A. Morning Musings

6:20 am It is + 7 C at the moment, with a forecast high of + 26 C. Another sunny day in the forecast.

As I review my list of Immediate activities for today I am struck by its brevity. Although sometimes a short item may take a few hours more to accomplish than originally planned. This may apply to the grouting chore as well as the wiring of the lower mainline model train track.

This may be a good time to add one or two items from other categories, such as Technology, or History, or Science, or Mathematics. I will think about this over a coffee.

1:30 PM There are a few clouds on the horizon as well as a light haze.

I have finished recaulking the edge where the wall tiles meets the kitchen counter top. That pretty well takes care of the household chores for the moment.
