need to go into the city centre anymore although I do miss looking around the gallery and visiting niche shops.

It's 5:45 a.m. and Ive woken up to the sound of gurgling water.

It's one of those sounds that gets you up immediately like when the dog starts to honk.
It's been raining heavily in the night and the street has started to flood the water is rising in our toilets and the gurgling was coming from the waste in the wash basin.
So it's all hands on deck to make sure nothing else gurgles rises or overflows.

Yikes!

Time to head up to my room to read for maximum sleepiness, but I've had the living room as my domain for most of the day. Worked on a challenging puzzle (from Cobble Hill) and did some library volunteering while waiting to see if anyone would show for the Saturday Zoom. Nope! (Anyone who's available in two weeks for a Saturday 10 am PST chat, I can get you the link!) I also spiffed up my resume and applied for two remote jobs with the same realty company, though I'd love to have a reason to move to the location listed: Victoria, BC.

Still too smoky to open the windows for the night, so we'll start up the AC again sometime tomorrow for cooling as well as filtering the air. I'm thinking I'll probably not be sticking around long tomorrow at the church BBQ - just put in an appearance and then get back to hibernating indoors at home, where I don't need a mask. (Uptick in Covid cases here because masks are now just recommended rather than required. Not sure if the Delta variant is a factor.)

The day just gets crazier. We walked the dogs in pouring rain because it wasnt stopping and the dogs needed to go out. As we came home there was a group of people standing on the corner of the street with umbrellas all holding gifts and flowers. Crazy at 8.45 on a Sunday morning, then as we came inside we heard music....

Food is so so but ambience is great.

We stripped the bedroom today.. So for the next week or so we will be living in the spare room.

It will be nice when its finshed new carpet and fresh paint plus I have new bedding and new pretty curtains for the bed.. ( I have a four poster) as well as a new headboard.

But while we are doing all the work its hot , its sweaty and its messy...

We have spent the weekend clearing out the summer house. We have decided we either use it or knock it down. It can't be a junk store, or a garden shed.
