Tuesday’s first order of business was going to Life Labs. I was first in line and so it went quickly. Then I hurried home to fetch Her Highness so that we could go for a walk. It was a beautiful morning to walk, and it was also beautiful to come home to a toasty warm house.
Once back home, and with nothing on my agenda (as usual), I got onto the chaise, turned on the electric blanket and opened Travels With My Aunt until it was time to feed everyone lunch, and by then it had clouded over and become a gloomy day. After lunch, Her Highness and I went to Rollo Park to play fetch and to burn many of her calories.
Then I watched an edition of Great Designs when we got home, and then, as the sky cleared up, we went for a walk in the 707 Park. I was glad to get outdoors three times with her. And I loved being so carefree with no meal to make this weekend. But I am going to serve a lunch to Aidan who’s coming to visit on Saturday. (Aidan is the stuttering advocate who’s coming here to meet me.)
Today is International Stuttering Day and STAMMA, the British national stuttering association, has launched a website calling for greater understanding of the problem that AI-generated voices for people with speech impediments. I wrote a short screed that was on their homepage this morning (but is probably in rotation with other personal statements from people who stammer). Here’s a link to the campaign homepage.
Today will be another slow day, but we’ll walk with our friends and we’ll go into the village to renew some prescriptions and to do some shopping. I hope today is as good a day as yesterday when it comes to caloric intake. I shall do my best.
I’ve been watching The Gold. It’s a Masterpiece program currently showing on PBS on Sunday nights, and I find it ironic that a program about a brazen gold bullion theft is on at the same time as the recent Louvre equally as brazen heist. I like the show, but criminal acts disturb me as I’m forced to realize how horrid we humans can be.
