Friday. An uneven night's sleep, tossing and turning, awakening again around five to blink my way to six before getting up and getting ready to walk to breakfast on another cold morning. No rain, though, arriving by seven to find the restaurant open and people inside.

The two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, finishing up at close to nine to walk home and take the usual pictures to include the store window display and construction underway across from the Grand Lake theater. Amazing amount of construction on these streets these last many years.

Another line of scooters by the lake before home to take the selfie, futz with and post yesterday's entry and then prepare to set out first to Site For Sore Eyes to pick up the new reading glasses and then walk back to see what was happening with the Climate Strike scheduled to start at ten in front of the Oakland City Hall.

Which I did, spending maybe twenty minutes walking about taking not nearly enough pictures of the arriving Climate Strikers before walking on to the Broadway ATM before catching a bus home. About four days activity for me all done in one morning before noon.

About your speed these days.

Would like to have taken more pictures.

Later. Nothing on television and so another afternoon of listening to the news and lying on the bed watching this and that on the tablet. Ups and downs on what's available on the tablet.

The new reading glasses with the latest prescription work fine, although I'm not sure how much better they are than the older glasses with the earlier measurements. The ‘distance’ glasses don't add enough to be worth wearing, the very slight sharpening of very distant objects isn't really useful, and the new reading glasses pretty much match the old, which means my thought of needing them was based on something other than the prescription. Money down the drain.

Evening. Nothing I wanted to watch on television and so to bed by eight, although I somehow managed to stay awake until after ten for the first time in a while. Not something you want to do, I suspect, if you want to keep your sleep schedule.
