Work Week Wrap

Weeee!! Another few hours until I'm off. Whew! I'm not afraid to admit that I am whacked. After that incredibly long stretch of daily rain we have finally had a nice bit of weather this week. I've missed out on most of it being on nightshift and abed through the day. It has meant a lot of light broken sleep leaving me due for a good rest.

The house population here has continued to dwindle and that makes things all too manageable - to the point of boredom. Hmmmm; that beats some of the excitement of recent weeks. No one seizuring lately, T.G.

Had a call earlier from my daughter. She was playing it cool and not letting on about flying in Monday. I played it cool too, not letting on Lynda had told the secret (because Lynda would strangle me otherwise).

I just finished Norman Jewison's autobiography, thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it. Picking a favourite movie from all those he directed would be a difficult choice - Moonstruck? In The Heat Of The Night? Hurricane??

Of the music I picked up on that same library visit I'm most enjoying Habib Koite's 'Afriki' cd and Lyle Lovett's Large Band release. I'm always a sucker for Annie Lennox's beautiful, strong voice and she offers another great collection of tunes on 'Songs Of Mass Destruction'.

Another of those pesky birthdays has passed this week so I guess I better update my profile to reflect that. Born in '54 and turned 54. I share that August 20th birthdate with Robert Plant, Connie Chung and the recently late Isaac Hayes. Maybe Lynda and I can get out for dinner and a movie to celebrate Sunday night.

The thistle and goldfinches? I showed Lynda the couple of pics I have so far (not good) and now she's on the case as well. Between the two of us......

I haven't done very well lately keeping in touch with most everyone, whether by email or commenting on posts. One note for now though - Robin - thanks for your recent visit and comments. I haven't commented lately on your photos because it seems redundant to keep telling you how good they are. Maybe we can agree that I will just do that bi-monthly or quarterly. But guess what?? You are still showing signs of improvement with those sunflower shots and especially, eSPECIALly 'Another Rainy Day'. Amazing! Great eye!! Just sayin'.

And who can believe there is just a week of August left and Labour Day hard on it's heels, school back and all. Wow. Time flies when you're busy. Time for a holiday; maybe I'll pick up and head for the cottage for a while and enjoy what is left of summer.
