Not much, but that's about to change.

Because of you?

I'm planning to do some painting today.

And then watch it dry?

What will you be painting, and in what colour and finish?
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

The house. Yellow. Oil-based.

Cool. Do you have a wooden house?

Yes, with a newly renovated exterior. The painting would have been done long ago if it hadn't been for the weather.

Cars going past and the neighbours making noise as usual.

Dyed wool hangs outside to dry. Flowers blossom. Soon I will be there too, hanging my white laundry.

Some guys walking and talking through the streets. They drank less than needed to be really drunk, but enough to not realise the volume of their voices. It's 1:28 am.

^Wow.

Here neighbours had a heated discussion and then got in their car (at least I think it is theirs, they told me they were getting one) and drove away kinda quietly.

Another train passed by. This one looked like the express train to Stockholm.

You can see trains from your house? Awesome.

I live one block away from a street with a train track running down the middle of the street.  The tracks were there when the street was only a wagon trail.

The entire thing is a part of a transportation museum and the trains are just there to show off, but this time of year (fair season)  the trains run several times per day.  They have about twenty engines from the thirties, forties, and fifties that pull usually about twelve or so diner cars or passenger cars downtown to the fairgrounds. 

So every day we get to see five or six classic old trains pulling passenger cars one block away.

They also have a HUGE steam engine from the eighteen nineties, but it only is run about three times per year.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
