random little tid bits



7:30 am
                Second day of summer! First day was mainly spent biking. We joined friends and biked up to bookmill for a quick tea, then on to the diner for breakfast sandwiches, then over the canal trail, over the rail trail bridge, around through the fields and over the hill and back across the river and then we split off and stopped to get a qt of ice cream which we brought back to have with the strawberries left from the party on Sat. Sat was party day – a grad party, then work party for the parting Fellows. Anyway, at the end of our bike ride I was pretty beat. I did manage to get over to buy 2 bales of hay, for which the rabbits will be grateful, and some groceries and even crickets, I did a bit of spinning, made some fish for supper, did more spinning and that was pretty much the day.
                Today I have to focus on paperwork: final tax stuff, bills, filing. And I will ply the next to last pink stuff. I think K might be up, maybe we will go to Black Sheep. I don’t think there will be any biking to speak of, though I need to get out for something, what it is I can’t remember. Oh, I need to get to the bank for one thing. So maybe I will bike to that. Odd how it feels like the day is stretching out before me. If I just take a peak in my notebook I will see the vast ToDo list and that will quell any feeling of openness.
                Saturday I plucked Fabio and clipped the baby coat from Gnatalie. I need to finish Fabio. I need to give another dose of Ivermectin to Bart. I need to make up some posters to put about advertising the rabbits I have available.
                Oh dear, the local chipmunk is running about on the porch. I imagine it is awaiting its sunflower seed treat. I have taken to putting out a small handful every morning. Bad of me, I know, but they are awfully cute so what the heck.
                I got another copy of Americanah so I’ve been back to reading that. I will finish soon and get back to Dying. I actually am getting kind of tired of the racism theme in the book which is interesting. In point of fact, I rarely think about the topic and reading the book brings up the reality that for some folks, clearly racism is a reality that is constantly in their awareness. Interesting.
                Blah. It is such an extraordinarily lovely morning. But I still feel kind of blah. I did not stretch this morning, mainly bc I threw on regular clothes and K was still sleeping and it is hard to stretch with jeans on. Oh well.
