To Bed

Friday To sleep not long after ten to awaken just before the five minute KPFA news started, right on target. Nice. Up to walk to breakfast on an overcast and quite cool morning and so wore a heavier duty winter jacket, arriving at the usual time to sit out at my table on the restaurant patio, the first person to arrive.

The two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee again, the weight OK on the scale this morning, finishing up a fair period after nine to set out for home, taking the usual flower pictures and another shot of the progress on the parking area they're blocking off for what I assume will be outside tables for the restaurant behind.

The barber shop was open as I passed and so entered and made an appointment for nine-thirty tomorrow morning. We're going to get it cut much shorter, hopefully without catching the virus.

Found a single California poppy and a yellow rose that had managed a return below the Lakeview school for the first time in a while, on to snap one of the distance markers in front of the 24 Hour Fitness club, allowed to open today for the first time here in Alameda county.

Home to take the selfie and then settle in at the computer to start on this, finishing up after noon once yesterday's entry had been posted and today's photographs processed. I'd received my ballot in the mail yesterday afternoon, so maybe we'll start filling in our choices. There's homework to do on some of the initiatives and I want to get this back in the mail on Monday.

Later. The air index remains Good showing a very low particulate number and it seems to have gotten even better through the afternoon. A bath, more time on the tablet, nothing really on television and so thus has it been.

Evening. Checked out Inspector Morse at eight, remembered I'd seen it before, remembered I hadn't liked it then, didn't remember who'd done what to whom and so turned it off and went to bed.

The photo up top was taken at the 2018 San Francisco LGBTQ Pride Parade with a Nikon D5 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
