Another lovely sky here in the neighborhood.
Then back to the bar to see if the bartender actually made the Turmeric/Ginger drink I gave her the recipe for. I also took two journals for the waitresses who were so kind last week. I must say that I used to be faster when making blank journals, but age and long swaths of time have made me slower. Anyway, we were greeted with this:
and this:
After our visit the drink will be called The Webster from now on. How fun is that! Not quite like having a planet or bird named after you, but close…. Then a great salmon and crabcake combo dinner finished the evening.
Back again next week to meet up with the fellow who was interested to find out I was a writer. I will give him a copy of my short stories book just for being kind.
Still working on poetry and went to a monthly meeting this past week. I raised the question of using the “F” word in poetry readings. And after the initial sweet ladies’ gasps, I was told “if it is necessary to the poem, and not for simple shock effect. ” I have noticed that since the election of a total incompetent for president by mindless voters, the word comes so much easier. It could just be age, but I suspect it is like the red tie on my punching bag… an expression of complete despair.
This morning I took some photos of the yard out back. I think I am losing the dogwood and had the opportunity to tell my yardman when he too showed up at the bar while I was there. The leaves are all curling in on themselves and have spots.
After I sanded out all the exuberant sand blasting marks in my bench out front and blew off the walkway, I settled in with a paid for movie…the second adaption of Jane Harper’s books, Force of Nature. The first being The Dry. She does write a good story and I am pleased another one will be released in April.
I am listening to Jeffry Archer audiobooks as I get my steps in. Lovely to hear proper English pronunciations in a male voice.
Not much else new…I might just thaw some shrimp to have with pasta and aging spinach.
More later when something else seems worthy of sharing.
Til then…..
