Thursday. Awoke just before six in time to listen to the KPFA News before Democracy Now! started at six, this within about two minutes of when I tend to awaken in the mornings. So we'll call it good, setting out to walk to breakfast again at seven twenty-five under clear skies and a bright sun, the weather people projecting a high close to eighty later, the temperature just fine as I was walking. Noted the damaged car with the smashed rear end had been taken away, the pieces of window glass swept up from the street, the abandoned car with the broken passenger window still sitting in place at the curb.

Arrived at the restaurant to enter the closed off dining area again, turn on the lights and settle in with the papers, ordering the two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, finishing up well after nine to set out for home. Again, just over half the people I passed on the sidewalk both coming in and and how heading home weren't wearing masks. Nothing to be done about it if aren't into sidewalk confrontation. We are not into sidewalk confrontation.

Anyway, on home taking pictures, the back and shoulders acting up a bit as we're walking as they almost always do walking home. Not walking in, just on the way back. Read something that described it as having to do with sitting too much and not getting enough exercise.

The selfie in the lobby and then up to take care of yesterday's entry, stopping writing here a paragraph back and not starting again until morning.

Later. More time on the tablet, more to do with feeling tired than any real interest in what I was watching, although I found a two hour long something on Netflix called The Witch that was just weird enough to hold my attention.

All this until eight when I looked at Vera and discovered from a comment during a break on KQED that the series was based on a series of books written by a woman named Ann Cleeves. Why hadn't I thought to see if that were the case way back when I first started watching it on television, remembering the Michael Gambon Inspector Maigret series I'd watched originally on television and then went and read some twenty plus of the Georges Simenon books on which the series was based?

You going to order one of the Cleeves novels? Or two?

Came close, they're (of course) available on Amazon, but I suspect I will. Maybe tomorrow. Be interesting to see how that might go, given how few books I've been reading these last several years.
