Saturday. Awoke at six, blinked, and it was six-thirty. OK, up to have the usual breakfast, cereal (Kellogg's Red Berries), orange juice, a banana and coffee before heading out briefly to the mail box and slide some card board and such into the trash for pickup Monday.

The sister is off to a swim meet and so spent the the morning stacking this and that in the bedroom, the space getting quite livable, but with more to go before it's finished. Off then to take a thirty minute walk, snap a couple of pictures along the way, returning before noon. Not a bad morning, particularly for the walk, now will I do it again tomorrow?

My sister returned from her meet around two and so downstairs to say hello and that it had gone well, this the first “meet” she's participated in now in years. Had some sausage with an excellent pea, mushroom and onion sauce before heading back upstairs to continue a Prime Australian series on the tablet. Another cookie cutter day here in Oakland.
