Time hurries along
We have gone back to an almost full staff at work. We are no longer quarantining items and have re-opened our book drop, but I’m still keeping masked and washing my hands several times during my day there. I had a fleeting thought while in the stairwell, between floors, of being in some Sci-Fi world where the atmosphere was poisoned and the germs, unseen, were all around me. Nice.
The garden is coming along. Speaking of poisons, I was out spraying Sevin and Daconil on the plants Thursday, at dusk. We’ve had a lot of damp, humid air (and rain), and I’m behind on my attempt to keep away the bugs and mildews. We have had yellow squash, enough to put some up in the freezer, zucchini, which was made into bread, and peppers, which went onto homemade pizza as well as some getting frozen. Last night we had fresh eggplant (picked prior to spraying), along with zucchini, as Parmesan, and today I had some cherry tomatoes, along with a Roma.
Our Maytag washer is misbehaving. I’m hoping it is the pulley/belt and not the basket bearing. I bought the former, around $20, to install this weekend, but if it is the latter I’ll call it done with: the machine is only seven years old but the basket assembly (I’m told it has an integral bearing) costs close to the price originally paid for the washer. And the lid lock switch is acting badly *sigh* The 10 year warranty on the basket would not cover the bearings, I am told. We shall see when I take it apart.
I’ve been watching TV at night, movies as well as cartoons. I saw Patton again, after starting a host of films and moving on after ten or twenty minutes: Swordfish, Road to Perdition, Quigley Down Under, Sweet Tooth, Layer Cake… to name a few. I did watch, and enjoy, Chinatown. I’m currently watching Beastars, and a small series on Hulu called Housebroken (it has a catchy opening theme: https://youtu.be/kGiWVLU1v-k). Oh, and Rick and Morty. The new season is pretty good, so far as I’ve seen.
I’m also watching the bears at Katmai, again. I love seeing them fish for salmon, and always think of the Brother Bear scene at the river.
Finally, This book came through work on Friday: it is a delight. The expressions on the Alligator and bird are so well done! And the story is cute.
Feeee-Booooo!
Addendum-
More than you may want, or need, to know about that “cake-in-the-rain” song! :D
