The stonework is now all finished! They had such a good idea how to work some into the back yard.
And put some under the pots.
And under the Free Radical that has come home and has the perfect hairdo.
The bamboo is all in place out front and we (the yard man and me) like how it gives a separation in the long lead up to the door.
Now to get the new screen door put on so it looks less fussy there and lets a breeze come through. The remaining bamboo piece was cut to wedge in with the other on the porch to hold the shade from blowing in and toppling whatever was it in its way.
The walks to and from the gym are always interesting to see what is coming up on the walk.
This morning I met the usuals from the coffee place at a breakfast outing to a place Lee and I used to go to every Sunday morning. I forgot how good the food was there. It might become a regular outing since the closer breakfast places are limited in their menus. I had a fresh spinach omelette with cheese and the best biscuit I have had in a long time.
Yesterday I baked cookies and savoury scones. It has been hot, but I needed to bake for the corner people and get more scones in the freezer. Those scones make such a good meal with a salad and/or fruit.
For the past several days I have been putting together another book of my short stories. Today the proof came and the only change I will make is the cover image. It seems to fade away into the grey at the edges. Not a good contrast.
There are ten stories inside and it is the same size as the other two books, so will be priced the same…$9.99 on Amazon. Next will be my novella written a while back. That has taken some effort in editing but is close to being ready to print.
Then I am back to writing and working on the color images for Burke and Wills.
It is quite warm here…90 degrees. So I will get a walk in later just before bedtime.
The internet was out for a bit this afternoon, but finally okay. So, I will make adjustments to the cover of the short stories book and send my approval for publication.
The family call is tonight so I can catch up on their news. Marla will miss it because she is in Canada at Stratford watching King Lear. So glad I can hear all about it without having to attend in person.
There is little other news. Too hot to work on much.
Til later…
