Found several old photos of the projection booth behind my garage.

6 good drop ceiling tiles (which I needed because a water leak killed one, and I fucked up two getting to the leak). Been staring at the empty spot in the laundry room for a couple months now. :LOL:

Another floor lamp identical to the one I have.  :zombiefuck:

An old Pioneer receiver that looks like hell to scrap.

From scrounging garage sale leftovers:

A working flashlight
A 12 foot retractable measuring tape
4 kitchen chair cushions
A souvenir of Devils Mountain, Wyoming
Elastic bandages of varying widths
4 kitchen wash clothes, new
4 kitchen towels
Clean used recycled cloth diapers (soft and useful for all sorts of stuff)
A book on needlework
A wastebasket
A few assorted hardware store odds and ends

Info on the Kailas Manasarova Yatra.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Got up early, like I do these days, and primered (can one use that as a verb?) my new bathroom door for the last time at about 10 AM. This, outside on the balcony.. with the door on two wooden supports.

Punched a hole in the old one a couple of years ago (p/m 5 or so/full-on tantrum-styley) and when a DIY store here had a 50% discount on some doors I decided to go for one. The door is good (well, not really meant for a bathroom.. multi layered it with primer.. esp. the bottom of it) and only cost me €40.

Also brought my broken Asus laptop back to the store I bought the thing. They going to look for what is wrong and contact me during the process. Hope that it goes well.

Spontaneously rang my sister's doorbell, she/her family of five live nearby said store, but nobody was there. Doesn't matter.. and I went for some grocery shopping after that. At times I feel like a kiddo in a toy store and buy food there that I consider überly nice and a bit more on the expensive side of things.

Your mood is your own creation.. don't be sad too long, I say.

'Received' my 16 days ago ordered kitchen/cook's knife too today. Prepared dinner before I got it but chopped up a cucumber, I didn't eat, just to try out the knife. Turns out 'my' garden birds also like finely chopped cucumber.

Made myself a cannelloni dish at 5 o'clock. With ricotta and spinach, fresh thyme and oregano.. minced beef meat.. and a lot of freshly ground nutmeg in a bed of Italian-like tomato sauce. It's a dish one could serve to royalty, I arrogantly dare say.

I like it..

Off to bed in a little while, now..

@ lutra

"Got up early, like I do these days, and primered (can one use that as a verb?)..." it's usually "primed." 

Answered since you seemed to some clarity.  Your English is awesome.

Thank you.. but it's not. Aside from the couple of 'happy birthday' posts I think there's not one post I made without an error in it.  ("

Um, I found out that I posted my previous post in completely the wrong thread last night. Supposed to be in the 'What have you done today?' thread.

Arsed?

No, not really..

A mower that I'm too tired to unload right now, had a sign taped on it "free works, bad wheel" looks decent and like it's not too old either :thumbup:

...and wait for it....

Not an actual 8-track recording, though, right?

  Yesterday (?) I found a mosquito bite on my arm.  It's my first bite of the year.  :autism:

Yesterday I found a tini white Buddleja davidii growing in the gutters. Pulled it out and took it home. Not even 10 cm, and already proudly blooming. It survived the transition to a pot very well. It will get a good place in the garden, after it is well settled and with a decent root system.

Today I found that one of the cats I am taking care of for the holidays did well tonight.
Yesterday night she went into labour, the moment we were there to feed her. This morning when I checked, she was still in labour, but with some kittens around her too. When I looked again five minutes later, the last of the five kittens was born. All healthy and active.
