Heartland

Wandering Maryland's eastern shore as we take a break from the city for my wife's birthday.

Sirens have been replaced by birdsongs. It's nice.

Stripping 50 years of paint off a steam pipe in the bathroom (it's been on the To Do list for 5 years but can only do it when the heating system in the building is off), sanding, cleaning, priming (2 coats), topcoats tomorrow. This is why the gods invented 3-day weekend.

Drinking iced coffee, gardening and making two kinds of salsa for a taco party later on.

Still wandering the eastern shore with the addition of lots of mosquito bites on my feet.

I knew I should've stuck to the jeans and cowboy boots, dammit.

i've only just got up but quiz show The Chase is on ALL day on The Challenge Channel.

Not today but yesterday reflecting on a great gig at Leicester. Missed you Jenny and Chris

Took up running again after a loooong break. So, it was more like jogging and walking, jogging and walking. Felt good to blast tunes and expend some rage-horror.

Mostly gardening while impressing the neighbours with my collection of Dio-era Sabbath at Marshall stack volume, invited them around for a nice bottle of red or three afterwards as one of them loved Ronnie Dio too, now watching the Manca One Love gig on the Beeb.

I saw that line up, I really loved it, but then like at least one other here I think RJD was the metal singer.

Haha.
If you do, switch out the masking tape for gaffer tape. It adds to the whole R'n'R ambience.

Watched today many many episodes of House of Cards

..spending too much money on games in the Steam sale. Such a geek!

Well, right now they are a bit frightened. It's all new to them. They are very small (about 6 weeks old).
They are currently snuggled together in a corner while this new "world" sinks in.

Omg they are so cute!

And you have a black one too! - my favourite kind and so often overlooked.

We need a Heartland cat thread setting up so we can have loads of cat/kitten pics!

No we don't

Happy days Steve xxx

Today I was mostly watching my friend Tony Reid play a gig in Heswall, covering everything from Free to Massive Attack in a pub on the Wirral, he often plays in Hebden Bridge for us Leeds folk, well worth seeing imho

... same as the other seven days of the past week ...
watering plants, sprinkling lawns, sweeping leaves, tending plants ... and the cat ...
and without access to phone or internet ... at least temperatures have decreased to below 30° C over the past three days ... *sigh.

It's over now. Resumée - recreation won't even start before at least a week far away from the standards ... ...

Mostly traveling, with the eventual goal of arriving in Reykjavik.
