With an overnight rain and a brief downpour this afternoon, I think we've had enough for a week. The rainy season continues. While the sun shone, we went to town with a list and got most of it done. It was a good day.
Isn't it fun having an easy 'Zany Day' song? From your responses, this one was a snap. Here's the next verse:
"Took her out and tried to win her, had a laugh and over dinner, told her I would really like to see her again. Got the bill and __ paid it, took her home and nearly made it, sitting on a sofa with a sister or two. __ __ meter maid, where would I be without you? Give us a wink and make me think of you...." Hint: Let the meter run out and maybe you can meet her. (555)
This morning we tackled the portion of Bus Station street we've been avoiding. Near the corner where it intersects with the storm drain construction, parking is difficult, driving is free-form, and it's just not fun. Today we managed to find that one space that allowed us to visit several shops within walking distance. At the health food store we asked the owner if the street work was hurting business. She said she gets some customers, but it has hurt them a bit. Walking along the main drag, we noticed that a big portion of the street had been finished and repaved. It was not cause for celebration though, the next segment is a giant hole in the street. No one knows how long it will be like this, but the hope is that by the beginning of 'High Season' things will be back to normal.
At Central Plaza we checked on the fans for my laptop and discovered that they are coming from Singapore and the waiting continues. The stationary store is at the other end and as we passed under a giant, overhead screen we saw a little toddler. His grandfather pointed to the colorful lights on the big screen and the little boy stopped. Then the dance music started, his body took over, and he began to dance. It was one of those special moments. There are a series of businesses on the upper level that are all related to beautification. There is a skin care center, the body sculpting center, and something called F.B. Medical which remains a mystery. They were all having their morning staff meetings, the young women dressed in their stylish suits with immaculate hair and make-up. A few steps down the hair salons were doing their thing. Morning in the mall is fascinating.
This afternoon, not long after our swim, the rain came again and stayed long enough to once again soak the yard. The grass has grown so fast that it's time to call the yard crew again.
Today's photo was taken out in the country. This spirit house was the only thing left after the main house was demolished. Presumably, it was left behind because it was occupied.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
