Month: February 2022

Tuesday 2 February 2022

Last night’s impending ‘winter weather’ finally materialized this morning. It has been snowing vigorously since about 8 or 9, and there is quite a bit on the ground. The initial part of the storm seemed to have very tiny flakes, which made the swirls and skirls of of wind currents visible.

Saturday. A chilly day. We had visitors — KM and SO, and two friends with a truck — who came to pick up a mission table that we were giving away. It was nice to see them. After that we went out and did a little furniture shopping at Room and Board and Design within Reach (or, as our friends said, Design out of Reach). We tried out a number of couches and chairs. I have to say, though I had not anticipated it, the repeated sitting-down-and-gettings-up took quite a bit out of me. I was quite tired out by the end of the day. We came home and ordered pizza, and had an early evening.

Thursday 17 February 2021

A lovely sunny day; blue sky with faint cirrus clouds. Cold — single digit temperatures — all day, but getting up to just above freezing tomorrow with a possibility of snow. This is in accord with my meteorology notes that suggest that cirrus can form ahead of warm fronts and storms.

An ordinary day. I arose after a sound night’s sleep. That’s surely one positive aspect of my prostate cancer adventure — I’ve been sleeping very very well. Not that I had trouble before…

I did my usual breakfast routine: turn on the espresso machine; while it’s warming up, I heat up Katie’s oatmeal and make her tea; I put bread in to toast, go out and fetch the paper, make the espresso, and sit down with paper, espresso and toast. After that I practice piano for an hour or so.
