Another day with no appointments. Walked to the nearby farmers market. On Monday afternoon, as usual on a holiday there’s no evening meal service. Also as usual the 6th floor will gather in our dining room to picnic on our sack suppers. I have the notion that I’ll make a fruit compote, a big bowl of cut-up ripe fruit. So I walked around the market sniffing the fruit and being disappointed. Maybe my nose is shot, but I didn’t smell ripe fruit. Bought one basket of raspberries and some nice red seedless grapes. Later in the day I found some decent pluots at the grocery store.
Spent an hour collecting the audio for some folk songs to play in the half hour before the actual folk fest. Spent some time practicing my two numbers.
Dropped down to FOPAL to take care of a task that’s been pending for two weeks. Somebody donated a box of 20 identical books, manuals for how to build projects based on a commercial hobby chip. Useless without the kit of electronics, and anyway available free as a PDF online. But they were bound with spiral plastic rod. In order to recycle them I had to separate the plastic from the paper. I took my wire-cutter and did that job, getting several nicks in my hands.
Stopped at Town and Country and had a Kirk’s burger for supper.
