What are you doing today?

Today I swim and relax. Tomorrow I’m trying a meeting of the local Democrats. I’ll keep you all posted.

Relaxed? I’ve read about that. I must try it some time.
Been to the tip twice, mowed two lawns and some other garden chores.

I did manage a walk.
 
Today it's Denver Botanic Gardens and then the first day of the World Snooker Championship final! It should be a great set of sessions between Judd Trump and Ronnie O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan has been very, very focused throughout the tournament, more so than I've seen in years. He'll be trying for his 7th championship win, with Trump going for his 2nd. Both are great and entertaining players.
 
Still kicking around if I should put a NAS on my home network. And if so, do I want to put my Lightroom image libraries (and sync'd catalog) on it. Have been going back and forth on this for a week or two. Getting closer to deciding.

Just rename Monday to Sunday, Part 2 ... :LOL:

Hell I tried that when I was still working, just to see if I could avoid getting the Sunday afternoon blues and move those into Monday proper where they belonged. 🤪

But in retirement, even though I don't like Mondays, or all the chores I somehow thought would vanish along with paid work, at least I get to schedule and reschedule when some of those chores get done.

I don't miss the rat-race of beancounter-driven project deadlines and surprise "oh by the way..." spec changes from clients during beta testing, that's for sure.
 
Today I'm getting real about shifting into high gear on spring chores.

We've gone straight from wary daffodils trying to come up through late snowfall (and later again through a lot of mud) to dandelions popping into bloom on this very fine and sunny morning.

So must be time to reach out to the guy who mows the lawn...
 
I am going to mow, probably with a little more clothes.

Maybe. :D

The battery powered mower is so nice, it's always ready, it's quiet (so I can actually listen to music, podcast with earbuds), no smell, it's a real game changer for our yard, which isn't huge, and during the summer needs a trim every 4 days or so. Most of my mowing grief came from dealing with the equipment, heck, otherwise I kind of dig on it: outside, fresh air, sun, a project with a simple and clear beginning / middle / end, and when it's over, there's an immediate, nice improvement.
