Because I had a 2-hour nap in the dreariness of yesterday, I was up until 1am watching yet another Godfather rerun.
Today is a different story again, 31C at the moment, with glorious sun and blue sky. I hope the rain has not abandoned us totally...
The new fencing contractors stopped by to pick up the rolling doors to be re-done properly straight. They may be here Thursday to install everything...
Sofi is visiting again to play board games with Cristina.
I went outside for 20 minutes on the patio, locked the dogs inside the house, and Tom Thumb came right away to inspect the new nectar we provided yesterday. I took what I thought were about 17 good shots with the P1100 but they were crap. I am showing you only 2 just to show how bad...
But a few steps into the sunshine in the mid-yard yielded nice shots for the D5600. I am sure we will see the paragliders (called "cometas") practicing from Roldanillo into February, slicing overhead, riding the thermals with the vultures.
I spotted an unusual dragonfly which usually desert our yard because of the small mosquito population since we drained our lake...
I am happy with the sharpening and de-noise capabilities of the Topaz Photo AI program which now works superbly with my new computer and laptop. Hopefully I am good for a few years now on that front.
My niece, Dawn, will be moving into our building in a week. She was desperate to get subsidized housing quickly, waiting for one in Leduc was going to take forever, and I was able to luck out with a sudden opening at the Manoir...
For some odd reason, I had a problem with the right-click menu not coming up and I researched online for remedies which I was hesitant to tackle. Then I did a simple re-start and all came back to normal... Whew!
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
