2013-12-18; 9:29am, Wednesday. Overcast with western snow, darkish and dropping temps. Old man Winter won it over Napi’s Chinook this time. Diary: House cleaning and Christmas business. ~~The title says it all.~~ Howard just phoned and we firmed up the 29th for our yearly coffee. Now I’ll phone John for our coffee tomorrow. Yesterday was busy with shopping, house cleaning and Christmas card writing for Holland. Not on time, but earlier than previous years. Later today the floors will be washed and the bathroom cleaned up, as well as the kitchen. I still have to do some put-pile work, but that is on going. Then, after supper I want to do some shopping visits for presents and stop by at Kensington Art to show Jennie and other staff my completed mandala. I transferred my mandala and bell ringing image files to my computer, but the quality is below what I expected for most. Automatic does not always mean a good exposure, in particular when the flash does not fire at low light levels. You then have to force the flash to prevent motion blur and poor focus. I’ll have to read the manual again I suppose. I do have some ideas for the writings, but my emotions are not in tune with that at the moment. I have too many other things to do, to really give the attention and energy to that writing that it would need. The topic relates to our human purpose and the enhancement of our own existence in Existence Divine, not some thing for the back of an envelope! <9:56am~ Writings: Delayed. ~~See my diary end note.~~
