I have a quiet weekend planned. That is, a weekend where, apart from a few odd jobs, I have nothing to do. Next week is a little busier, and I will report on that as and when. Today, there’s not a lot to tell you. The Blue Star has just come in on its way to Rhodes, the sea is flat calm, as is the weather, and it looks like we are going to have a pleasant weather day. It was 16° yesterday, though it’s still humid, so the windows are misted in the morning, and the dehumidifier has come into play.
Yesterday, having previously laid down the hull of Titanic, we painted it, along with the decks, some mooring bollards, and other parts ahead of the build. We also started to rework Chopin’s Prelude in E minor and another piece, and had a good old chat about college, the summer, and what ‘beach pants’ to order online. That’s kind of how Thursday afternoons go in our kitchen. Meanwhile, outside, the plants are doing well, though this lot is boosted by the addition of Penny’s purples which we’re fostering for the winter. So far, everything is holding up well. Neil’s cut back the chillies and the rose, and the other ones aren’t doing much yet, so things look a bit baren out there, but hopefully, that will start to change as spring creeps in.
Right now, I shall be creeping off to do some work. After that, some reading, and I must get out for a walk. I woke up the other day with my lower back refusing to work properly, but that’s calming down now, and a stroll will help it, now that I can get from A to B without a fuss. Next week’s job is to order a new mattress.
