Here we be: February

🌨 January was a month... Not as much rain as last year. We shall see how February stacks up! 

  

😷 I took my BP, 129/87, which is a good number for me. Still feeling vertigo, I'm wondering if it could be something to do with my secondary cataract in my left eye. We have some COVID rapid tests, set to expire today, and I was negative. This is what I thought. It is good to rule out certain things. I am feeling more energy and did some light housework. 

📺 What do you when the weather is poor, and you are feeling poorly? We watched the funeral of our late politician Ed Broadbent. He had a state funeral. He was an amazing man. It was a lovely celebration of life. He enjoyed classical music, and the musicians were amazing at the funeral. He made such a difference in the world.

♭𝄞 Singing at the funeral were terrific musicians. The NAC Orchestra and the Daniel Taylor and The Theatre of Early Music Choir participated, including Heather Lynn, who sang at our wedding. Can you pick her out?! She was my 38-year-old's girlfriend when he was in gr. 12. She was on a full music scholarship in New York the summer after our wedding in 2002. She's married, with a family. A delightful young woman. Daniel Taylor is a well-known counter tenor, with the red hair.

In the evening, I was playing with Cinnamon, and along came Nutmeg. She likes to sit on top of Clown Pants. Cinnamon likes to sit with his head in it, tail sticking out the back! 

It is the best toy!

There were quite a few deer, including Duke, our wounded buck. He is doing better. He can put weight on his ankle. He avoided the others the first few day, but is hanging out with them now. There was an altercation, and he rose up on his back legs and was whacking away at another buck.

I hope February treats us all well. Good luck to you!
