Looking up

Still in Rocamadour, Spring 2006. Some of the best views in town are right above your head.

Can you see the bird soaring in the upper left?

The rain has taken a break and I got a good part of the yard mowed on Wednesday. The rest should get done today and/or Friday in advance of the next weather system. I stopped at the pharmacy on my way to the Super U drive yesterday. They had masks, so I got two. I had to pay for them, and they're just fabric. Real medical masks are reserved for health care workers. Also, the recycle stations around town are open again. We will have to make several trips to dispose of our month and a half long accumulation of glass, paper, plastic, and cardboard.

At the supermarket, we did get eggs, but they were out of yeast. Quelle surprise. They also didn't have the chicken wings we ordered. Somebody bought them before they filled our order. I guess you could call that a "pullet surprise" (say it out loud). Oh well, chickens have lots of other parts.

  1. A small consequence of Australian cities being blanketed with bushfire smoke at the start of the year as that everyone bought N95 masks or similar and so we've had plenty on hand as this crisis hit.

  3. The pullet surprises were awarded this week but I’m sure you knew that. ;)
    We had very clear skies last night and the full moon was magnificent! We watched it rise as we were having dinner.
    Fingers crossed for yeast in your next order.

  4. What a fabulous place, and this photo is perfection! The one thing SG has been consistently unable to get at the supermarket is yeast. Everything else has been in plentiful supply.

  5. mike, interesting. You guys got hit with a double whammy!

    chm, merci !

    judy, parts is parts.

    bettyann, we'll try again. Thanks!

    mitch, we didn't get eggs one time, but got them the next. Yeast is still not proving itself (ha!) to be in supply.
