The backhoe has already been lifted out of the construction pit in our back alley, indicating that the pit’s earthy surface is now ready for the concrete to take its ground floor place. The site is so tight that I have given it the name of puzzle site. A year from now a four story condo building will deprive me of the extra deep and wide view I now enjoy!
Yesterday I completed the extractions of the last two BlueNote categories, namely ‘Humanity & Diversity’ and ‘Narrative’. That makes it the turn of the summaries and the subsequent HTML markup. In that department I am already four (4) days behind, so I have enough to do. That in addition to this aft’s visit with Juliet, tomorrow’s laundry and other activities such as cooking and eating, not to mention snoozing!
Derrick called me yesterday to say hello and bring me up to date on his activities, which include moving to different digs and finding his way as a professional in the counselling field. The move is for tomorrow and I have the new address which is close to the shore and away from the traffic! He sounded well in control of the process, though regretting having to leave this cozy place that was home to him for almost four years and … with which I too have become quite familiar after at least three visits.
Jeltsje and I always have fine conversations about religion, world affairs, family happenings and shared memories.
I also had a long conversation with Jeltsje in Apeldoorn, NL. She is starting to prepare again for her winter layover in Egypt, which will begin late next month. We always have fine conversations about religion, world affairs, family happenings and shared memories. She, like me, has lived a long life in single style even longer than I have and that makes for an easier exchange of experiences.
Here we are the last day of September already and attuning to the Fall season. So far so good weather wise in that we enjoy much sun and fairly warm afternoons. The tree’s colours are early this year and not as abundant and brilliant as other times. The dry summer and some hail storms have taken their toll I reckon, but it is as I like to say: ’the weather whether-s‘! And not to be forgotten, I have to say good bye to September’s pleasant Friesland scene on my calendar at my typing station here.
