Usual Sunday morning. Also did some gardening: I noticed that a plant–I don’t even know what it was called; I bought it on a whim at the nursery a couple of years ago and it has been taking up space in the corner of the balcony ever since without doing much of anything–was sick and heavily infested with mildew. So I chopped it up and took the green bags of twigs and the root ball to the compost bin on the third floor.
Also did some guitar work, and some reading and watching YT.
In the afternoon I did the AV for a talk. This was an account of guided trekking in the Himalayas. The son of a resident and his wife, paid for a guide and two porters to lead them for 20 days walking around the Himalayas, including the Everest Base Camp and a bunch of other spots. Serious hiking for a couple of 50-sometbings, even though the porters carried most of the luggage.
After supper, Joanne brought a DVD that a friend had recommended, and we watched it on my TV. The Taste of Things, in French, about a gourmet and his cook. Subtle and very slightly romantic.
