It is -1 C with a high forecast of +13 C. Sunrise 7:57 Sunset 19:26 Hours of daylight: 11:29
We begin Daylight Saving Time this morning. A quick check shows that there is now a seven hour difference between us and NSW. This is one day when I appreciate the clock on the laptop. Trying to remember how to change the various clocks in the house is a challenge.
Today is different than yesterday. My list of activities is much shorter. We brought a bulletin board home from the genealogy library on Friday. It needs to have a new surface mounted on it. We now have a couple of sheets of masonite and a length of cork that need to be cut to size and attached. This looks like a good day to tackle this. But I will wait until noon to see if it warms up a bit as I will be working in the garage which is not heated.
I would also like to put in a couple of hours on my workshop materials.
| Learning Category | Planned Activities for Today | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Literature | Begin morning with a Rumi reading | |
| Technology | Make preliminary notes for AusWeb 2008 workshop | 4 hr |
| Literature | Continue reading "Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver | 1 hr |
A good day. It helps when I set the day up realistically. I have made good progress on my workshop materials and am thoroughly enjoying the novel Prodigal Summer.
Here is one quote from the novel that I liked when I read it:
"The moth settled onto the curtain and sat still. It was an astonishing creature, with black and white wings patterned in geometric shapes, scarlet underwings, and a fat white body with black spots running down it like a snowman's buttons. No human eye had looked at this moth before; no one would see its friends. So much detail goes unnoticed in the world." [p. 170]
