Wednesday 6:12 AM

 Good morning my extremely rare readers.  I hope you have a good one!

Two other books I have recently acquired

 The first book I have been stealing passages from and placing in this blog.  I heard of the book reading David Warren’s Essays in Idleness Blog.  The book, apparently, was an inspiration for the blog’s title.  To retire to a secluded hut in order to meditate, write and contemplate.  That would be a life…

The second book I also heard of from DW’s EiI blog. The other book of aphorisms I heard of thanks to EiI were those of NGD.

I got the books on Amazon.

Found this book in a Brandon Thrift Shop

 Only cost me two CAD.

Tuesday 6:25 AM

 I overslept this morning.

Monday 10:45 PM

 The calm of the evening ruined by drunken idiots swearing and screaming as loud as possible.  Brandon, sadly, has a vulgar barbarian underbelly that the authorities are loath to admit exists.

Monday 3:50 PM

 Very unsettled weather today.

This could be intetesting

 I have an upcoming online class with an Argentinian living in Madrid.  Should I even broach the subject of the game?

Later: I did broach the topic.  It turned out that she has spent half her life in Spain and half in Argentina.  Her husband is Spanish.  Her children are born in Spain.  So, her loyalty was split.  Turned out as well that talking to her about her product was more interesting than taking about the game anyway.  She sold premium yogurt to retailers like Carrefour and Costco and Walmart in and around Spain.

Monday 6:20 AM

 Now, things started getting interesting which could mean more irksome, or just more bizarre.

Dad’s doing fine

 

The flower we placed a number of weeks ago is still there.

Crow’s Nest

 We went for a Sunday evening drive.  We took Victoria Avenue to Kemnay and then the #1 back to Brandon.  We drove through the Grand Valley and saw the flooding.  Back in Brandon, we went to the Riverbank Discovery Centre where I took this video:

Then we drove to the Crow’s Nest.  I had heard of the place but had never been.  It’s at the end of Rosser Avenue East.  It is an antique style store.

And it has a nice park in which to walk & explore:

Better late than never that I discovered this place.  I’ll return to it.
