Correct

Friday To sleep soon after ten to awaken at six-fifty, just like that. A better night's sleep than most I've been having with none of the aching chest business of the past. Be nice if this were to continue.

Up to walk to breakfast under overcast skies, but looking as if it would clear up sooner than not. The air index on the Chronicle site again Good for 2.5 particulate content and so arriving happily a little early to find the patio all set up and I, the first person there to sit down and open the papers.

The two strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, finishing up well after nine, only one other diner having arrived during this time. People picking up take out, but no dining customers but the two of us out on the patio, the owner commenting on this at a time she said she'd brought in a full crew. Not good.

The sun broke through (blew away) the clouds about halfway through breakfast and so off to walk home under a bright sun and a light breeze that kept me from getting overly warm in the long sleeved shirt and light summer jacket. Went overboard again shooting pictures of flowers and Lime scooters along the way.

Home to take the selfie and start the processing of pictures, finishing yesterday's entry and posting routine. Seems to keep me amused as I've not had (too many) thoughts to change.

Later. Started going through some storage boxes to get rid of paper I don't need to keep anymore, old calendars and the like, when I came across a set of old photographs that were taken for a company brochure when I worked for Keith Roberts & Associates (I was the Associate) that I didn't remember having had them taken. Did I once have hair like that? So a scan.

Evening. Made a dent in going through the boxes, a first round with more to come? How many times have I said/thought/done nothing about following it through?

Watched the first hour of Inspector Morse before getting bored (better than getting upset) and going to bed to listen to the last couple of innings of the baseball game on the radio before turning it off. Listened to the six minute ten o'clock news on NPR and then worked at getting to sleep, managing to do it before eleven if the recollection is correct.

The photo up top was taken at the San Francisco 2017 LGBTQ Pride Parade with a Nikon D5 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
